Hi again.  I have the starter kit from wheatgrasskits
too, the one that comes complete with the manual
juicer.  I love the book that came with it as well.  I
have read the one by Ann Wigmore and loved it, but the
one that came with the kit is my favorite, although I
can't recall who the author is right now.  I also have
their mini greenhouse and I bulk order seed.  So are
you saying you don't grow your seeds in soil?  That is
mind-boggling to me (of course the list of things that
are mind boggling to me is rather longer than I care
to admit!).  I do use a soil enhancer (also from
wheatgrasskits).  It has a very silky texture and you
sprinkle it over the soil.  If I was taking my
wheatgrass juice right now, I would be able to
remember what the stuff is called.  I don't really
find that it is hard to grow and juice the grass.  My
problem is extricating myself from my family for long
enough to get it together!  O.K., so I'm disorganized.
  The truth comes out.  :-)  However, I have the utmost
confidence that I will be able to nail down a routine
this year(I think).:-)  I'm going to try the
suggestion to use organic soil from Home Depot when I
make my monthly trip to the city.  I am in total
agreement with you about making it as easy as possible
so as to be able to continue with it.  In my old age,
I am fast finding that doing many things fairly well
is better than doing one or two things perfectly, and
have come face to face with that monster you mentioned
more than once!:-) I always soak the seeds for about
12 hours but just in plain water.  Why do you add
hydrogen peroxide to the water, and how much do you
add?  I'm not sure what colloidal silver is (I'm
guessing it is not the stuff that I wear on my fingers
with pretty baubles set in them).  I have had a
horrible time with mold, and have tried different
watering methods to combat it.  I live on a peninsula
in south Texas surrounded by four shallow bays, so
needless to say trips to the sauna are unnecessary for
most of the year.  The only thing that has helped is
cutting the whole tray when it gets between six and
seven inches tall (about an inch above the soil) and
sticking it in a ziploc bag in the fridge, after
rinsing it thouroughly, of course.  It keeps really
well for about a week that way. Then I just  dump the
soil mat, wash the tray out, and start over again.
Anyway, I've gone on long enough!:-)  Thanks for the
response.

Hi Sarah !
    I received a wheatgrass kit from the wheatgrasskits site recently and
have nothing but praise for their site and the way they do business. Just a
note before I forget .... they include a book with the order. I have several
good books on the subject and intended to get them to leave the book out to
save a few dollars. Glad I didn't ! The book they send is excellent ! Better
than any of the ones I already had!
   I am going to use their kit, with the soil and soil amendments at least
until it runs out. They say that it adds a LOT to the grass in the way of
minerals and micronutrients, and I believe that. However ...... LOL .....
the very best excercise for you is the one you will continue to do ! If you
try to reach perfection you end up creating a monster that you can't keep up
with ! Believe me, I know ! I am the worlds worst at it ! LOL   :)   And it
is the same for growing wheatgrass. Using soil makes it a LOT more trouble
to keep up with, not to mention the expense.
   Last year I grew wheatgrass for several months in plastic, throwaway
plates from Walmart. Just punch holes in the them for drainage. Then I got
concerned about the plastic and changed to glass pie pans and was just very
careful about watering so they didn't get to wet and rot or mold. I watered
with a spray mister from the garden department. This worked VERY well and
was a lot simpler to do. When they got tall enough I just pulled up the
whole "mat" and cut off as much as I wanted to juice and trimmed off the
roots.
   I make my own colloidal silver and used a combination of it and hydrogen
peroxide to prevent mold. It was never a problem.
    You might play around with this on a small scale and see how it works for
you Sarah. If you err on watering the seeds, make it on the dry side. That
doesn't seem to be a problem and too wet can cause a LOT of problems. Ohhh
... DO soak them overnight and use hydrogen peroxide in the water. It won't
be the same quality as recommended by wheatgrasskits, but will be worlds
better than getting disgusted with the whole thing and not doing it !
   In the same vein as " what you can reasonably do "  - if anybody that
reads this is considering it and just can't part with several hundred
dollars for a juicer, try one of the cheaper manual models. They are a pain
compared to the nice electric ones, but they do a great job and are very
useable. If you do this for a while and enjoy the benefits of using
wheatgrass, it will be a whole lot easier to justify the cost of an
electric. Someone out there, and I can't recall if it is wheatgrass kits.com
or not, offers a trade in plan if you buy a manual from them.
    Ohhhh - just re-read your e-mail - in reference to using regular potting
soil - my feelings are that it won't add the nutrients of the soil from
wheatgrasskits and is just a major pain compared to using water only. My
experience was that using soil didn't provide any benefit at all over just
water. The growing experience itself is MUCH easier with no soil. Nutrients
are the only benefit of soil.
    Hope this helps Sarah ! Happy New Year !      Mack

Thanks so much.  That will definitely help.  I've got
around 15lbs of seed, and I need to get growing again!

