Hi All!

I just discovered wheatgrass about 2 months ago and I'm thrilled to
find this group. I've been having a blast learning about it and
growing it. I've just got a setup that I like except I dont seem to
get that much juice. So can someone read this and see what i'm doing
wrong.

A mason jar about half full of seeds soaking 12 hours, rinsed then
draining for 12, one inch organic potting soil with seeds spread
till they touch. That fills 2 large trays and 1 smaller one.
Covered with newspaper and plastic top and watered twice a day then
after about 3 days I set them under my covered front porch in the
covered tray, and plastic coverd plant stand. I juice around 5-7
inches tall I cut as close to the root as possible.

What I have is jiffy sprouting trays 10x21 covered, a outside 4 tier
plantstand with a cover/mini greenhouse, and a samson 6 in 1 juicer.
I've just used the juicer once and I got 3 ounces for 3/4 of the
whole 10x21 at 5-6 inches tall. I had the healthy juicer manual and
juicing the whole tray would have maybe gotten me 3 ounces with it?

I think i'm either putting to much or not enough seed?

I have the wheatgrass book on the way in the mail, but my friends
wife just got diagnosed with cancer yesterday, I think he said
liver? Anyway he's coming by tonight to get my whole setup to start
her juicing asap, till we get him his own setup. So I need to tell
him so he gets the maximum yeild, because she is going to try to do
a cleanse.

So if anybody has any idea what i'm doing wrong. I need to tell him
and I'm going to be juicing for myself and wife full time, and
ocasionally for my son,my mom,my wifes mom, and my 92 yr old
grandmother.

I've tried to get things to make it easy from the begining since i'm
going to be juicing alot. I've got 10 of the covered starter trays,
a covered 4 tier mini greenhouse that hold 8 trays, building a 10x12
big greenhouse in a few more weeks, I've started composting
clippings and kitchen scraps to get soil and i'm building several
homemade aerated barrel composters next week.

So I guess my 2 questions are what else could I do to make growing
easier that I haven't thought off, and mainly why am I yeilding so
little juice, I know both juicers aren't bad, and i'm reading 10-18
ounces on the same size and smaller trays, so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your time and help!
