So do you keep using the same tray and just trim and juice the grass, or do you have to start a new tray after you harvest the grass for juice?

You can get about two harvest' before needing to start over. Trim and juice. Trim and juice, start over.

I trimmed the grass and juiced it several time, You will be able to trim it at least five times (depends on how you take care of it) before you dump it and then start fresh. You keep the same tray and dump the dirt.

Each time you start a new tray. I use the organic dirt from the old crop for my compost pile. Other uses I'd suggest such as house plants which need bigger pots or perhaps one of your outdoor flower beds as it is thankfully springtime now. As you do your last cutting for the juicer just go ahead and soak another jar of seeds for the next crop.

I recharge after every orher mow....also have small lawn, it does not run out of 'juice' after one mow.

If you have a good juicer. I use kenmore (electric) doesn't do well. I read it on forums and hand crank seems to do the best. I got a hand crank one on amazon but all my grass died before getting the chance.

I use a produce bag and place it inside the waste bowl. As soon as I'm done juicing I wash everything. Use the brush to clean the screen and let it dry. If the screen still has stuff in it after dries - re-clean. Have been very satisfied with the juicer; Gary H.

Yea, you can juice just soft fruits/veggies just fine. I made a Wheatgrass and pineapple juice this morning, both softness. I've on many occasions used solely Wheatgrass /other greens. The rrecommendation of using a hard item in conjunction is to make sure there is no clogging. However, it isn't necessary. And if it does clog, not take a less than a minute to rinse out the clog and reattach.

It does any fruits and vegetables. Wheatgrass is a whole different thing. You need special extractor as far as I know. I have a small hand crank on for wheatgrass. But honestly if you are using kale and other leafy greens you won't need wheatgrass. The other alternative is to just add dried wheatgrass powder after you make your juice. That's what I do now. Much easier than dealing with fresh wheatgrass.

To be honest, and I LOVE my Breville, if you are looking to extract all the juice in greens, you would be better with a "green juicer", which presses the greens to extract the juice. The centrifugal force juicers really don't work well with wheat grass and greens. OR you can juice your fruits and veggies, and place the greens in a Vitamix and then add them with the pulp!!

yes, it does a good job with wheat grass. i also have a wheat grass only juicer and it works as well as that one.

Hello Liz. I have never juiced wheatgrass, but from the leafy green that I have used in this juicer I would not recommend it. From the research that I have done you might want to get a juicer that has a hand crank that way the wheatgrass doesnt clog up the juicer.

I don't know what you mean by a "blender thing". If you refer to a blender, you will blend the wheat grass not juice it. Since the fibers in wheat grass are pretty tough juicing is recommend, but if you blend it very well in a smoothie it might be ok.

I juice every morning (almost) and juice spinach, kale, beets,apples, ginger and sometimes carrots and citrus. From start to finish (including cleanup) it takes no more than 20 minutes max. The chute is larger but the 5-level adjustment was worth the upgrade. I think you would love it!

I think it depends on whats used on how much foam there is because it varies. I happen to like the foam but thats just a personal preference. No theres no pitcher to separate. Also its still spraying from the crease between the machine and the catch container where as it didnt in the beginning. I cant figure out why so the bag i put in the catch container im now folding up over that crease to minimize the spray mess. and... the pulp is wetter than it was in the beginning. I just run it back through another time or two, i still get good juice but disappointed its only been a month and im already having issues. After the money spent, Im already thinking about my next juicer... :(

Vertical Auger juicers are "adequate" but not the best to juice wheatgrass. I have juiced wheatgrass in this machine and it does fine. But I"m not juicing wheatgrass only, i've combined wheatgrass with other ingredients. For this purpose it does well. If your looking to juice mostly or strictly wheatgrass I would look at the horizontal auger style juicers IE: Omega 8006 or buy a dedicated wheatgrass juicer. If you looking to juice wheatgrass as well as other fruits and veggies then this does a good job. Hope this helps

keep the blade and underside clean after mowing after u pull the plug. get the cutting blades sharpened/ balanced every year.

You will have to drill holes yourself, as I will need to do when mine arrive Monday. I grow wheat grass and the roots need to reach the bottom tray for daily uptake of nutrient rich water. Pre-punched black trays are no longer available in my region and the blank standard trays are too flimsy to take drilling the same number of holes--they just crack and split!

Yes this machine can extract wheatgrass juice...but you are juicing vegetables just make sure you do not overload the machine, meaning do not feed the machine too much at one time. With wheat grass you won't have A problem

I used it for wheat grass. The fibre came out absolutely chewed and try. Every drop of juice was extracted. I didn't cut wheatgrass. So the fiber was caught up. I had to pull it out. Next time I used grapes in between. I had no problem with fiber.Since then I have used it for various leaves..works well but I have always used some other fruit or veggie in between leaves. Not a problem for me as I can't drink greens alone. I need a sweet fruit added.
