Rather than buying, it's easy to grow at home and obviously cheaper. Below I've written some steps on how to grow wheatgrass at home. <h2><strong>How to grow wheatgrass</strong></h2> Wheatgrass is easily grown indoors. The grass can be grown with or without soil. The first step is to start with fresh, quality wheatgrass seeds, and to pre-sprout (soak) them. <ul> <li>Give the seeds a thorough wash with cold water. Then place in a container along with cold water, and let soak over night (8-10 hours) at room temperature.</li> <li>In the morning, drain, rinse and replace the water. Allow the seeds to soak for another 8 hours. Repeat this cycle 3 times.</li> <li>After the 3rd time, check to see if any of the seeds are starting to sprout. When they do show signs of sprouting, the seeds can be planted into a tray with or without soil.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Setting up the sprouting tray</strong></h3> <p style="text-align: left;">Use any size tray, just make sure there are drainage holes in the bottom.</p> <ul> <li>If using soil, fill tray with at least 1 1/2" - 2"of potting soil and moisten soil with water, preferable with a spray bottle.</li> <li>Place the seeds in a single layer across the empty tray or on top of the soil.</li> <li>Lightly press seeds into soil and lightly mist with water.</li> </ul> The tray can then be covered by another tray and kept in a dark location. Sometimes people will place the tray in indirect sunlight the last couple days of sprouting - this will give the grass more colour. <h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Harvesting</strong></h3> Usually it takes 10 days before harvest time. When it's ready, the grass should be approx. 6" tall. <ul> <li>When you are ready to do some juicing, use scissors and cut just above the soil. </li> <li>If you spot mold in the tray, just cut above it as the wheatgrass should still be good.</li> <h3>Where to buy wheatgrass seeds</h3> Canadian residents can buy the seeds online at <a href="https://www.seed-bank.ca/" rel="noopener">Natural Seed Bank</a>.
