Hello,
I grow wheatgrass in flower boxes with soil to which I regularly add soil aditives with
Ca, Mg, Fe in form of zeolites to maintain soil.
My procedure is:
1. Prepare the soil and put seeds in trays on soil.
2. Put the boxes on windows
3. First harvesting ( cutting )when the wheatgrass is for a 5 to 10cm in width
4. Leaving for another harvesting cycle
5. After that I pull out the wheatgras with roots
and mix the soil. I cut the roots and this second harvesting plants I use for
juice
6. After that I mix and refresh the soil in the box.
7. I put the seeds of water-cress or alfa-alfa
for intermediate
8. After water-cress or alfa-alfa is 2 or 3 cm in width I
pull out with roots and usit in salads with sprouts.
9. After that I begin new cycle with wheatgrass
put the seeds and once more for two harvesting.
My question!
After first harvesting I get mold between plants on soil.
I know because of winter time I have boxes indoor on windows and that way now in winter I can guaarantee enough light and fresh air to prevent molds.
But still!
Can I oxidizing this soil with after-first harvest ( cut plants one time ) with
30% peroxid- H2O2. I would spray the plants and soil. I am not sure if 30% H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) would
be too strong for plants ( could harm the leaves and roots )?
3% diluted H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) seems too weak. It doesn't help.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Happy New Year and lot of warm hearts and souls aroud us in 2008.Advertisement

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,071,638Hello snow runner growing grass for 2 cuttings is always problematic.I personaly wont drink second harvest grass juice do to lack of quality in the older grass not to mention the taste.Trying to contol mold for 2 harvests is difficult under ideal conditions.I grow 3-5 litters of alfalfa a month using an easy sprouter which is soilless.This is so easy compared to using a growing medium,you should check out sproutpeople.com for info. on sprouting.I also grow mung bean,chick pea,sweet green pea,sunflower sunnies and lentils indoors just by using water and several easy sprouters.Mold is always an issue of moisture control moist not wet you can always use a fan to increase circulation and a dehumidifier to control humidity.I use both of these tools during differnt seasons to enhance my sprouting abilities.Good luck and happy sprouting.Jeff.

This is a reply to # 1,072,129Hello Jeff,
1. Sprouting
You mentioned easy sprouter. Yes I am also planning to buy easyspruter.
Momently I grow alfa-alfa and watercress in two forms. In sprouting form on filtrated water in sprouting cheap modules ( not so sofistocated as easysprouter is ).
2. What I meant woith growing alfa-alfa and watercress in soil after wheatgrass harvesting is just to refresh the soil and to have intermediate growing between two wheatgrass growings.
3. But let me stick to your practice that you don't harvest second growing of wheatgrass. That means I should pull out the roots after first harvesting, doesn't it?
I agree that second harvesting is not too so good as the first one. So you're trying to tell me that for healing and detox power it is better to avoid second harvesting.
Also as I understand you for avoiding molds I should maintain dry and windy place.
That is a bit problem because I live in the flat and using balcony. And at this time of the year ( winter, snow, ... ) it is hard to provide those conditions.
That is why I used 30% peroxide. But If I mix regularly the soil by refreshing after each harvesting I think the mods would disappear. I would still grow watercress and
alfa-alfa in the soil between two wheatgrass crops. Because those water-cress and alfa-alfa baby plants are much more ( I guess ) rich with clorophylle.
You're wonderfull source of info. Thank you in advance for any kind of info.
I ordered few books ( I live in Europe ) of Ann Wigmore on wheatgrass indoor growing and juicing but it will take few weeks to receive my book package from Amazone.
I am looking forward to books but till then I hope I can count on your help and advices.
Kind Regards,
Ivan,Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,072,404Hello Ivan have you tried growing your grass in trays?They are much easier to use and make better use of space and increase production.The growing containers you are using are how deep and wide and length?I grow in 11-21 inch trays that are 2inches deep and rotate these trays on grow racks.I just dump the whole flat on the compost pile and reuse it later as part of my growing mix.There are pictures of my racks and other tools here at curezone in the Image Gallery in the photos section under grassmans sprouts.Pulling out the roots must be a real pain once they become root bound and do the roots tend to turn brown and have a sour smell?Once the grass starts to get tall the air circulation in the crop drops off thats why a fan can be helpfull.The best way to win the war against mold is to never fight the battle.Baking soda will knock mold down instantly but it also changes the ph of the area it is used in.Mold is more an issue of how wheatgrass is grown to many plants to close together and to much water.Good luck and happy sprouting.

This is a reply to # 1,073,117Jeff,
You're wonderfull source of info. I apreciate it.
I am waiting from Amazon for many books of Ann Wigmore and CreativeHealing institute so ...
But still. I admit that I am doing sprouting on water for aabout 3 years
( alfa-alfa, watercress, radische, ... ) but I can even think about doing 3l per day of sporuts. That's marveillous. As I understood you're using easysprouter so as for sprouting on water as for wheatgrass ( for sprouting on soil ).
So I guess you're much much more efficient. So I seriously consider your advice to
start with easy sprouter. You said you produce over 3 littres per day!
I would need that quantity as for my diet as for healing diet of my neighbour that is fighting with cancer and osteoporosis.
My question?
Would it be suitable to use second harvest for enema liquid for cleansing lower parts
of colon ( in fasting periods for example ).
My second question is:
what do you think on loss of healing and detox power of wheatgrass juice when mixed with other juices. For example I can't persuade my daughter to drink wheatgrass juice otherway than with pine-apple or orange juice.
I am also drink it with lemon juice when I am not on cleansing fast.
Your arguments about molds and not fightening against them are very relevant and also persuadive.
Kind Regards

This is a reply to # 1,077,037Hello Ivan I grow 3-5 litters a month not a day of alfalfa.I grow alfalfa for 5-9 days depending on how the growing conditions are.Right now its closer to 9 days do to the cold temps. and the short days of winter.This amount is more than enough for my personal needs.As far as growing in a growing medium/soil augments I grow wheat,barley grass along with buckwheat and sunflower greens.My favorite is sunflower greens do to fact they can be juiced,blended or eaten as greens.As far as refreshing the growing medium goes I reuse my flats after they have been worked over in the compost pile.I then use about 60% compost and 30% vermiculite and some mushroom compost from the local greenhouse along with some food grade kelp and some azomite/crushed rock.The vegatative state of wheat/barley grass is up to the jointing stage.This is where the nutrients are at there maximum and afterwards the plant uses these nutrients for plant growth.The best way to drink grass juice is to swish it in the mouth until the saliva is mixed readily with the juice.This can be difficult do to taste but all food should be chewed properly for digestive reasons this includes juice.Mixing juice is not really an issue for a healthy person and is a mute point from an enzyme point of view.I dont know much about enemas but using poor grade juice in any fashion would be well poor.Oh did you look at my pictures in the Image Gallery here at curezone?And if you have pictures of your grass you can download them in the Image Gallery so we can see what you are talking about.Talk to you latter.Jeff.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,073,117Would aditional UV light - plant reflectors help in preventing mold on soil during growing wheatgrass?
It's specially important for winter growing in colder regions.
Because at that time we have to protect trays with weatgrass and closing them in place where there's less air flux and daily light
