The Sprout Adventure - Unpacking and Setup

My package from Sprout People arrived yesterday, very exciting times. I documented unpacking it and setting it up with the first 2 batches of seeds. They had to soak overnight, so this is basically day one and day two.

Day 1 - Unpacking:

1. The goods arrived in a cardboard box with a bunch of non-biodegradable packing material, the contents included the Kid's Sprout Kit, 1 pound of mung beans and documentation on growing and care of the sprouts:
   
   


2. The Kid's Sprout Kit contained some kid friendly documentation, 4 pre-measured sprout mixes, a magnifying glass and 2 tiered sprouter.
   
   
   
   


3. After deciding what two packets to start with (Moo Mix and Beanie's Mix) I gathered two bowls and a measuring cup.
   
   


4. Emptied the contents into the bowls
   



5. And added 1 cup of cold water to each bowl and stirred up the mix gently
   
   

The beans soaked over night on the counter...

Day 2 - Setting up the Sprouter:

1. I forgot to mention that I covered the bowls with plastic wrap the night before
   
   


2. The next morning revealed that the larger beans soaked up almost all of the water
   
   


3. I proceeded with washing out the entire sprouter with warm soapy water and hand drying it
   
   


4. Next came loading the trays with the seeds and rinsing them. The seeds need to be rinsed 2-3 times a day and all of the excess water removed by shaking and tilting the tray around
   
   


5. Final step for the initial set up was to assemble the sprouter and wait...
