| | | | Evert-Fresh (Green) Refrigerator Bags
10 per "box"
Bags are 6" x 15" x 4"
Bags are re-usable. Note: if there was any better picture to show you this product, we would have it. This picture is of the bag the bags come in. Silly - just like the name of the product =;-) | Bags for storing your crop
after harvest.
| These bags are amazing! We have tested sprouts and veges. We've had Cilantro in one of these bags for a month! Plastic bags will still do for storing your sprouts, but if you want the best - for every sprout, fruit and vegetable - try these! You know us, we don't sell stuff just to sell it - these really are awesome. The manufacturer states that their bags extend shelf life of veges, fruits and flowers, from 3-10 times. They have been in business since 1988 and their product is widely reviewed (positively), and like we said above - our personal experience is great, so we think it is a good bet you'll be happy with them.
The manufacturer says: Most fruit, vegetables and flowers release ethylene gas as they ripen. Exposure of the produce to these gasses accelerates ripening and deterioration. The Evert-Fresh bag absorbs and removes these gases.
Unlike most plastic bags, Evert-fresh Bags breathe, so other damaging gases such as carbon dioxide and ammonia can escape. These are made of a mineral found in remote caves in Japan. |
| Baby Blanket Soilless Planting Medium for
Grass & Greens | | | FINALLY! After years of promises we now have soilless planting mediums! Baby Blanket is a thin (1/8 inch) pad that holds water very well and easy to handle. Combined with Kelpman liquid kelp fertilizer you can grow Micro-Greens without the mess of soil. Baby Blanket is also a wonderful way to grow Grass and Greens - though you should consider Vermiculite for the bigger seeds too. Baby Blanket is organic, biodegradable and cuts easily to size to fit any container or tray. Buying it by the Linear Foot is the best deal, of course. This is a disposable medium. Don't try to use it again - just cut another piece or use a new pad for your next crop. |
| Earthworm Castings | | | Earthworm Castings are a necessary ingredient in the growing of Sunflower Greens. They offer more nitrogen to the growing plants which dramatically improves the quality of the crop - the Sunnys grow more rapidly, more evenly and shed their hulls more readily. Use no more than 30% worm castings in your soil or the high nitrogen content will "burn" your plants. |
| Gift Certificate | | Choose any amount and send it to anyone anywhere. We can send it via postal mail or E-mail it. Just tell us who the Gift Certificate is for and their address or eddress. If you want us to include a Gift Card just include the text and we'll do that too (it's free). We don't charge for shipping Gift Certificates. |
| Pocket Magnifying Glass Variable Strength - 10x Maximum magnification | | | It is SO MUCH FUN to see sprouts close up! We include this magnifier in our Kid's Sprout Exploration Kit, but it is fun for curious adults too. We always have one with us because we like to investigate a lot of things in our daily lives - not just sprouts. |
| Kelpman
Liquid Kelp Ferilizer Formerly called
Sea Spray
Pint (concentrate) | | | A wonderful organic fertilizer from the folks who make Baby Blanket soilless planting medium, Kelpman gives your Grass, Greens and Micro-Greens everything they need to grow fast and strong - and delicious. This is a concentrate. Dilute with water and spray (if you need a sprayer, they are listed directly below) it on your plants, soak Baby Blanket or other soilless medium and even soak your seeds in it! Each pint (16 fluid ounces) makes up to 25 gallons! |

NEW PRODUCT!De-Huller
Sprout & Salad Spinner made by OXO
Good Grips
Little Salad & Herb Spinner | 8 inches in diameter, 5 inches tall. Capacity = 2 Quarts | This is a great sprout tool!
A device to help you De-Hull and dry your sprouts.
We have promised this for years, and finally we have delivered. This is an extremely well made salad spinner by OXO. We have used the big version in our house for many years, but this one is perfect for a crop of sprouts. The idea is to fill the container with water, push the hulls out and then spin the sprouts dry. You will no longer have to wait for 12 hours after your final rinse/drain cycle to refrigerate. This is intended for Leafy and Brassica Sprouts as well as Greens, but will work with most sprouts and Micro-Greens.
Here are De-Hulling instructions. |
| Spray Bottle Pint | | | Your basic spray bottle with a duck-like sprayer that screws on to a plastic bottle. These aren't especially durable, but they are inexpensive and they'll probably last a good long time if you're a casual grower - as you're probably sick of reading; we were professional sproutpeople for over 10 years, so we demand a lot from our eqipment, hence our concept of durable is a bit skewed - like us =;-}We offer these as a convenience - you can buy one locally - often for less, any garden supplier should have them. |
| Sproutpeople's First Recipe Book | | | Our first collection (originally published in 1999, and updated with a few additions in 2005) of recipes includes a wide range (as wide a range as 30 recipes allows) of dishes made with raw and cooked sprouts. More of a booklet than a book, but full of tasty ideas! All of the recipes can be found (free) in our Recipe Center too. |

| | | | | Vermiculite
Soilless Planting Medium | | | *Vermiculite weight will vary depending on its moisture content. We will send you 6-7 Pints which is enough for two "full tray" crops. In a perfect world those 6-7 pints will weigh close to one pound. | It took us almost a decade to find an alternative to soil (I'm a very stubborn sproutguy =;-) and now we have two alternatives! A LOT depends on the size of the seeds you are planting - small seeds will do well with Baby Blanket, but bigger seeds will benefit from Vermiculite. We have grown several trays of grass and all of them taste sweeter and grow fuller blades as compared to Baby Blanket. Baby Blanket is still the cleanest medium and we love it, but to be honest - Vermiculite works better for us. Try them both and decide for yourself! One other thing: Vermiculite holds liqiud so well that it keeps the grass growing after you cut it, making a 2nd cutting easier than ever. An excellent soilless planting medium, vermiculite is a mined mineral that is treated with heat which causes it to expand (Learn about Vermiculite). It resembles mica. It is clean, odorless, mold resistant and sterile, and has an almost neutral PH. Vermiculite is on the list of approved planting mediums - in the National Organic Standards. Vermiculite works very very well with liquid fertilizers (like Kelpman) due to it's amazing moisture retention and because it provides a steady release of any added fertilizers. What's more, vermiculite contributes potassium, magnesium and a number of trace elements! Vermiculite is extremely lightweight - one pound equals as much as 14 cups! We use 6 cups (3 pints) for an 11 x 22 inch tray of grass, so each unit/pound is more than enough for 2 full tray crops or 4 half-tray (11 x 11 inch) crops. |

(877/SPROUTS)The very best way to contact us is through E-mail =:-) We have been an internet only business since 2001. We are not a big corporation. We are but 2 people, mom n' pop. We decided after years of juggling our family's (kids, dogs, cats and even our own) needs, and the needs of Sproutpeople, that we had to make more time for our kids, so we stopped talking on the phone. All calls go to voice mail and have since 2001. We are very fast to fill orders and answer e-mail, and though we wish we could make the time to talk, we just can't seem to get more minutes into a each hour. We are many years older than when we started and our days are too short and made up of too few hours to do everything. This limitation in our business has not kept us from pleasing our customers, nor from growing (as we have every year since 1993). We do what we do as well as we can, and we think we do it very well indeed. We appreciate your business more than we can say. We ask that you use the phone for emergencies only and that you search our site for answers before e-mailing us. This site is bigger than any 4 sprout books put together, it is always available and it is free, and we know that almost all questions are answered here. Thanks again for your patronage and your many kind words. Sproutpeople family |
