Fantastic!! I do love to see the before and after shots everyone posts, it really does give an insight into what can be done in a reasonable time frame.
What do you have growing?
Thanks for posting.

Hell of a job, it really gets me itching to do something similar in my back garden.

This week I started sprouting lentils which is ridiculously easy.

Great back garden transformation. Opsec out the window if anyone who knows you sees this :lol: :lol: . It all looks very tasty.

Decaff, don't get too worried about "worms". People don't talk about them the way they didn't talk about lice in the past. They can both be caught quite easily. Anyone who wants to be sure they never catch worms should never eat again :lol:, because, apart from pets and children, anyone who handles food who has them, been to the loo and not scrubbed their hands can pass them on. That delicious salad in the expensive restaurant (also anyone who's ever had a live caterpillar on their washed, bagged salad knows it's not washed all that well), that punnet of soft fruit, freshly picked by a third/developing world worker with a hole for a loo or the teenage worker on the deli counter in "name a supermarket" who doesn't want to ruin their nailpolish washing their hands too often. We are fortunate we have products to eradicate them easily. Sadly, there is still the ick factor ... :( .

You should be really proud of that work, I have saved the picture as inspiration, was a relatively low cost project?

Also try Mung beans and then learn about how to do Quinoa which is done over different time scales and has a completely different flavour and (i believe) nutritional profile.
