Kenny's remark was sooo funny! I just tried sprouting wheat-grass that someone gave me - supposedly made for sprouting. I brought a Germinator l also. Spend a whole $14.00 for it - I grew the greatest mold and smelly seeds that you never didn't want to see or smell OMG I opened the plastic lid and the smell almost killed me!!!

Back to the drawing board! At least I didn't throw it out - not yet anyhow!

hi flame
i think we should get married the amount of mail i am sending you

you have to keep rinsing the seed through every day until the water runs clear if you leave it mould will grow!

hi blaze
if you saw my photo you would not make that statement!

as i siad though you have to keep rinsing the stuff other wise it soon forms a nice fuzz and the smell is akin to the yeast that you use for baking..mine is very small but it is quite sufficient for the amount of birds i have...i sppon out the amount i want then rinse the stuff through again to keep it fresh..just make sure you rinse it till the water is clear and then you will get rid of the bacteria

I found a site that sells 'soak seed' and they say that the seed should have the water taken out after six hours but -" NOT TO RINSE - Let stay in same jar for additional 18 hours. Then wash the seed in a large coffee strainer under running water. Wash thoroughly, shake off excess water and feed ". Sounds like I'll have the same problem - I had before. the link to the page: "http://www.fabulousfinch.com/store/prod ... =15&page=1" it's the ABBA soak seed ad.
