My sprouter

Since I have only 1 budgie, I don't need big costly sprouting kits. I only need to sprout a little at a time, so I used items I had to come up with a solution. I went through a few trials and errors until I got what I am using now.

Materials:
- The Lid portion of the Breyer's YoCrunch Yogurt. The section the candy is kept.
- Plastic mesh cut into a circle to fit inside the lid above. Normal grid is all you need and will keep small budgie seeds inside the container. You can probably use the wider mesh if you want more drainage for bigger items.
- Seeds, legumes, or grains you want to sprout. Larger beans will not fit and only small quantity does fit in this set-up.
- GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract) **NOTE: I no longer use GSE anymore. I use a little ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) now.**

To make sprouts I just place the seeds I want to sprout in the lid then cover with the mesh. I hold the mesh down while rinsing (pour water in and pour it back out). When clean, I leave enough water to emerge the seeds and add a drop of GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract) for soaking. Then go about normal sprouting procedures.

The plus side is, you can use the bottom part of the yogurt cup as pots for growing wheatgrass or other plants. You can even use it with the lid for a mini green house. Nifty.
