From Jar to Rack: What Happens When Fodder Starts to Sprout
This is where our fodder project moves from soaking seed in a mason jar to real living growth on the rack. In this follow-up to our fodder rack rebuild, we track hard white wheat berries through rinsing, draining, root tails, blackout, hand watering, green shoots, and the big question waiting at the end: will the rabbits eat it?
What is Fodder & Why are we growing it?
Fodder is not some shiny new homestead trend. It is an old, practical way of growing feed, and we are testing it from the very beginning at T-Bone’s Place: seed, water, jars, rinsing, tiny root tips, and all.
Our Fodder Rack Rebuild: Failing Forward With a Bread Tray
An old bread tray from a roadside junk-‘tique store gets a second life at T-Bone’s Place as we rebuild our first fodder rack, learn from a window-screen fail, and keep figuring it out from seed to feed.
