As you all know, I grow my own food. Sprouts actually. I SPROUT EVERYTHING.

But I've been doing the research and I found out I could turn my sprout rack into a min-greenhouse. And doing this, frees up the shelves so I can put my trays on it. I still sprout fenugreek in mason jars because they just don't sprout well in my trays. But I do EVERYTHING else in my trays.

So take a look at Melody's new toy. I named it and everything.

That's fantastic.

You're the greatest sprouter yet.

Hubby's not wanting to eat sprouts. He never would on salad bars either.

Can you post some good links to read for the benefits of eating spouts.

I would love to become a sprouter too. Your greenhouse is to die for.

No problem.

Here you go

I try to keep my body in an alkaline state at all times. Not an acidic. I read up on it and my body is MUCH less inflamed since I eat my sprouts.

My salads are to die for. Soooo colorful.

This way of eating took me YEARS to accomplish. But I'm glad I finally got there.

lol

P.S. GO FOR IT. Start with a simple jar and some seeds. Soak over night. Watch them sprout for 5 days.

You'll be in heaven.
lol

I'd met a neuropathic healer and she introduced to alkaline water. She closed up shop and I'm without the water and can tell a difference. Do you have filtered alkaline water?

The units sell for about $1,200. Pricy but I don't want the apparatus attached to my kitchen sink. it's an open floor plan. I was told I could install it under the sink and run a line up through the countertop. I am considering that.

Hi Melody,

Where do you get the seeds for your sprouts? I might want to try this.

Hi all!!

Don't think I could afford akaline water, but I do drink plain old tap water (and nothing else but a cup of coffee in the morning when I go out for breakfast.

Everything else is just plain water. Nothing carbonated. Don't like the fizz.

As for where I get my seeds.

Very easy.

I only buy broccoli seeds from Sprout House.com. They have the BEST price.

Everything else I get at Handypantry.com

I use their round green sprouting garden. Have two sets.

You can see them in my video.

I LOVE THE WAY THE SPROUTS GREEN UP and look in my salads.

Going to make one right now.

Take care you guys and HAPPY SPROUTING.

lol

How do you keep your body in an alkaline state? I can really tell a difference without the alkaline water.

Hey Melody, Koala is looking for advice on sprouting when you get a moment. I did post a link to this thread over there for her.

The whole subject is fascinating and you inspire me. Thanks so much for all the info. I need to at least eat a bit better - as soon as life calms down, I promise.

We'll know Friday if we are really moving to FL or not and there's a ton of stuff to do from there, either way. I can garden and sprout here or there, but there will be a new kitchen in my near future either way first.
