I posted this video yesterday. It shows a little preview on my new fodder setup that I am going to build:)

I like the idea of growing the fodder in the bricks!
We keep changing our system. The more we read the more I find out that I don't know lol. We have learned so much and just keep on learning.
One thing I would say to anyone thinking about growing your own fodder. Just do it even if you are not sure how to do it. The hardest part is trying to find the seed. We found ours checking out on Craigslist.
There really is no wrong way to do it. Soak your seeds then start growing. The animals will thank you *smile*

The blocks seem to work really well but I'm going to be building a system to test it out:) I would definitely say to jump right in and at least do some testing. 24 hours of soaking the seeds, put the seeds in a container that you can wet the seeds really good every single day and have the water drain immediately. Should work very well:)
