ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for sprouting plant seeds and growing the sprouts to a desired size is disclosed comprising a container having an open top and perforated bottom and side wall, a flexible screen means adapted to upwardly extend the horizontal restraint of the sidewall on the sprouts and, optionally, a heat reflective gas and moisture impermeable means adapted to surround and cover the top and side wall of the container. An improved method of growing plant sprouts is disclosed which comprises growing the sprouted plants in the above described container with the flexible screen means arranged to exert a constant pressure radially inward against the growing sprouts. In a preferred embodiment the open top of the container is covered by the flexible screen means and the screen-covered container is covered with the heat reflective means.
