can this be used to grow wheatgrass?

Yes it can, I grow both fodder and wheat sprouts for our chickens. And yes we like to sample it and enjoy it.

Yes, I have used Great River organic wheat grass seeds for several months with great success. After washing the seeds, I soak the seeds with hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes; soak for 10 hours , then wash again and soak again for another 10 hours, wash and drain . I use cococoir for planting

I don't see why not. I bought some organic wheat (not this) and used it for grass seed. I was not about to put treated seed on my lawn. It grew beautifully.

Yes it can be goo for your lawn.dont add a bunch,but add a nice layer where your planting a hardy seed into,or established grass,or, brew many gallons of an enrichment tea and water your lawn that way.be a little sparring it can burn if your not careful.Heres to green growing.*thumbs up*

I don't see why not. It's less hard than grains. It's a good thought... I was thinking of dehydrating home made dog food, and it would surely save space to grind it too! This handles some pretty tough whole wheat berries. I have run mine over an hour with the motor attachment. I opted for this one because I can also hand grind when the power is out. I make breads on the woodstove, which are great. Even power is on I do it! Make sure you realize only this deluxe can take the motor...I know that's not what you asked about...but the motor is very worth it! My only one little issue with this grinder for wheat....which is no big deal... but it may also be true with veggies...sometimes when you are near the end of what's in the hopper, sometimes (with motor OFF please!) need to push the stuff down a little more. Seems the weight of more stuff in the hopper does the pushing. Not an issue with the hand grinding so much, but could be. I poke the stuff down with a skewer and it works again for the duration of what's left in it. Very sturdy, very good, I use it on the finest setting, good fine powder comes out.

It is perfect for that. You will be shocked when you see how much juice it gets from wheatgrass!

When I have juiced wheatgrass, I had to push it through over multiple passes to get the juice fully extracted. Yes, it is possible, but you do want to run the wheatgrass through a few times.

About 1.5 cups is good. We used 2.0 cups and the grass was very thick. If there is no air movement a white mold begins to grow. It is not a dangerous mold, its just common to growing wheat grass. If you place a small fan blowing on it and use 1.5 cups you should have very little trouble with the mold. Also get two kinds of trays, one with drain holes and one without.Grow the grass in the ones with the drain holes and place that try inside the one without the drain holes. Use 1 by 1 pieces of wood to raised the inner tray up to keep air circulating. Good luck, it's easy

I have tried juicing wheatgrass with this juicer, however I feel it seems to be a bit wasteful compared to a juicer specifically for wheatgrass.

Yes. Probably quite well! Make sure the material you put inside is light. This is a light duty spreader. My first one broke. Be careful to not force the handle. Mine was replaced and I intend to use for grass seed. We'll see

I used it to grow wheatgrass for juicing where I drank the juice and composted the fibrous part so am not sure how fibrous it would be to eat. I've never heard of putting wheatgrass on a sandwich... Are you thinking of alfalfa sprouts maybe? That's what restaurants usually put on sandwiches and salads.

Yes you can use it to seed. I have used mine a couple of times to spread grass seed at a friends house. Just really pay attention to your controls because if not careful it will drain out too quickly. Start at the closed setting and slowly open the shoot to the desired setting. Some grass seeds are smaller than others. Hope this helps.

Boy, I really dont think so, but check with sawgrass.com They support the product and can answer any questions.

i don't see why not. i planted it in nw wyoming. the temperatures here get down below freezing, limited rain fall and the soil is poor. it came up within 10 days. and has already started coming back although the temperatures are still low. it is the only grass seed i have had any luck with.

I wish I could answer for you. Sorry. We haven't tried the wheatgrass. From everything I've read about extractors, the mechanisms in this style (masticating) are ideal for extracting wheatgrass without heating or destroying enzymes, but I've not tried it personally.

I would think it would sprout the wheat, but does not grow the greens very well, I would suspect the tray would be better, it has a growing medium for the roots.

I have not put wheat grass into it yet. I can say this though as I use this juicer more the more I am disappointed in how is handles greens (i.e. kale, spinach, parsley). There are places inside the "bowl" where the fibers get stuck, making cleaning a chore.

This is wheat. If you let it grow unchecked then you'll have a wheat field outside your door. Not necessarily a bad thing but it may not be what you wanted. Look at ornamental grasses at your local garden center instead for something better suited to your needs.

yes, Wheatgrass is great for cats. It is the only thing I give my 10 year old cat.
