Grow your very own antioxidant rich horse feed, no soil required!!

I grow/ sprout all my own horse feed I have been doing this for quiet some time now and have had amazing results. So too have many of my customers who have embraced this sprouted raw food diet for their horses, reversing arthritis and COPD eliminating sweet itch & skin tumors just to mention a few.

For the past few years I have made sure that during the winter time when grass is in short supply and my horses are consuming a mostly hay diet that I am feeding something ALIVE.

Hay is a wonderful source of forage for the winter but because hay is dried it will be lacking essential enzymes. 

To my mostly hay diet I add one of my favorite living foods, wheatgrass which I grow with out soil so I just toss the full tray of grass out to the horses and they devour the lot succulent roots and all. Sprouted grasses like wheat, barley, oat and rye are the most outstanding nutritional, phytochemically rich land food on the planet!!

To grow grass with out soil.

The first step is to soak the seeds for 10 -12 hour or over night.

Next day drain them thoroughly and putting them on the growing tray.

Spread them only one layer deep. Then they need to be covered with something to keep them in the dark, just for 1-2 days.

It is important to water them twice a day with a little hand sprayer.

 

 

By day 3-4 you should start to see little tails appear and they may need more water, i use a watering can out side to really wet them and leave drain.

 

 

by day 7-10 they should be ready, feed the whole thing even the roots.