I buy organic potting soil at Home Depot. Only a few bucks for 40 #.

Ray

I order things from wheat grass kits also.

Hi.  You will need a wheatgrass juicer.  I got my
info. from www.wheatgrasskits.com.  While they are a
website that sells products (I get all my stuff from
them), there is also a place you can ask them
questions via email, and they have always answered
mine.  I love the juice, it makes me feel so much
better.  Unfortunately I'm not very good at keeping my
grass going for more than two weeks at a time.  There
is always something that comes along to sidetrack me!
What soils do different people use on this board?  I
usually just order it, but the shipping is killing me
and I don't know if I should use regular potting soil
from the store.  Thanks, Sarah

We purchased a juicer a couple of months ago and through our interest
in improving our health we have linked our interest to wheat grass.
We are now getting ready to start growing our own and I was hoping
that someone on this site could offer some support in helping us do
so. We were also wondering if there are any other sites that offer
help like this? we would appreciate any help.

Dear Davis: Good morning.

You have passed the testing.  Regards.

I feel it is well built. I'm sure if mistreated the plastic parts could be
broken.
I understand the overheating thing and I'm sure it does destroy some of the
nutrients. It does not overheat the juice. It has a low rpm motor.

I have had a Champion juicer for years but didn't have any luck juicing
wheatgrass.  I spent several months researching other juicers because I
started getting serious about growing my own wheatgrass and really needed a
juicer that could juice wheatgrass.  I finally bought the Samson Ultra.
It's a really fantastic machine and I can HIGHLY recommend it.  I have been
using the juicer for about 21/2 months now and I use it every day.  It does
a great job juicing wheatgrass as well as beets, carrots, squash, celery,
apples, onions potatoes etc...  It is VERY easy to clean and I just love it.
   It is one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Happy juicing.

I have no idea what the cost of out of country shipping would be. Do a search
on Yahoo for Omega 8001. That will give you about 20 places that sell them.
Go to each one and email them as to shipping costs to your location

Ray, thanks for a great post about your experience with some juicers.   I will
be a 60 year old man this January, and just recently started to improve my
health habits by jogging a mile a day.  Also,about a month ago, I started taking
a table spoon full of ground up flax seed every morning. I also eat a handfull
of broccoli sprouts each morning as well.  I am considering adding wheat grass
juiice to my regimen, although I know nothing about any of it's health benefits.
Can any of you suggest some "objective" studies that have been done regarding
the health benefits of wheatgrass juice? It is sometimes difficult to determine
the amount of objectivity in  the articles that are posted on the internet.

I buy my broccoli sprouts in the grocery store, but I would like to be able to
easily grow them at home so they would be fresher.
Do any of you know of any broccoli sprout growing systems that make growing
broccoli sprouts a low labor process?   I imagine that any good, and easy,  home
growing system would cost in excess of $100.   Any thoughts will be appreciated.

   Some including myself have previously asked about juicers. I bought a
   Wheateena on ebay. Was supposed to be a "Red Label" wound up being a "Green
   Label" with a red label on the motor. I think the seller was less than
   honest. Will give you his seller id if you email me off list. Enough of that.
   I didn't like it. It is built like a tank. I don't know how you could ever
   destroy it unless you didn't lube it! It wasn't as easy to clean as my
   Champion. Has several wing nuts to remove and a metal screen to remove. Not
   difficult, but not near as easy to use as the plastic ones.
   The other thing I didn't like was that it has too much liquid escape where
   the pulp comes out. To get maximum juice you have to run it through several
   times. I think that problem has probably been solved with the Red Label
   model.
   I now have a Omega 8001. I bought it at juicers for less for $215, Wheateena
   cost $250 plus shipping. One thing about buying on line as opposed to ebay is
   the shipping is included when buying from retail sites on the internet. Some
   of the sites to tell you to email for the best price. The best regular price
   for the Omega 8001 was 229.95. When asking for the best price found a price
   of $215 shipping included.
   I like the Omega 8001 very much. It is easy to assemble and disassemble. The
   pulp coming out of it is completely dehydrated and no reasom to run it
   through again.

