Seeds for sprouting should
always
be certified organic or at
the very least 'food quality'. Green
Harvest also has available a wide
range of vegetable seeds for
sprouting in bulk packets (25g,
100g, 1kg).
Beetroot
Cabbage

Kale
Mizuna
Rocket
Turnip
IMPORTANT:
Please remember that sprouts are
basically seeds and so obey the
germination rules of seeds. That
is, they all have a preferred
temperature range below and
above which they will not
germinate. Seeds can basically
be divided into warm and cool
season. Now is the time for cool
season sprouts (alfalfa,
broccoli, cabbage, fenugreek,
kale, onion, radish, rocket).
Wait until spring before trying
to grow warm season sprouts
(buckwheat, mung, soybean,
sunflower) unless you have a
centrally heated house or live
in north Qld. If the night time
temperature drops below the
recommended temperature then
usually the seed will rot, not
sprout.

AUTOMATIC SPROUTER
Grow fresh and nutrient
packed greens inside the
house! Now any room with
some natural light (avoid
direct sunlight) can produce
food! We have been
successfully growing in a
garage during the coldest
and shortest days of winter.
This Easy Green automatic sprouter will: soak,
rinse, mist, oxygenate and
drain through the full seed
to sprout growth cycle. It
can hold 5 cartridge-style
sprouting trays (supplied)
320mm x 60, which allows for
tasty and nutritious sprouts
throughout the week. Or use
the large tray (390mm x 330)
for a bigger quantity of
grasses (wheat, oat,
barley).
No soil is required so
growing and harvesting
sprouts and micro greens is
super easy. No pre-soaking
of seed is necessary, so you
get your sprouts sooner
(15-40% quicker). The 5L
reservoir holds enough water
for 2 days. Water is misted
onto the seed or young
sprouts at regular intervals
by using the timer supplied.
This misting helps to avoid
mould and rotting, produces
a faster crop and supplies
abundant amounts of oxygen
to the vibrantly growing
sprouts. Supplied with a 1m
drainage tube the water is
used only once ensuring a
clean supply of water is
used for each misting cycle.
The unit is self-cleaning
with the addition of bleach
or hydrogen peroxide.
With a total “footprint” of
580mm deep x 430 wide x 200
tall, this will
be your most productive,
least maintenance required,
food-producing area of your
property. Please measure and

this 6kg unit, as it is a
large kitchen appliance.

to manufacturers’
international website are
supplied.
Spare parts are available.
This well designed
electrical appliance is
especially beneficial to
extend the eating of fresh
greens during the hot humid
summers in the subtropical
and tropical zones and
during cold wintery
conditions of the southern
states. Great for renters,
people who work long days,
children, vegans, vegetarian
pet owners, bird fanciers
and anyone who would rather
eat their nutrients than buy
“nutritional supplements”.
The
units can be stacked 5-6
tall for very keen sprouters
or small
commercial growers
(restaurants / café / tuck
shop).

productive greens – raise
microgreens! Here’s a way to

and are harvested by being
snipped off, leaving the
roots behind. You’ll be
inspired by dozens of photos
of lush, healthy greens
grown in a huge variety of
containers from eggshells to
teacups to terracotta pots
to bottles, pots and trays
of all shapes and sizes.

Microgreens Growing Guide
Nutritious – Organic –
Beautiful – Easy to Grow
Microgreens are home-grown
mini-greens: larger than
sprouts and smaller than
baby salad greens. They are
classed as microgreens after
they have produced at least
two true leaves after the
cotyledons (seed leaves)
appear. Whereas sprouts are
germinated seeds grown in
dark, moist conditions and
eaten whole, microgreens are
grown in light, on soil or
similar substrate and are
harvested by cutting the
stems, leaving the roots
behind. Microgreens add
flavour, colour, texture and
nutrition to your food. They
can be grown in pots,
saucers, baskets, styrofoam
boxes or in a garden bed.
With just a few small
containers you can have a
range of vegetables it would
take a large backyard to
produce to full size and in
a fraction of the time. This
A4 sized, three fold, glossy
cardboard guide shows how
easy it is to grow
microgreens. Beautifully
illustrated with photographs
of the seed and leaves for
each of the 28 microgreens
described; each profile
includes suggested uses,
germination times, ideal
growing conditions and more.
Step-by-step guides to
growing in soil and with the
hydroponic method are
illustrated with clear
diagrams. Create a beautiful
garden in your kitchen or on
your balcony in only weeks! BM111 $12.00
