How Do I Grow Wheatgrass?
1. Purchase a wheat grass juicer and a home wheat grass growing kit. We offer them at the WheatgrassHome store.
2. Once your wheat grass growing kit and wheat grass juicer arrive soak 1 cup (125g) of organic wheat grass seed (a.k.a. wheat berry) for 8-12 hours.
3. Drain seeds and then rinse thoroughly with cold running water three or four times until water runs clear.
4. Place growing compost in tray to even depth of 1-1.5 inches (25-40mm).
5. Distribute sprouted seeds evenly over the soil making sure the seeds aren't smothered by each other but close enough together that you get a good yield of grass.
6. Soak seeds and soil thoroughly with water (ideally with a small watering can) until they begin to sprout.
7. Leave in a dark, shady place (cover with a dark top or place in a dark cupboard) at room temperature 68-86F (20-30ºC) for 2-3 days.
8. Then move into a bright area avoiding direct sunlight (a windowsill is a good place).
9. It is important to keep wheat grass well watered at all times, but not waterlogged.
10. If mold does form on the soil, just harvest above the mold and wash well.
11. Harvest with scissors when wheat grass reaches 6-10inches (7-10 days).

The manual wheatgrass juicers and the electric wheatgrass juicers in the WheatgrassHome Store were designed to extract the most juice from each of your harvests.

I am looking to to buying a wheatgrass kit and juicer. I am curious, once you plant the wheatgrass and cut and juice it, do you have to replant more seeds or will the original grass continue to grow and continue to be able to be cut and juiced? Or are the seeds a one time use thing? Thank you.
Answer: You will always get at least one great harvest from a planting and sometimes 2 harvests. After the harvest(s), the soil will need to be removed from the planting tray (hopefully to a compost pile) and you would need to start the growing process again with more seeds. The reason for this is that all of the nutrients in the soil will be already absorbed at that point and fresh soil (full of nutrients) will need to be added to grow dark green wheatgrass once again.
Some
people enjoy growing wheatgrass without soil by using a an automatic
sprouter like the Easy Green Sprouter or the Sproutman Sprouter. Also
remember that once your cut your wheatgrass try and juice it and drink
it within 5 minutes to enjoy all of it's nutritional benefits. The live
enzymes begin to die off after a few minutes.
