How do you grow barley grass?
Soak barley seeds in water to make them germinate faster. After 24 hours, place the seeds in a pot with soil. Place the pot in a warm and light place to stimulate growth. Water the seeds every day. Within 14 days the seeds grow about 20 centimeters; with 100 grams of seeds you produce about 100 grams of grass. That's all! Do you want to make your own juice? That is also very simple. Mix 100 to 200 grams of grass and 3.5 liters of water in a blender. Filter the juice, dilute it with 3.5 to 7 liters of water and you're done!
