1.  Soak the wheat seeds in a bucket of water for 12-24 hours. Completely cover the wheat seeds with water. They will absorb the water so you may need to top up the water during this time. 

2.  Pour water over the cocoa peat slab 30 minutes before you are ready to spread the wheat seeds. The cocoa peat will absorb up to 8 times its weight in water and will expand during this time. Make sure you do not waterlog the cocoa peat as this may cause mould to grow on the seeds during germination.

3.  Spread the wheat seeds over the cocoa peat evenly. you will find there is a generous amount of seed per tray which is okay. Put the tray in a safe place where your pets wont play with it. With a spray bottle filled with water spray the seeds in the morning and evening to keep the seeds moist while they germinate. This will take 3-4 days. You will start to see a shoot from one end and the root system from the other end.

4.  Once the roots bed down and the green shoot starts to sprout you will need to water the wheatgrass every 3-4 days by checking that the roots and cocoa peat is moist and is not drying out. Dont over water the wheatgrass at this stage.

5.  At this stage the wheatgrass will enjoy some sunlight to help it to grow.

6.  You can start feeding your animals the wheatgrass between day 10 and 16.
