Can this bean use for sprouting? Have anyone try? Curious about how good germination. Thanks,

That's a great question. Unfortunately, I have no idea. Now I'm going to have to try and see if they do. Flower pot, here I come.

Had a batch of beans soaking in water and left them in too long and most of the beans sprouted. Had them soaking to make tofu

Have not tried sprouting, but website said YES. http://fairviewfarms.com/display.asp?id=38&sra;=1Best to direct your question to the Laura Soybeans website, contact them for suggestions. http://fairviewfarms.com/

I tried just for fun. They did work, but idk how to make the sprout bigger and thicker like those in the grocery store. My mom planted them in the backyard as well and they were great!

I am not sure. I use this primarily for bean sprouts. The smaller seeds I usually sprout in a jar or tub so they have room to grow upwards. It seems to me the smaller seeds might get too entangled in the fabric. For a great source of info (& product) check out Sprout People online, lots of great advice on technique & how to grow what, where. . . even instructional videos.

I would send this question to The Sprout House. They have a question and answer page and are extremely helpful. I only use these seeds to grow sprouts in my kitchen in jars. You can buy broccoli seeds much cheaper than this at any garden store. I wouldn't use them in a garden. If for no other reason than cost.

I'm friends with an avid gardener; he's had different experiences; sometimes, stored hybrid seeds germinate, sometimes not-usually not-there are somany variables with the climate you live in. Contact the company for these organic seeds -I wonder if they'd be more potent; sometimes Ifigure whatever the hybrid seeds are treated with might affect their longevity. Good luck. :)

I do not use this in the garden as I have billions of earthworms naturally. I use castings as part of my "recipe" for potting soil mix and germination mix. It is suggested to use 1/3 castings in your mix, and so far that has worked really well for me. My plants love it and I have not seen any sign of burn or nitrogen flash-growth. It has been especially helpful with germinating seeds because it has a natural anti-fungal property that helps baby sprouts, something I have always struggled with in my greenhouse. I suppose, if you wanted to put it in your garden, say in raised beds, I would go with 1/4 to 1/3 of whatever mix you're using.

Yes, I have. All of the really hot peppers are not easy to germinate or to grow. I had to use sterile seed starter soil with no fertilizer additives. I also used a regular Rx heating pad to warm the soil and keep it warm. Soil should be kept just barely moist. It can take up to 3 weeks for the seeds to sprout then keep your eye on them. You'll get a beautiful plant. Another thing to be aware of is the hotter pepper plants do not like direct sunlight something I was not aware of initially. Some of the "Pepper" freak sites will give you very specific instructions on how to get going well...good luck, it's not easy but it's worth it.

No, it will not germinate seeds. it is used to root cuttings from existing plants.

SnowyJay, have you used this for herbs, nuts, seeds, dried dandelion root, etc? If not, what did you end up buying? I am interested in purchasing ONE mill - mostly used for nut, seed, dry roots.

Yes, these make bean sprouts. On the internet you can find directions. The most useful one says you may have to rinse them every 4 hours. It is tedious but there are never any sprouts in my grocery stores any more. Good luck.

These are great for starting seeds. They have no nutrients at all. But make sure you have a real good root system before you transplant the plant in the ground. I didn't do this and my plants died. Plus keep them moist also they dry out quickly I set mine in a pan of water. Your seeds will start sprouting in less 5 days I was amazed. This is so worth the money.

I had a batch that sprouted. I left them soaking for too long. This was almost a year ago. I got these to make tofu. I am just amateur in making tofu but I can say I haven't had any problems using these beans for this purpose.

All the sprouts I have tried have worked. There is an insert for tiny seeds that I have not used yet. I have bought mixed seeds and all have sprouted.

Yes, that is what I use it for. I soak the peas for awhile and then roll them in the Innoculant. The nitrogen boost helps with germination.

I have sprouted it but not for wheat grass. It definitely sprouts and fairly quickly. Just be careful to keep it moist but not too moist and relatively cool. Good luck.

No. To the best of my knowledge the Vanilla plant can only be reproduced from cuttings of the plant itself and not through the actual bean. The beans are very sensitive and wont germinate unless they are in a certain region. As far as flavor goes, these vanilla beans were very rich and tasty when they arrived and will kick up the flavor of any dessert you can imagine!

Update: My husband soaked 10 of the seeds overnight and then placed them in between several layers of moist paper towel. 9 out of 10 have sprouted this morning and the 10th looks like it might also sprout, so he says 'YES' these seeds seem to be viable for sprouting and/or planting.

I have had a very good experience with Laura Soybeans however, I purchase mine directly from the Laura Soybean website rather than here at amazon. They're much fresher and their website sells different beans for different uses. Such as: soymilk, tofu, sprouting, etc... And you can communicate directly with the grower on the website instead of buying thru a 3rd party seller that may or may not know how to answer your questions or how long his stock has been sitting on the shelf. The Laura Soybean Co. gives great & prompt service & their soybeans are the freshest I've ever encountered. I highly recommend buying them directly from the site. Hope this is helpful.
