I tie it, cut the foot off and pull it over the jar. The fine mesh keeps even alfalfaseeds inside.<br /><br />I also use a new terrakotta flowerpot with a piece of flyscreen in the bottom for larger seeds like mung beans. Place the pot in water to soak at the same time as the seeds. Stand it on a saucer and put a plate over it and just run water over it two, three times a day. Keep the water and give it to your indoor plants.<br /><br />When harvesting, give your sprouts a few hours of sunlight to produse chlorophyll.<br /><br />Try buckweat or sesame seeds.
