I did green smoothies for a month for breakfast with wonderful results for my health, but not so much for my wallet. Vegetables and fruits are getting more expensive as the economy worsens, and I’d like to get most of my nutrition from my own gardens. Plus, it’s not my own money I’m spending, but my parents’. I would totally do the whole sprouting jar thing, but in reailty, I don’t have that much time. I’m overwhelmed by the mass amounts of information and by the lack of really substantial reviews, so I don’t know where to start looking for a sprouter and an indoor garden. I’m mostly interested in a sprouter that’s capable of handling wheatgrass as well as “normal” sprouts and an indoor garden for mostly lettuce/leafy greens and some herbs. I suppose that space and money for these two things, as long as they are reasonable, aren’t that important, but I’d really like some help on this! I don’t think I can try a mostly raw diet until I get over this barrier. Sorry for the long post, but thanks in advance for any help!

I’m trying to go selfsufficient on sprouts and greens too.
In the beggining i used jars for my sprouts, and then i bought a 3 tier sprouter because I wanted to make more sprouts, it’s a GEO you may see it here: http://www.ukjuicers.com/sprouters/GEOSprouter.htm I’m not very happy with it because it keeps water around so you must look and be sure that all water has gone. So I prefer my jars to this sprouter. I was trying to find how to use a lot of jars in small space and i found a really nice idea to hold a lot of jars, here it is: http://www.kitchengarden.co.za/litre9.html Don’t know if something similar is sold in the US or Europe. I think that way jar method can be faster.
