Hi,

Ann Wigmore really promoted the use of wheatgrass and its juice. Here is her planting protocol:

You should be able to get these organic seeds at any health-food store.

Using organic hard red winter wheat, pick out damaged, chipped or cracked seed. She planted the seed indoors using shallow trays, pie plates, etc. This same method was used for growing organic, unhulled sunflower seed and buckwheat seed.

"Soak the seed 8 - 15 hours. For best germination results, allow seed to drain 8 hours before planting.

Mix the earth you use with wet peat moss. This will assure good ventilation and drainage for developing roots. Spread the soil about one inch thick in your tray. Work the earth with your hands so it is loose and smooth. Form a trench along two sides.

Now, wet the soil thoroughly, but not so much as to form pools of water, or to make mud.

Spread a layer of seed over the soil. Each seed should touch another on all sides, but should not have any others on top of it. In other words, all the seeds should have access to the soil, and form a thick carpet covering the earth.

Cover this layer of seed with 4 - 8 pieces of soaking wet newspaper (4 pieces in hot humid weather, up to 8 in. in colder, dryer weather). Finally, place a piece of plastic over that to prevent the newspapers from drying out. Allow plastic edges to drape over the tray, do not tuck underneath, as the seeds need air to grow. Instead of using paper and plastic, use another tray as a top cover.

Growth will make whatever top cover you use rise. On the fourth day, remove the sheets or tray, and save for later use. Water the greens (this will be their first drink). Place the tray in the sunlight, or where there is plenty of daylight. Be sure to water the greens daily (once in the morning is recommended) as there is not enough soil to retain moisture.

On the seventh day, the greens will be at their peak. The wheatgrass will be about 7" or 8" tall. Cut all greens as close to the base as possible. This is where the majority of vitamins are stored.

If the soil is very rich, you might allow a second crop to come up; however, the second crop is never as thick as the first. Otherwise, remove the harvested mat from the tray and place it, face down into your compost can and allow it to decompose."

She had several composting bins going on inside her home/school.

Organic wheat seeds are super cheap! Buy the winter red wheat berries and not the softer white summer wheat berries. They grow fast and easy and this is something that the human body can thrive on. Actually most all grasses are human foods. I haven't ate them all, but the grass in my yard gave be zero ill effects, just cut it and blend it into a drink and consume with in 7 minutes.

A very olf crippled scientist confined to a wheel chair had himself dropped off at a remote cabin in his late eighties. No health, no teeth and basically I think planed on dieing. He had nothing and some how came to eat grass (with no teeth). I would guess he also had no water (but didn't write one way or the other). He never wrote his story but a friend of his did. 20 some years later this friend attended this scientist wedding, he was 100% cured and with a new set of teeth and was married at the age of about 100 (can't remember the exact story numbers) and lived well to age 112 and died. His friend wrote a story about this called "Let them eat grass".

Dr. Christopher in his huge schooling book educates you one all the herbs and there uses and towards the end of the book explains how to grow and use wheat grass and admits it is a cure for all. Again, just ine of the 1,000+ known cancer cures by year 1950. It is education on methods.
