Above, 4 flavors are laid out and ready to sprout. Up to 4 compatible varieties of seeds can be grown on the same tray.

Dear Sproutman: I’m very busy. I don’t have time to change the water in the water barrel daily. Must I change it?—B. Zeeh

I know you’re busy, but sprouts want fresh, clean, pure water, just like people. If you miss a day, in most cases, the sprouts will do fine. But if there are problems, then you should change the water once each day. Hy- drogen peroxide and grapefruit seed extract are helpful in reducing bacterial growth. They increase the probability that your crops will survive missed wa- ter changes. (Read “About Mold,” p.12) But when there are problems, return to the proper method. A delicious, healthy crop of fresh greens is worth it.

You can also tell when the water needs changing by looking at its foaminess or darkened color. But as the sprouts mature, the water stays clean- er longer. So, if you need to skip your watering chores for a day, do it when the sprouts are a little further along.

Dear Sproutman: Is there any way I can grow more than one variety at a time? –Manny Thypes

Yes! There are three ways.

1)Each sprouting tray has four sections to it. Ridges separate the sections. If you lay different seed varieties into each section, you can grow up to four different flavors on a single tray.

2)You can also add a second sprouting barrel to your Freshlife and put different varieties in each level. This effectively doubles your output and enables a rotation cycle that ensures there is always

a “ready-to-eat’ crop.

3)Finally, you can mix a few

varieties and grow them together. Our favorite mixture is Sproutman’s Garden Mix which contains alfalfa, clover, radish, and cabbage sprouts.

FL-3000 specifications

The Tribest FL-3000 is a high-performance juice extractor designed for health-conscious individuals seeking to enhance their nutrition through fresh juice. Renowned for its advanced technologies and user-friendly features, the FL-3000 stands out in the competitive juicing market.

One of the most significant features of the FL-3000 is its unique cold-press juicing method. This technology utilizes a slow, gentle extraction process that preserves the essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes in fruits and vegetables.

The FL-3000 is equipped with a powerful 200-watt motor that operates quietly and efficiently, providing optimal juice extraction while keeping noise levels to a minimum. This makes it an excellent choice for early risers or those who prefer a peaceful juicing experience. The machine's low RPM (revolutions per minute) ensures that the juice retains its natural flavors and colors, making each glass a delightful treat for the palate.

Another standout characteristic of the Tribest FL-3000 is its versatile design. It features a wide feeding chute, allowing users to feed in whole fruits and large vegetable pieces without extensive preparation. This saves time and effort, making the juicing process more convenient. The unit also comes with multiple strainers, enabling users to customize the pulp levels in their juice, catering to individual preferences for a smoother or more textured drink.

Moreover, the FL-3000 showcases a compact and stylish design, making it an attractive addition to any kitchen countertop. Its easy-to-clean construction includes detachable components, allowing for hassle-free maintenance and ensuring that users can enjoy fresh juice without lingering traces of past blends.

Safety features are also a priority with the Tribest FL-3000. It includes a locking mechanism that ensures the lid is secured during operation, preventing any spills or accidents. Additionally, the juicer has built-in overheating protection to prolong the lifespan of the motor.

Overall, the Tribest FL-3000 is a reliable and efficient juice extractor that combines innovative technology with practical design. Its cold-press extraction system, powerful motor, and versatility make it a favorite for anyone looking to boost their health through the delicious benefits of freshly made juice.
