GAIA Clay Sprouter - Racing Green - Nutritious Seed Sprouter / Germinator with Sprouting Guide

such as Chia, Cress, Flax, Mizuna(Japanese mustard), Radish and Rocket. This type of seed is best grown by sprinkling on a porous surface that has been pre-soaked with water. Other types of sprouter tend to fail, because the seeds become too wet and turn into a gelatinous mass, like frog spawn. A gentle, twice daily watering is best done with a spray bottle, possibly more frequently during dry warm weather. When the shoots start to appear you can separate the two growing tiers and place them in sunlight until ready for harvesting. Although I purchased it with this purpose in mind, it is excellent for all your sprouting needs.The Gaia Sprouter is a quality compact product, with a rustic feel, that will grace any nook and cranny in your kitchen. The item arrives well packed, thus minimising the risk of damage in transit. It is easy to clean, with a look that screams organic nutrition. Just right for sprouting for one or two people - I love it.

does the job, very pleased

it's freezing cold in my place right now and the sprouter works really well!

After a couple of days my sprouter lid exploded due to an air bubble in the ceramic. The replacement lid sent out was a different shape (flat rather than domed), colour (olive rather than vivid green), with a much smaller handle and had cracks, drips in the glaze and a very 'pitted' surface from air bubbles. I was told it is completely normal to expect such large product variations as each lid is made by hand. But my first lid had a perfect finish and the replacement lid looked like a second. Now I have a lid that does not match my sprouter base. I have since tried some mung beans and radish sprouts in it, and good for mung beans, but the radish seeds went through the holes in the ceramic, and some have got stuck in the holes. So a lot of hassle for the money for me.

Arrived broken so it was returned for a refund, have not reordered yet
