I went to the garden centre the other day and brought home the "side salad" ( 1 bit of tomato, a bit of cucumber and loads of cress ) for the girls - they loved the cress so i went out and bought them some seeds so they could have their own and then i got to thinking if one of those seed sprouting tower things would be any good.

There are all sorts you can grow for us to eat and i wondered if the chickens could eat the seedlings instead - there was even some sort of broccoli you could munch on.

Does anyone have one of these and is it any good or would i be better cutting out the bottom of the flora cotainer which is what i have done for the cress ?

 

Happy spring by the way . I haven't been on here for ages due to too much stress in life and work - never mind no more work as from 1st April, but then no more wages either

They love them and they are bursting with vitamins so are good for them too.

I sprout loads for us to eat - but sometimes I have an overabundance of sprouts and end up sharing them with my hens. They particularly like the sprouted alfalfa.
