Tray Method

Use a perforated tray (plastic mesh screening). Place it on another tray to catch the drippings. Cover it with a clean, damp cloth. Arrange the presoaked seeds on it, one layer deep, and cover with another damp cloth. Several times a day remove the top cloth, rinse the seeds with a spray of water or under the tap, and cover again with a damp cloth. Always keep tray and cloths very clean.

Alfalfa

Alfalfa sprouts should be covered with clear plastic or glass and placed in the light when the shoots are about one inch long and you can see two tiny, pale leaves on top of each. The leaves will turn green in one to two days and the sprouts are ready for the salad bow.
