2. 在容器中填充泥炭藓/椰糠/任何其他发芽介质（1 英寸深就足够了）。3. Spray water till germination medium is moist.
3.喷水直至发芽培养基湿润。
4. Spread seeds evenly on germination medium.
4.将种子均匀地撒在发芽培养基上。

5.喷水直至发芽培养基浸湿。
6. Cover with a lid and leave in a dark place for 1-2 days.
6. 盖上盖子，在暗处放置 1-2 天。7. Check everyday and make sure growing medium is moist throughout the growth period.
7. 每天检查并确保整个生长期间生长介质湿润。
7. Expose the seedlings to indirect sunlight or grow light after 3 days or when the seedlings are 1-2" tall. Place the container or tray at a well-ventilated place e.g. under a fan or windowsill to reduce mold growth.
7. 3天后或当幼苗长到1-2英寸高时，将幼苗暴露在间接阳光或生长灯下。将容器或托盘放在通风良好的地方，例如风扇下或窗台以减少霉菌生长。
8. Wheatgrass is ready to be harvested when the second blade of leaf is formed or about 5-6" tall.
8. 当第二片叶子形成或大约 5-6 英寸高时，小麦草就可以收割了。
9. Harvest the wheatgrass by cutting at 1" above the germination medium.
9. 在发芽介质上方 1 英寸处切割，收割小麦草。10. Wheatgrass will regrow and can be harvested for up to three times.
10. 小麦草会重新生长，最多可收割 3 次。11. Dispose of the germination medium and roots in a compost bin and repeat Step 1.
11. 将发芽介质和根放入堆肥箱中，然后重复步骤 1。Method 2: Grow wheatgrass without germination media/soil
方法 2：在没有发芽介质/土壤的情况下种植小麦草1. Soak the seeds for at least 4 hours.
1.将种子浸泡至少4小时。2. Spread the seeds evenly on a colander or mesh tray.
2. 将种子均匀地撒在滤盆或网盘上。3. Cover the colander/tray with a lid and leave in a dark place for 1-2 days.
3. 盖上滤盆/网盘，并在黑暗处放置 1-2 天。4. Soak and rinse the seeds for at least 3 times a day.
4、每天至少浸泡、冲洗种子3次。5. Expose the seedlings to indirect sunlight or grow light after 3 days or when the seedlings are 1-2" tall. Place the container or tray at a well-ventilated place e.g. under a fan or windowsill.
