some natural light (avoid
direct sunlight) can produce
food! We have been

This sprouter will: soak,
rinse, mist, oxygenate and
drain through the full seed
to sprout growth cycle. It
can hold 5 cartridge-style
sprouting trays (supplied)
320mm x 60, which allows for
tasty and nutritious sprouts
throughout the week. Or use
the large tray (390mm x 330)
for a bigger quantity of
grasses (wheat, oat,
barley).
No soil is required so
growing and harvesting
sprouts and micro greens is
super easy. No pre-soaking
of seed is necessary, so you
get your sprouts sooner
(15-40% quicker). The 5L
reservoir holds enough water
for 2 days. Water is misted
onto the seed or young
sprouts at regular intervals
by using the timer supplied.
This misting helps to avoid
mould and rotting, produces
a faster crop and supplies
abundant amounts of oxygen
to the vibrantly growing
sprouts. Supplied with a 1m
drainage tube the water is
used only once ensuring a
clean supply of water is
used for each misting cycle.
The unit is self-cleaning
with the addition of bleach
or hydrogen peroxide.
