How well does it grow wheat grass?

I haven't tried to grow wheatgrass, but I've successfully sprouted dozens of other seeds, virtually effortlessly! I would say for wheatgrass, though, you may be better off with a tray & some soil or other growing medium.

I don't care for it because it's hard to do all the rinsing necessary when growing sprouts.

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.

Yes, we had an area that was difficult to grow grass so we bought it especially for there. It was during the summer but our lawn is irrigated so I thought it would do well. I was not very impressed.

I have not tried wheatgrass in it. From everything I've read about juicers, the masticating kind are best for grasses and greens.

Once established, it will depend on a variety of factors. I've never let it grow too long, so I can't say how long it will grow, but I mow once a week. However, I water a few times a week and fertilize often. As with any grass, those factors, along with others, I'm sure, will determine how fast the grass will grow. I will say this, however, this particular brand put Patchmaster to shame!

It is mostly Rye grass. It grew good at first but it starting turning brown the hotter it got.

it does, a lot less than what i expected btw.. but i guess that is common with wheatgrass, the problem is the cleaning up after juicing

We live in northern Pennsylvania, zone 5, and it did extremely well for us. I don't know the extremes of the zones for good growth but as I said it did very well here.

it works amazingly well for me. I live in the pacific northwest and believe I have Kentucky blue grass here as well.

I believe so. If you haven't tried wheat grass before, understand that it's REALLY STRONG tasting. I ended-up giving my canister away to someone else.

Short answer: Yes. You might want to see if wheat is processed with the same equipment.

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

New one is better. Wheatgrass attachment is a wast if you use it for greens other than wheatgrass.

This is the only wheatgrass seeds we use for growning wheatgrass and juicing. We tried some whole foods bulk seeds but these grow much better I do regular and aquaponics type.

Hi Vanessa. I have not tried wheat grass, but I make spinach, kale juices all the time and I am pretty happy with results.

I guess it depends on how you grow it. I use organic soil and get two full cuttings. The grass is a little less tender on the second go, but a 900W Bullet handles it nicely. No luck so far with a third cutting, as mold tends to develop on the soil surface.

You know, I am not sure what St. Augustine grass looks like, but it really works well on medium and low height grass. Not so much on anything tall.

The grass will look the same, or very similar. You can grow wheatgrass with either, however the nutrition will be better in the hard red wheat. That is the one we recommend for growing wheatgrass.
