EUA Seed Sprouter (a good lockdown project)
![Oh Boy :roll](./images/smilies/icon_rollover.gif)
Equipment:
one Ziploc Medium Square
**, one Ziploc Small Square
*
[ Small Square (SS) is tray for Medium Square (MS) ]
cookie cutter (keeps MS higher to drain better),
broccoli seeds (or other seeds), hole punch.
![Arrow :arrow:](./images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif)
Directions:
Punch one hole inside MS in middle of groove along each side;
punch one hole in every corner in groove. Holes should be
slightly smaller than the seeds being sprouted.
Soak 3 tbsp broccoli seeds overnight in fresh water,
then pour off soaking water, add more water.
Place MS in sink and rinse seeds into MS.
Fill SS with 1/2" water, place MS inside SS,
add 1/2" water to MS to distribute seeds.
Jiggle Squares to cause seeds to spread evenly,
carefully lift MS, place in sink for water to drain.
Empty SS, place cookie cutter inside, place MS
on cookie cutter (helps water drain from MS),
cover with top and set away from light.
Each day, carefully sprinkle water on seeds
and allow them to drain into SS (empty SS
as needed). Remaining water can be drained:
place MS on a paper towel, then back on SS.
Seeds sprout in 4-5 days.

I'm testing broccoli seeds that I've saved 16 years.
It's Day 2 and already I see evidence of sprouting!
(more amazing since my kitchen temp is 60F)
*** Entrepreneur Alert: Create kits to share (or sell at cost)
with holes punched in the Medium Square. Include seeds
to upscale this sprouter kit with a whimsical name.
