I think that, maybe, the most important thing in growing wheatgrass is WATER.
Not only watering it when it is growing, but watering thoroughly before you
spread the berries is of capital importance. You have to adjust how much water
is alright when it is growing, because if too much, it will promote mold and if
to few, it will not grow enough and dehydrated.

are having your first few shots of freshly juiced wheatgrass. It's
potency is a factor as well as how much you had. Usually 1 oz is
fine, but for those with a more sensitive stomach and varying
metabolisms, it might be cause temporary sick feelings.

making sure the seeds are fresh and the soil is nutrient rich. I
have seen different samples of grown tray grass and some are greener
than others, which I find a result of the soil. The more composted,
the lighter at the root level and the more moist it is. Others may
have different opinions so it will be interesting to hear from them

half an inch and I am fine. Your grass should be about 5 to 6 inches
high when you cut it, although some commercial trays don't get more
than 4 inches high. The hard red winter variety is what I use as
well and find it is greenest at about 5 to 6 inches.

an introduction to your body of alkeline levels that are not
compatible with your normal diet. They are compatible with more raw
foods which are better for your body. Caffeine is poisonous and
other foods, meats etc have many toxins or preservatives, also not
compatible with natural wheatgrass. You are training your body to be
at it's optimum when you drink wheatgrass juice and an optimum body
craves foods that are good for it. A lethargic toxic body craves
those foods that feed that system.
