Re: [wheatgrass] Help! Growing Wheatgrass in a Dorm room

I hear the chefs up on the north slope earn a fortune
and the food is good. There is a distict lack of
fresh greens.

I have daylight full spectrum lighting in every
fixture I own. My room is brighter than noon. I also
keep it about 75 degrees and have my lights on
constantly. I don't pay for electricity. My concern
is about the soil. how does that work? do I need to
use fresh soil every time I plant? Do I use it once
and then compost it? I can compost.

Thsnkd,

Leona
