I only want this for wheat grass. Anyone used it for that? Good luck?

Yes, it works very well for that. Be careful with the alignment though - Somehow we managed to break ours by bearing down when it wasn't quite properly in place. And it was a lot of work (arm has a long sweep) - frankly we switched to electric. Good luck!

I haven't tried it, but I don't think it would work well in an established lawn. It is designed to cultivate and de-weed gardens and needs to penetrate beneath the surface of the soil in order to "work" properly.

I have successfully juiced spinach in this machine. It is not meant for wheat grass and you need a masticating juicer for that.

I used it last year, and probably wouldn't use it too early in the lifecycle for newly seeded grass. Get your new grass planted and growing for a month or two, then supplement with this.

This will work fine for you, it will only kill grass. It is also labeled for vegetables. It will not kill weeds either, just grass. If you have more or technical questions try your county Cooperative Extension Office.

have not tried that yet, good on leaves in tight garden spots. Id say get a regular rake for grass.

I would think it would sprout the wheat, but does not grow the greens very well, I would suspect the tray would be better, it has a growing medium for the roots.

I have not tried wheatgrass in it. From everything I've read about juicers, the masticating kind are best for grasses and greens.

This is really a lightweight unit designed for small yards. It does a decent job with small amounts of leaves although I have not used it yet or grass clipping,I doubt that it would be able to used in a sizable way for yard clippings unless the area was very small. Up north we have not yet had to cut the grass yet. When we do...I can try it and let you know.

It works great for both white and brown rice. I tried steel cut oatmeal and turned out well, but so far have not tried wheat, barley. According to the Aroma

In my experience, it did not work well. It caught about half of the grass. On a perfectly level lawn, it may work better.

I believe so. If you haven't tried wheat grass before, understand that it's REALLY STRONG tasting. I ended-up giving my canister away to someone else.

Hi Gerald-- To be honest, I don't think it was meant for that type of application but I'm semi-impressed it worked at all! Have you considered just getting a grain mill? I think Amazon sell a variety of models that should do the job right for you. Good luck!

No, I don't think it would work well for that. I used it on pinecones and small branches and it worked well. I use my lawnmower with bag (Greenworks as well) to collect and mulch leaves.

I love this tool, but it is not my first choice for the grass problem you describe. Those grass roots radiate about 5 inches out from the clump, and you will have to cut through those roots all the way around and underneath the clump to get them out. A tool like a heavy duty serrated knife works better -- and much faster.

It may work better on cracked corn than wheat, it doesn't fit together tight enough for Wheat. I was disappointed in the hopper myself. I gave or away.

have not tried wheatgrass yet but we have been using kale from our garden and it does a great job!