   Hope this helps someone.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for posting. I own a Norwalk press so I know
about juicers that are built like tanks:)!!!

About the omega 8001: Does it heat up while juicing?
Ive had some juicers do this. I make me wonder what is
happening to the enzymes etc when this happens.
How much does it weigh?
In your opinion is it built to last? Quality, juice
yield and ease of use are more important to me than
price. Juicing, especially grass and weed juicing is
something I have done for awhile now and something
I'll be doing for many years to come, so quality is
important.

Thanks,
Art

Some including myself have previously asked about juicers. I bought a
Wheateena on ebay. Was supposed to be a "Red Label" wound up being a "Green
Label" with a red label on the motor. I think the seller was less than
honest. Will give you his seller id if you email me off list. Enough of that.
I didn't like it. It is built like a tank. I don't know how you could ever
destroy it unless you didn't lube it! It wasn't as easy to clean as my
Champion. Has several wing nuts to remove and a metal screen to remove. Not
difficult, but not near as easy to use as the plastic ones.
The other thing I didn't like was that it has too much liquid escape where
the pulp comes out. To get maximum juice you have to run it through several
times. I think that problem has probably been solved with the Red Label
model.
I now have a Omega 8001. I bought it at juicers for less for $215, Wheateena
cost $250 plus shipping. One thing about buying on line as opposed to ebay is
the shipping is included when buying from retail sites on the internet. Some
of the sites to tell you to email for the best price. The best regular price
for the Omega 8001 was 229.95. When asking for the best price found a price
of $215 shipping included.
I like the Omega 8001 very much. It is easy to assemble and disassemble. The
pulp coming out of it is completely dehydrated and no reasom to run it
through again.

Hope this helps someone.
Any questions, don't hesitate to email me.

Hello Everyone,

I currently have several juicers ( juice man, Norwalk press and a hand
operating grass juicer from Chec Republic). The juiceman doesnt do
whaetgrass. The Norwalk does wheatgrass but is a major hassle to
operate, clean etc and it doesnt really do that great a job on grass
though it is fantastic in term of yield and quality for everything
else.

The hand juicer does an ok job of juicing but is leaky and slow.

Im looking for a high quality grass juicer that will be making between
a quart and a half gallon of grass and weeed juice a day. Keeping this
in mind would a professional juice bar quality juicer be what I need?

Thanks,
Art

To Mack the knife or anyone:
      Do you have a phone number to order products from wheatgrasskits.
They take credit cards, but I prefer to call and order over the phone.
Looks like top quality soil and mineral are critical for growing
wheatgrass.

Hello Everyone,

Im new to this list but have been using Grass and weed Juices off and
on for a number of years. My question to the group is:

Does anyone know of a source for organice soil? The nurseries in my
area dont deal deal in organic soil or even worm castings.

If anyone here has a source that will ship please post.

Namaste,
Art

Ray, the ideal juicer for me is the Back to Basics Manual wheatgrass
juicer because it is so fast to use.  The electric juicers typically
take more set-up time and clean-up time.  However, if you don't have
a juicer that will juice regular fruits and veggies-- you should look
at getting a dual purpose electric such as the Omega 8001, or any of
the Sampson juicers that do wheatgrass.  If you find a juicer you
like, call me at 801-787-6443, I can probably get you a good price.
Let me know the lowest price you have found and I will try to beat
it.

Hello!

I have been juicing for a few years.  I started with a Champion juicer but
when I started juicing wheatgrass it wouldn't work.  I then bought a manual
juicer and used that for awhile, then it got a little tedious.  In the last
month I have purchased the Samson Ultra.  I am extremely pleased with this
purchase, this juicer is everything promised and more.  It juices wheatgrass
great, and all the hard vegetables too.  I can highly recommend this juicer.
   I researched all the other juicers at length before I made this
investment.  I found the best price at  http://www.livingright.com/

Happy juicing!

Hi.  I'm new too.  I'm not sure what you mean by
non-GMO, but I got my set-up kit and continue to get
supplies from www.wheatgrasskits.com.  I've been
really happy with their products and customer service,
not to mention their prices ( I just bought 25 pounds
of wheatgrass seed for just under $15.00).

Hi,
Yes, you can grow it year 'round either indoors or in a greenhouse.
Wheatgrass doesn't take that long to be ready to use so you could get several
cuttings now before the end of summer too.  If you grow it indoors you need
to make sure you have good circulation or mold could be a problem.
