Before we get on with learning how to grow wheatgrass at home, there are a couple of items that need to be obtained so that we can get on with it.

All of these items should already be available to you since every house has most of them.
So, how to grow wheatgrass at home? The short answer is: easily. Follow these next few tips and youll be growing it in no time, making the juice for your and your familys pleasure and wellbeing.
When everything is ready and the tools are in place, we can begin by preparing the berries.
Berries should be rinsed thoroughly in cold water and then left for half a day in a cup filled with water.
Next thing to do is to prepare the tray. This should be done by lining the bottom of the tray with paper towels. This prevents little roots spreading outside of the tray.
When the tray is ready, add the fertile soil, which was previously mixed with the fertilizer, to the tray but bear in mind that you shouldnt fill the tray t the top but only to about an inch of depth.
Now, take your soaked berries and spread them evenly over the surface of the topsoil making sure they arent too close since too dense planting prevents the air circulation between the stems and sets the stage for the onset of molds which can cause certain health problems.
Take some soil and lightly sprinkle over the berries. Sprinkle some water over it and cover with newspapers or any other kind that does the job of making a shade, since berries at this stage dont favor sunlight and it can even stun their growth. The other reason is that birds consider the berries quite a treat.
Leave it lie that for 24 hours and come back to sprinkle some more water and wrap it in the paper again.
This process is to be done until you spot little green leaves sprouting in which case you will remove the paper cover.
The watering should be done regularly, twice a day, in the morning and late in the evening. If you hate the idea of fighting molds, dont overwater. Molds thrive in humid conditions so use water sparingly.
You have just learned how to grow wheatgrass at home. So enjoy it and the health benefits it provides.
