BASIC SPROUTING EQUIPMENT (Vegetable Gardening)

All you need to sprout seeds is a jar, some cheesecloth, plastic mesh, or plastic screen to cover the jar, and a rubber band to hold it in place. But you can also sprout seeds on a tray, on damp towels, in a clay flowerpot saucer, or in a thin layer of soil. You may also want to try the ready-made sprouters that are available in large department stores and health food stores. For example, you can buy mesh trays or sprouting lids made of plastic mesh that fit on standard one-quart canning jars. It’s a good idea to try various methods to find ones that are most convenient and work best for you.
