I just bought barley, $32/50lb bag that wasn't labeled for sprouting, but is feed grade so I'm hoping that's right. 😰 I like your method, thank you for sharing! I didn't realize how old this video is at first until you mentioned the price, crazy how prices have went up.
Everything is crazy this year (and last year). I’m glad you liked the video and thanks for commenting. The barley you bought sounds like it should work. Let me know and good luck!
I am just starting to get interested in growing fodder. My first-time raising chickens but I also want quail and rabbits. everything I plant can be fed to one and all, hopefully. Thank you for your video. It was very informative and kept me interested in what you were saying.
Just a suggestion to viewers; shop around at your local mill. I looked online at buying bags of barley (untreated) for 50 pounds it was $20 plus another $25 shipping but my local mill had 50 pounds bags for $7
Very nice!!! I add a dozen or so black beans or other beans and corn seed (whatever is cheap). This bumps up the protein levels by a couple percentage points. Thanks for the video
It all depends on where you buy your barley, I don't know what country you're in, so I can not tell you how much it can save you, but I do a cost break down at the end of the video.
I purchased my barley in Petaluma, California from a feed store. They generally come in 50 pound bags; at the time of this video a bag cost between $15-$20. If you can find it online with cheap shipping, go for it, but I'd check all the local feed stores first.
How much fodder do you feed your rabbits? I have 4 pound breeds and 8-9 1/2 pound breeds. Also, do you feed them twice a day like the chickens? Do you feed a combination of fodder and rabbit pellets, or just fodder? Thanks for the video!
Hi, sorry I didn't see your comment until today. I feed the rabbits a combination of fodder, timothy hay, and pellets. I feed them once a day, but I give them enough to graze on throughout the day and night if they're hungry. They know how much to feed themselves, and if I overfeed (as I have on occasion), there will be food leftover at the next feeding.
Over soaking slows the growth. Conditions would have to be pretty cool to require even 12 hours. When I did a lot of alfalfa sprouts optimum soak was about 4 hours. Of course barley is larger but I doubt it absorbs much past 8 hours. Bean sprouts grow much less initial root if they push against weight. To get nice fat bean sprouts with less root have them push against a weighted lid.
I only soak my barley overnight and they do just fine. I use the plastic trays with the 2nd screen on top (6 pack that I'd gotten from Amazon). My chickens love them, too.
there is a feed store in every town around me, none of them can order organic seed. that means all that is left is major chemical barley seed. one bag i saw said if you feed to a animal it will kill them.also the barley smells under the mat.. yes its hot here. i live on solar, so no air cond. any help
I live in Missouri and there are several populations of Amish farmers who grow barley and it is not government certified but grown with organic practices and it is not gmo seed. check around with local farmers and see if you can get it to grow for you good luck
I wonder what prices you are paying for barley now. Are you stiII feeding fodder i am about to build a big system and grow a Iot more, Barley, wheat, Sunflower, and corn. I am going to build a green house because growth slows to almost nothing under 50 degrees.
Well darn! I liked your video😆 Its nice to see someone doing something showing it as it happens. plus ya missed a day too. Just like I do. Thank you for your input.
Hi, please dont buy a tripod and dont learn how to film as your brilliant clip is just so easy to watch and you make it look as easy as it is, no ego trip. I am looking at this clip as I volunteer for an animal shelter in Goa India, WAG @welfareforanimalsingoa and I want to get something going for the calves we have as they dont do so well without their mamas sadly. Some are abandoned due to injuries from being on the street. So thank you so much. follow us on facebook Pet Life Goa.

Please tell me the name, location of your local mill. Thanks. I am in Texas, but, I still need to know.
Great VLOG . . . Love your bucket, and strainer hook up, would love to pick up your bucket, and strainer for trying our own fodder
Very nice!!!

Thanks for the video
That was a nice and simple step by step, day by day progress informative video. Thanks
I like the simplicity of your lecture. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Good video. I got confused on the days too but I got the idea. Subscribed
I've watched this vid more than once and see something more each time, good teacher.
James Cooler thank you very much!!
I thought your video was charming and gave me the information I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing.
I’m not familiar with growing fodder. Does this cut down feed costs? If so how much do you save?

Really good job on this video. I really enjoyed watching it! Thanks for the great instruction.
Excellent, didn’t know were to find the trays! Looked at Trucker Supply, they didn’t them. Plant nursery! Where do you buy the barely? Online?

Where are you storing the trays?
Under a table in my growing room.
Dear Lady, you have a very pleasant voice so I watched the entire video though I have no animals.
Well thank you!
How often do you water? Once or twice a day?
That was a good video . I enjoyed it very much .
Please make some more

love your video so informative. Love hearing your chickens at the background.
Pilipinas Daily thank you!
barley is not available in my place, is there anything else that can be used for the fodder method?
I wonder what prices you are paying for barley now. Are you stiII feeding fodder i am about to build a big system and grow a Iot more, Barley, wheat, Sunflower, and corn. I am going to build a green house because growth slows to almost nothing under 50 degrees.
Where do you get your barley
Well darn! I liked your video😆 Its nice to see someone doing something showing it as it happens. plus ya missed a day too. Just like I do. Thank you for your input.
Thank you.
do you start a new batch every day? I oculdnt hear anything due to background noise and that link is not working
What is the price of hydroponic tray
it is normal water you use?
Yes.
Thanks! I was doing it wrong. This was helpful.
Thank you very much for this video.I love it.God bless 😇
How much time you water them(per tray) a day ?
thanks for sharing. its very helpful
Why it is black and white?
I don't know... lol.
GOOD JOB WHERE CAN I GET THE BLACK TRAYS I REALY NEED THEM
you could keep them all stacked and only have 2 that are uncovered. It'll become green in the 2 days easy
You’re right. I do that when I’m not making videos lol, but I forgot to point that out in the video. Thanks for the reminder!!
Great video and such a great idea.
I hope you take the time to read your messages. Try only soaking the barley for 30 min it make a big difference in growth times
steven porter I do indeed read my messages! Thank you for the suggestion.
why only 30?

Katrina G Harris thank you so much for your volunteer work and also for the kind words. I am so glad you found the video helpful
La meilleure vidéo pour faire germer des graines d'orge , qui soit sur youtube . Merci .
+Annick Martin-Gatignol Merci.
You're welcome!
Good tips
I like the way mam u said ,,I don't know what ever the day it is ,,,,hehehehehhe,,,,so simple and down to earth Nice
Lol. thank you. We try, but we do get so busy around here we lose track of time. The chickens are still doing well, though, and that's what matters.
Thank you for sharing mam. Good to go i will do that and share it to you in any result
Don't you ever get problems with bugs?
What sort of bugs? I do get whiteflies that are attracted to the fodder (they like grass), but the chickens love eating them, so it doesn't bother me.
Is that barley or wheat?
DF USA barley.
I was getting motion sickness watching this
thanks mam ....
Good video
I believe you lost count of the days because you stopped doing a tray a day.
very good idea,...... i mean about the tripod
it was a good video..
Thanks so much!
Good video
Good
great thx
Turning 1kg of barley grain into 5kg of way more nutritious feed for any animal that grazes on grass..
i get a bit better, faster, lusher results EVERY time, I DO NOT COVER barley tray, denying it light helps nothing
its scary, you voice is just like melissa mccarthy's
+Ameen Dabo I didn't know who she is, so I looked her up on UA-cam. Her voice is higher pitched.
Nice
