1. Soaking/Rinsing
Due to the unique irrigation system developed for the BioSnacky Mini Greenhouse, seeds do not require soaking prior to sowing. Rinse lid, seed trays, water tray and desired seeds thoroughly under cold running water.
2. Sowing
Place the required amount of seeds on each seed tray with a tablespoon. Do not exceed the recommended amount or the growth of you seeds will be affected. When sowing very small seeds (alfalfa, fenugreek) place a piece of damp fleece paper in the seed tray first. Fleece paper is not required for large seeds (mung bean, lentil, wheat). You can either germinate seeds in just one tray or in several trays simultaneously. In order to be able to harvest a fresh crop of shoots every day, we recommend staggered sowing of seeds.
3. Watering
First water – Place the entire unit including the lid under running lukewarm water. Fill the top seed tray with water. As a result of the way the BioSnacky Mini Greenhouse has been designed, each seed tray will automatically be watered one after the other. Any surplus water will be collected in the water tray. Empty the water tray as soon as the water has drained through the Sprouter. This surplus water is ideal for use on indoor plants. As each tray empties check that the seeds are evenly spread in the tray.
Subsequent Watering – Each seed type has different watering requirements. Please water with great care before the seeds have put out roots. Ensure seeds that have not yet germinated are thoroughly rinsed.
4. Placement
Place your closed Mini Greenhouse in a well lit spot, not in direct sunlight, at room temperature (18-22°C).
5. Growing
Once seeds have germinated, the bottom of each seed tray needs only to be damp. Seeds should not lie in water. Empty the water tray as soon as the water has drained through the Sprouter. After the seeds have developed a significant filmy coating they need only be sprayed (misted) with fresh water. Depending on the seeds watering requirements, the water tray can either be kept empty or half full of fresh water. However this water MUST be changed every day.
6. Harvesting
Your live shoots and sprouts are ready for harvesting within 2-5 days; herbage plants – like wheatgrass – will be ready in 6-8 days

After harvesting, clean your Mini Greenhouse thoroughly with a mixture of water and vinegar and allow to dry naturally. The entire unit is dishwasher safe – top shelf only (up to 85°C).
