Sprouting!

We need to eat plants that have not traveled on trucks and airplanes. Sprouts in the store are a dead food. You know they're dead because they won't grow if you plant them.

When you eat food from your Sprouter, it's still growing in the moment you eat it! You're eating the very energy and balance of Life itself. I could never describe in words the beautiful new life that's given me. And my relief to be free from pain.

I know the factory-made sprouter well because I used it myself for a year. And sold it in that time.

See how my home-built Sprouter wins on every count!

"You know, you're absolutely right about Easygreen. I have two Easygreen microfarms in my bedroom. I have to turn them off every night because they make such a noise that I cannot sleep. And they get clogged very often, so I have to disassemble the machine every 2 weeks. In fact last time I had to BREAK the machine into parts and then re-glue them again in order to clean the lime stone deposit inside the mist generator."

"And it is VERY expensive. In fact it costs $300 here, and by our standart the price is unaffordable. The average monthly salary in Bulgaria is $300 [Feb 2009]. I do not really understand how could a plastic box + a $3 timer, all MADE in CHINA, cost so much???"

"Many visiting friends like the taste of fresh sprouted seeds and want to have this machine. But, as I said, it EasyGreen is unaffordable so I plan to make your GoGreen sprouter for them."

Philip in England reports:

"From 2 years of experience with having to clean the easygreen sprouter - i am sick of it. I hope to place an order for Dan's large mist kit soon. It will be perfect to get this kit and have a faucet water fed sprouter. Unplug and put the whole box in the shower and give it a good spray and wipe down without trying to shove my huge hand through an ackward limescaled easygreen hole to clean inside."

Actually Philip you don't ever need to unplug my Sprouter and take it to your shower! Occasionally I use a jug of hot water to wipe down the inside of the growing container. It never gets the slime that EasyGreen gets. I also had that big hassle with EasyGreen, trying to get my hand into the water reservoir to clean it every week.

Why does the EasyGreen slime up inside? Because the water stands still in its reservoir. With my GoGreen Sprouter, there's no reservoir, you just click it onto a faucet (built-in quick-connect fittings) and water sprays out of the mist nozzles, onto your plants and down a drain hole. The drain-tube you can lead into a sink, floor drain, garden or bucket (same as EasyGreen).

Dr WH in Malaysia writes:

"I have been experimenting with sprouting and, yes, I even bought the Easygreen unit. Your observations on the deficiencies of that unit are accurate as I had the same experience. You even dared to reveal them to the global public and remained unchallenged by Easygreen."

He mentions, "I am a retiree with time on my hands, and I am contemplating to start a small business growing and selling sprouts." My advice for a sprout biz – begin with two Basic or Large Mist Kits. Two Kits will build four Sprouters – see photos of Kits here.

As your business grows, you easily add more Sprouters to the same water-line.

My GoGreen Sprouter uses a few mist nozzles which are easy to unscrew and soak in nozzle cleaner once a month or quarterly, while a spare set of nozzles continues to mist your plants. Nozzles are cheap to replace over the years.

EasyGreen uses a baby humidifier motor for misting, noisy and expensive to replace.

EasyGreen claims: "Conventional sprouting methods supply plenty of water yet only provide air by natural displacement." This refers to the round manual sprouters, where you pour water in yourself, not to my GoGreen Automatic Sprouter which moves the old air out every time it mists.

EasyGreen further claims: "Our mist generator provides timed doses of high volumes of fresh oxygenated air, oxygenating the water and cooling the seeds in one simple operation."  Truth is both my GoGreen Sprouter and EasyGreen mist the sprouts automatically at timed intervals.

Mist is "fresh oxygenated cooling air" – whether it comes from a humidifier or a mist nozzle – this is what all mist is, teeny droplets in high-oxygen air.

The mist could even come from a hand-spray, like the one we'd use to spray our face on a hot summer's day, or to spray the ironing. But with sprouts it's too much hassle to spray for three minutes every three hours by hand.

EasyGreen says their technology is patented but in fact misting or fogging with a timer has been around for decades in hydroponics. You may've noticed at your local produce store a line of nozzles or foggers above the greens, misting them at regular intervals.

Same with an inline water filter – it's available off-the-shelf. My Sprouter Plans give details.

Plus FreshLife recyles its own dirty water, yeugh, full of low-level toxins like enzyme inhibitors. Such dirty water leads to bacterial growth on the sprouts.

FreshLife uses a noisy motor, and you must carry it to the kitchen or bathroom to clean out and re-fill daily with water – no going away for a weekend.

As for the non-automatic Sprouters, Carolyn of York, PA wrote:

"I sprouted for about a year using a plastic sprouter in shape of a house that began to leak in the 4-corners. Then I bought a 3-tray hanging sprouter that swang wildly & dumped water on the floor of my apt. The place I bought these 2 sprouters would not refund my money or give me credit."

My Sprouter is so easy to assemble – and fun – especially when you and a friend build your Sprouters together!
