Low budget DIY sprouting trays made at home in 15mins

For just £1 I have created an alternative set of sprouting trays which will be used on my windowsill so that I can add huge amounts of nutrition to my body in just a few small bites, keeping me feeling chipper throughout the day.

This purple kale for example grew in three days made me feel great! I munched on it exactly as you can see it here. No extras needed.

Amazon

For all it's convenience it is great but let's face it, there is always a better way...

This is the one I bought last week.

The better way!

These I bought in a pound shop in my local village. Three for £1.

The quartz crystal is preparing them for the task ahead with some focused intention.

Each layer has small holes leading to the next layer, permitting for some air flow and root growth.

Equipment

All I needed was a kitchen knife and some sellotape. Oh and a few pins to hold the drainage layer at the bottom at an elevated level though it may be that I don't need these pins at all. Still learning here...

Naturally I will show you how it works in comparison to its expensive brother once I have some sprouting seeds in there.

This broccoli arrived yesterday thanks to the awesome suggestion of @trucklifefamily

Can't wait to taste them!!!!

The need for constant creativity

I have noticed here in the UK how much I need to keep my creative juices flowing. Or perhaps this need has been forever, it's just that now there are no kids around and things actually get finished in record time!

For example I am intending to buy an essential oil burning device for my bedroom because I have some french lavender oil with me. These kind of devices are cheap and I've seen some good ones on sale in town.

Anyway, I couldn't just wait till tomorrow's Saturday market. No. I had to go and build my own temporary one!

Smells sooooooo great and feel sure it will help me sleep better tonight.

It's the moon. I can feel it coming.

The groups which have proved the test of time

From now on I am going to include a little free PR for @naturalmedicine when I make posts like this because let's face it, these particular groups are amazing due to the way in which they are focused on helping us understand the awesome power of nature and what it can really do for us.

@naturalmedicine are the only people I have ever delegated my hard eared SP to because for me there is nothing more important than helping others feel better through our understanding of nature. Their discord group is the perfect place to get the answers you seek.

@eco-alex is the founder of @ecotrain and he has also done an amazing job building up his community around a basic principle. Help the Earth.

And for that reason I feel proud to be a part of it and happy to show off his banner.
