Alice - I spent years doing sprouting mung beans with the jam jar and it worked well (we could never get bean sprouts up here for stir fries until Safeways arrived). I have NEVER been able to grow mustard and cress. I know it sounds ridiculous and even school children do it. It never sprouts or if it does it just all curls in on itself. So perhaps the vermiculite might be a good idea.
Can someone tell me do you sow the seeds under the vermiculite or on the top? and would you still put some kitchen towel on the bottom? What sort of pot/dish etc do you use?
I have to get to grips with this one, it is denting my confidence! How can I grow sprouting broccoli if I can't grow mustard and cress!
