Tips:

A sprouting tip from Moon-Light Micro-Farm
Tip for growing your own sprouts (alfalfa, etc.):
The weather has definitely shifted this week and it won't be long before longer and hotter days are here. If you are growing sprouts indoors and the temperature in your home closely relates to the temperature outside, you may notice your sprouts growing faster. Be sure to keep sprouts out of direct sunlight, rinse with cold water once or twice a day, and drain well.
