I had a jar sprouter which I no longer use as it gets too warm in my current apartment. So, I am in need of something that will not mold. I've been looking at the Easy Green auto sprout sys. Has anyone used this or have any other suggestions?

Re: sprouters
Wed, April 8, 2009 - 7:12 AMI don't have any experience with Easy Green -- but, if you want something cheaper than an auto-sprouter, I would check out a small tray sprouter. It drains much better and more evenly than a jar sprouter, and that may help to ward off mold.
(Another technique that helps to avoid mold is the careful and diluted use of food-grade hydrogen peroxide to rinse your sprouting system and your sprouts at the very beginning of the process.)
I've had lots of success with a small Burpee tray sprouter I got for about $13. You can even find tray sprouters at Amazon.com, just search for "sprouter." Wheatgrasskits.com also offers a variety of sprouting-system options (along with a lot of organic seeds and beans).
Hope this helps! -

Thank you. -

My mom had really good luck with these super simple natural fabric bags in our super muggy Missouri weather......
And I'm SURE you could make them yourself even cheaper! -
