How to grow wheatgrass, barleygrass, and/or the greens, buckwheat and sunflower:
Obtain some 10 by 20 by 2-inch trays (seedling flats) with holes in the bottom.

1. Fill with 1 inch of organic compost or rich soil.
2. Soak 2 cups wheat, barley, buckwheat, or sunflower for 6 to 8 hours.
3. Spread evenly on top of the soil.
4. Water thoroughly until the water drips from the holes in the bottom of the tray.
5. Cover with 3 layers of thick paper towels (or newspaper).
6. Water the towels until thoroughly wet.
7. Keep the towels wet until the grass is one inch tall.
8. Uncover and water once per day until the water drips from the bottom of the tray.
9. Harvest when the grass is 6 to 7 inches tall.
10. Juice in a special electric juicer designed for wheatgrass, or juice with a stainless steel manual juicer, or
for a BLENDER: chop the grass into about 1/4"-1/2" pieces. Put in blender. Add water, enough to liquify. Or if you want it to taste good, add pineapple juice (canned works great). Blend for about 30-60 seconds. Over blending oxidizes it, and takes down the nutritional value. Strain through a cheese cloth, or corner of a clean pillow case works fine.
Start out by drinking one ounce per day. Gradually build to 2 ounces per day, or more if desired. Wheatgrass juice and barleygrass juice are very detoxifying and the body must gradually be acclimated to it.
