Germination without secrets

Water, heat and air

The most important factor in stimulating dormant seeds to germinate is contact with water. The key to success is to provide plants with optimal moisture and, at the same time, access to air. The third parameter is the temperature around 15-20 degrees C.Such conditions prevail in the upper layer of the soil, touched by tools and heated by the spring sun.

Therefore, if we want to sprout something at home in winter, we need to use a light substrate, such as coconut, and constantly sprinkle the crop. However, if we want to quickly get sprouts to eat, the soil can be given to ourselves and immediately use a suitable vessel, i.e. a germinator.

Sprouts can be obtained very quickly

Jar sprouting machine - it is a round jar designed to be placed diagonally.This way, the moisture that collects at the bottom evaporates, condenses immediately at the top of the jar and flows back.On the side is a large opening covered with a strainer cap. Through it, air flows in and circulates in the jar.

Proper aeration of germinating seeds is possible during their washing.Without unscrewing the cover, pour water through the strainer in the cap and pour it out immediately.It is enough to perform such a procedure 2-3 times a day, which is very convenient.

Under such conditions, seeds germinate very quickly without fear of mold or rot. In a jar, you can easily: radish, lentils, sunflower seeds, broccoli, alfalfa, kohlrabi, cabbage, Mung and Adzuki beans, black radish, barley and others.

Cress, mustard, basil and arugula

These fantastically he althy sprouts are extremely tasty. However, during the germination process, they become coated with mucus that clogs the strainer.Therefore, to get good quality sprouts, you should provide them with full access to air.These conditions can be obtained in a cup sprinkler, where the seeds are sprinkled several times a day.

Germination in glass has a lot of advantages. One of them is that glass is much easier to clean than plastic, in case our crop becomes moldy.In addition, in a transparent jar you can see if the seeds are germinating properly. Finally, they are small and very easy to use items. Sprouting finally becomes easy and hassle-free.
