No, but I am trying to learn how to sprout stuff for veggie smoothies, alfalfa, mung and adzuki beans, radish, etc.

You have a sprouter? If not these things are great. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of seeds into each tray, fill the top one with water and it dribbles down through each one to the bottom holding tray. I grow alfalfa, mung beans, and a spicey lentil mix. Takes about 5 days. I start a new tray every 1-2 days so always have fresh sprouts. No direct sun required.

I've also started 4 pines and a hemlock on my window sill, and have just planted more seeds: sugar maples, sitka spruce, dogwood, and more pines. Not sure how they'd taste in a smoothie though.

This looks like the one I have but there are many different makes out there. Search for "sprouters". Of course, if you already have one, forget all this.
