In the old days - before packaging sprouts became necessary and we were a completely bulk operation, we grew our sprouts outside when the Wisconsin weather permitted. Here Gil rinses the weeks wholesale and market crop. That watering can was our water delivery system in those days. The location, near our very deep (in excess of 400 feet) well was perfectly shady and though the lack of control in growing outside posed many problems, it also provided many great additions - for example - rain would do our watering for us on occasion, air circulation was perfect and it was a beautiful spot to grow plants in.
