permaculture

Where would one obtain wheatgrass seed for sprouting purposes (ie, for 
eating?)

Also, the green manure Alfalfa is presumably also suitable for sprouting?

Finally, I've grown spelt wheat in the past, but found it's tough coat a 
problem when added to
soups etc (I havn't grown enough to make it viable to make into a flour, etc, 
but thought a handful
in a soup would be OK, eg, like barley)

I also tried sprouting spelt so that I could eat the shoots, but again the 
tough coat is hard to
remove and makes the job too labour intensive to be worthwhile- has anybody 
any suggestions?

Cheers for now,
