I'll be interested in how you get on with it.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to try making something like this (top of page) to hull and mill my spelt:<BR/><BR/>http://www.plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/LTRAS/<BR/>itech/thresh.html<BR/><BR/>I suggest the first year to grow the grains in rows about 12 inches apart with seed spacing about 1 inch. That's what I did last year with the spelt, and it seems to be working well. When you have saved seed for replanting, and you are doing it on a larger scale, you could try broadcasting the seed into an open space.<BR/><BR/>Like grass, grains will use a lot of water, so you don't want to plant it so densely it uses all available water or it may die.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you've already seen it, but Salt Spring Seeds has some information on their web site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
