ABSTRACT:
A self watering bean sprout growing method and kit are provided. The kit includes a water impervious growth chamber in the configuration of a large open cooking vessel. A support surface is placed in the growth chamber and covered with a premoistened absorbent membrane over which bean seeds are spread in a layer. Provision is made for stacking alternate layers of membranes and bean or other seeds one on the other above the support surface to selectively vary the quantity of each batch of bean or other edible sprouts to be propagated. The growth chamber is capped with a water pervious primary reservoir whereby moisture is admitted to the growth chamber through the bottom of the reservoir. Venting of air to the growth chamber is provided between the auxiliary reservoir and the top of the growth chamber. The support surface comprises the bottom of an inverted vessel placed in the bottom of the growth chamber.
