Growing Excitment


Our Fodder System is working beyond our expectations.  This is day three and we are so amazed on the progress.  

It is just so exciting to be able to grow your own organic food for your animals.  To increase the nutritional value and to save money while doing it is amazing.  I have now found a local source of Barley seeds that will be a great savings.  Our local  http://www.johnnyseeds.com/t-stores.aspx they have a great supply of Barley seed on hand and I pick up my first 50 lb bag of it tomorrow.  So far the rye and sunflower seeds have been doing great.  The wheat seeds have not sprouted yet.  So I will do more research on them.  They might just take longer to sprout.
We are confident that on day six or seven we will be giving our livestock their first hearty helping of fresh fodder.  We just cant wait for the benefits.  We have modified the shelving because the one we started out with was going to be too small with the amount we need to grow.  But we had another larger shelf in a loft area that I borrowed for this trial period.  If all works well we will purchase the Fodder System its own shelf.  For this trial I do not want to spend any extra money until I know it is proven to work.  We are confident at this time it will and the process is so easy everyone who raises animals should be doing it.
