Here's my new [well...used...Ebay -- these things are frackin expensive! saved $70 big ones] automatic sprouter.

I have NO idea what I am doing.

First seed I tried were sesame seeds. I finally figured out that the reason they weren't sprouting was because they were hulled and I needed to use un-hulled seeds.

Now I am trying out barley. It's day 3, or something, and they have like 1/2 inch tails. So something is happening! It's exciting and I have no life!

The instructions that came with this sprouter were limited, and the info online hit and miss.

Yesterday I decided to add the extra tray on top of each 'bin', which places them on top of the existing seeds. I read that I was supposed to do it that way. Then today I took one out of one of the bins and left the other in the other one. I'm afraid the little tails will be squished between the trays.

Like I said. I have no idea what I'm doing.........
