HELLO THERE !

                WHEATGRASS IS SO EASY TO GROW AND ITS SUPER COOL TO LOOK AT. THE GRASS LOOKS PRETTY, FEELS SOFT AND WHEN YOU GROW IT IN SMALL CONTAINERS IT WILL BE THE BEST PLACEHOLDERS FOR DINNER PARTY. 


USES OF WHEATGRASS JUICE :
             
                  ITS THE BEST SOURCE OF LIVING CHLOROPHYLL
                  ACTS AS AN EFFECTIVE HEALER
                  SLOWS DOWN THE PROCESS OF AGING
                  ACTS AS AN ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENT
                  NEUTRALIZES TOXINS IN OUR BODY 
                  WASHES DRUG DEPOSITS FROM OUR BODY AND SO ON ....

COME ON LETS START OUR DIY... *WOOHOO*


YOU WILL NEED
                   
                  WHEAT GRAINS
                  A SMALL PLASTIC CONTAINER
                  TAP WATER
                  A PIECE OF CLOTH
                  POTTING SOIL

TAKE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF WHEAT GRAINS IN A PLASTIC CONTAINER.

SOAK THE WHEAT IN TWICE THE AMOUNT OF WATER AND LEAVE IT FOR ABOUT 12 HOURS OR MAXIMUM 24 HOURS

AFTER 12 OR 24 HOURS YOU WILL SEE THAT THE WHEAT GRAINS THAT YOU HAVE SOAKED BEFORE HAD EXPANDED IN SIZE. JUST DRAIN THE WATER RINSE IT ONCE AND DRAIN THE WATER AGAIN. TAKE A PIECE OF CLOTH AND PUT ALL THE SOAKED WHEAT GRAIN IN IT.

    
              
WRAP IT UP AND PLACE IT IN THE SAME CONTAINER AGAIN. LEAVE IT FOR 24 HOURS (SPRAY WATER AT REGULAR INTERVALS OF TIME ). AFTER 24 HOURS YOU WILL SEE THE SOAKED WHEAT HAS NOW TURNED INTO A SPROUTED WHEAT.THEN TAKE ANOTHER SMALL CONTAINER AND FILL THE CONTAINER WITH SOIL.SPRAY LITTLE AMOUNT OF WATER (MAKE SURE THE SOIL SHOULD BE WET AND NOT TO BE FILLED WITH WATER). TAKE YOUR SPROUTED WHEAT AND SCATTER THEM OVER THE DAMP SOIL.

SPRINKLE SOME DRY SOIL OVER IT AND COVER THE CONTAINER WITH A PIECE OF CLOTH AND DAMPEN THE CLOTH FROM  THE TOP. LEAVE IT ALONE AND CHECK IT OUT ON THE NEXT DAY. FOR NEXT TWO DAYS SPRAY SOME WATER TO DAMPEN THE CLOTH AND MAKE SURE THAT THE WET CLOTH STAYS AT THE TOP OF THE CONTAINER.

    



BY THE THIRD DAY YOU WILL START TO SEE TINY BLADES OF WHITE AND GREEN GRASS GROWING OUT OF THE SOIL. AFTER THIS YOU CAN REMOVE THE CLOTH AND DAMPEN THE SOIL DIRECTLY. YOU WILL SEE THE WHEATGRASS GROWING LONGER EACH DAY. WATER THE WHEAT GRASS ONCE A DAY AND TWICE A DAY DURING SUMMERS. IF IT REACHES 6 TO 7 INCHES ITS READY TO HARVEST.

        
I MADE THIS IN DIFFERENT COLOR CONTAINERS IN ORDER TO DECORATE MY ROOM.
YOU CAN ALSO SPREAD MORE AMOUNT OF WHEAT GRAINS IN A SINGLE CONTAINER IN ORDER TO GET DENSE WHEATGRASS. DO NOT MISS TO TRY IT OUT.

TILL NEXT TIME, TAKE CARE..
