For those of you that have pets that like to graze on grass, buying it is expensive. You can go to the health food store and get a pound of wheat berries for about 50 cents and plant your own.

I like to use organic potting soil with no fertilizers, I keep small pots on hand, the more sparse you put seeds in the better. Lightly cover the seeds with soil, take a mister and dampen.

Put in a dark warm area for 3 days, I put mine in the oven and keep it misted (I put a note on the oven to remind me its in there!)

After 3 days place in a sunny location and watch it grow a bit everyday. It is so easy and so cheap, and always fresh on hand! And the bag of berry seeds produce many plantings, will last a long time, I keep it refrigerated until needed to plant more.
