Sprouting Radish Seeds
Sprouter, small seed insert, and radish seeds.
In response to wd’s questions, I’m sprouting some radish seeds so you can get an idea of what sprouting small seeds is like.
The first photo shows the sprouter I use. It came with an insert for smaller seeds. The pack of seeds is lying next to it, and I put a quarter in the shot so you can get an idea of how big the slits are in the strainer.
The second photo shows the seeds in the sprouter, ready to soak overnight. Tomorrow morning, I’ll drain and rinse the seeds, and rinse them daily until the sprouts are ready to harvest.
I’ll post more photos this week as they sprout, including photos of the root system. Radish seeds sprout quickly, so stay tuned.

Thanks KH. Waiting on the root show. The sprouter pan must be an inch or better deep, right?
wd: yes at least an inch. If there’s any type of lid, make it deeper so that the sprouts aren’t squashed. Probably 2-3″.
I’ll make my own. Will use vinyl or aluminum screen so can make it deep enough that the seeds don’t wash out when rinsed
