Re: Mold   Message List

Wheatgrass is very prone to mold! To control the mold here are a few
steps you can take:
1. Don't soak your seed longer than 8 hours and plant right after you
finish soaking, this will help stop the mold from developing.

2. Water with Real (Mineral) Salt, or elemite when the wheatgrass is
very young. 1 Tablespoon per gallon.

3. Keep the growing temperature somewhat cool (70 degrees) and also
dry.

4. If you still have mold, you can power rinse the mold off before
you juice.
