How to Water Wheatgrass

Wheatgrass provides many health benefits when consumed either in whole form or by extracting the juices and using them in recipes. Wheatgrass is easy to grow in an indoor environment, which means that almost anyone can enjoy the nutritional benefits of wheatgrass if they desire. The process of growing wheatgrass takes approximately one week from start to finish. Watering the wheatgrass will be a daily task as you nurture the grass to the point of harvesting.

Things You'll Need:

2. Spray a light mist over the entire seed area with the spray bottle.
