When it comes to growing wheatgrass, there are only a few basic supplies you need to grow high quality wheatgrass.  Here is a list of essential wheatgrass supplies that you will need to grow wheatgrass successfully.

Essential Wheatgrass Supplies #1 – High Quality Organic Wheat Grass Seeds.  Wheatgrass grows from wheat grass “berries” and is actually responsible for being behind whole wheat flour.  Organic hard red wheat berries that haven’t been treated with chemicals are the best wheat berries to use for growing wheatgrass.  Health food stores, natural food co-ops and online are the best places where you can buy high quality certified organic hard red wheat grass berries.  Click here to buy certified organic wheat grass seeds.

Essential Wheatgrass Supplies #2 – A Wheatgrass Tray or Trays.  Whether you are growing wheatgrass hydroponically or in soil you will need a tray.  Wheatgrass will grow in only an inch of soil so you don’t need a work with a lot of dirt.  You can use just about anything that will hold an inch of soil to grow wheatgrass in.  Recommended wheat grass trays are the typical thick rigid plastic trays that you find in garden centers.  You can also use an old baking tray that you aren’t using.  Cardboard is not recommended as it will fall apart after a few watering sessions Click here to buy a wheatgrass tray or trays.

If you are thinking of growing your wheatgrass hydroponically, without soil, a coconut fiber mat is a good replacement for soil.  The wheatgrass roots will bury themselves into the coconut fiber and absorb moisture trapped underneath the sheet preventing the roots from drying out.  The wheatgrass will cling onto the fiber and be able to grow tall and straight.  Click here to buy a coconut fiber mat.

Essential Wheatgrass Supplies #3 – Organic Soil.  If you are not growing your wheatgrass hydroponically you need a good high quality organic soil mixture for your wheatgrass.  50% organic compost or potting soil and 50% peat moss is ideal.  Mix it thoroughly, breaking up clumps and add a couple of teaspoons of rock dust, Azomite, dolomite or greensand per tray for added nutrients.  It is best not to use outdoor garden soil because of the bugs and stray weed seeds.

Essential Wheatgrass Supplies #4 – Water.  High quality spring water is the best water to use.  If your water is heavily chlorinated or just regular tap water, use a filter.

Other handy wheatgrass supplies are a mister bottle and a watering can with a sprinkler head.  Of course you will also need a high quality wheatgrass juicer, unless you’re merely chewing the grass to get the juice and spitting out the indigestible fiber.  Click here to buy a wheatgrass juicer.

This may all be overwhemling at first, but once you get all the basics, you will only need to continue to buy high quality organic wheat grass seeds.  Good luck.
