Dr Vogel's Original bioSancky Germinator

Water the source of all life.

Forever I've been frustrated by my seed sprouting life. They sprout like a lawn on a wet Summer's day then they get mouldy, then they just don't bother to sprout. I've been through baked clay tray sprouters, ceramic attempts and the old standby of canning jars covered by cheese cloth mesh secured with elastic bands.

So today when I was in town I saw this new and improved Swiss made "Original bioSnacky Germinator" and because it was endorsed by the Dr Vogel group it MUST surely be the answer to everything sprouting that has ever plagued my healthy eating life.

As a start I bought some Alfalfa, Red Clover and Broccoli seeds. Of course these are all very organic and sourced from the most impeccable of all sources and bla bla bla. However the bioSnacky box did supply some Mung beans which I decided to put at the bottom of the sprouter stack.......these are Swiss sourced so I expect totally excellent results with absolutely no reject seeds.

Dribbling water

First rinse the seeds and spread them evenly across the base of the tray. Do this for all the different types of seeds then fill the top tray with filtered and in this case our own mountain top, well sourced Saltspring Island water. This water will dribble down through the red drains from the top tray to the bottom reservoir. Once this is done, discard the water into some thirsty houseplant since it is filled with magical, nutrient filled water infused with the essence of life enhancing stuff. Place the lid on top to retain the moisture in the air around the seeds and place the container in a light but not direct sunlight spot at a temperature between 18 and 24 degrees Centigrade.

This rinsing should be done twice a day till the sprouts are ready to eat.
Keep the trays clean by washing well between batches with warm soapy water and rinse very very well........cleanliness is a virtue in this game.
To keep a constant supply of sprouts going the trays can be staggered 4 days apart and then you can have fresh sprouts forever and ever...............I'll show the final results when and if they happen in three or four days.
