The first batch of alfalfa sprouts produced great. It does take rinsing at least twice a day. The next go, I used a mix of sprouts I got from a health food store. By the second day, the sprouts were starting to mildew. I threw that out and started over. By day two, again the sprouts were starting to mildew. I have low humidity in my house so I can't figure the problem. Rinsing twice a day is all I can manage because I work away from home. I rinsed real good and left the sprouts uncovered. So far so good, but this system isn't perfect, needs more supervision than I can offer it.

I purchased this set to learn and start sprouting, and I have been very happy with it. The instructions are very easy and understandable even for a novice. The set is easy to clean and maintain. I am happy with it, and have purchased another for myself for more trays and a set for a loved one.

I bought this seed sprouting system because I love sprouts and had a different system many years ago. My seeds sprouted okay, but they kept mildewing! The watering system is terrible. If you don't keep a constant eye on them, they either dry out or rot. The directions do say that they should be rinsed 2 times per day, but that is too much for me (I have a family and household to take care of). I'm throwing it out and trying to find my old sprouting system.
