I have a question about the different length of wheatgrass.
I grow wheatgrass at home in a tray and some blades of grass are already 10 inches high and some are still less then 5 inches high.
How am I supposed to know when to harvest the wheatgrass, or what am I doing wrong? I always see these perfect pictures and they don't look like my wheatgrass.
I have noticed there is not as much consistency in the length of my blades of wheagrass when I don't follow the steps below. Make sure you do the following growing wheatgrass at home steps:
1. Take the time to smooth out the top of your soil in the tray - you know, just kind of smooth off the soil with your hands. Have a nice flat growing surface of soil to "plant" or actually rest your seeds on.
If I rush more, then the soil might be a little more uneven or lumpy. So just kind of rake, with your fingers, the top of your soil to start with a nice flat surface.
I notice when my surface area of soil is more uneven, my blades of grass grow in more unevenly.
2. Buy soil without the tiny pieces of bark in it, or pick them out before you plant your seeds.
I have noticed that my grass grows in more unevenly when the bark is in the soil. The seeds eventually put down their roots into the soil. If the seeds are on top of the bark or even tiny stones, it takes more time for them go get their roots around the bark or tiny stones and into the nourishing soil.
So the blades of grass able to "dig in" to the soil first, I think have a growing advantage over the seeds that have to go around the bark or other hard objects in the soil, thus perhaps slowing down those blades' growth.
3. Make sure you are watering all areas of your seeds consistently. Make sure your paper towel, on top of the seeds, is staying moist - over all the seeds.
Those are my three ideas that might help you. Please let me know, if that information results in more "even" growing grass.
Perhaps others reading your question will also have ideas for you, and then post them here too.
Keep experimenting Andreas and I know you will get it right.
