How do I prepare canary seed
632812
I soak the 1 pound seed for 2 days. Then blend 8 table spoons into 2 glassOf water. Then filter it in a fine strainer to remove the seed skins. Once filtered, I drink it or add banana to make it taste better

You take 1 cup of canary seed and soak it in 4 cups of water overnight. The following morning you pour water and seed in a blender and at high speed blend it for two minutes. Use a colander tom to separate the milk it produces from the bagazo or shell. Drink the milk at room temperature right away. It will get sour and spoil if not drank right after it is prepared. Hope this helps.

Grinds it dry in a KRUPS GX4100 Electric Spice Herbs Grinder. Mix water and dry and now powder alpiste in pitcher. Soak for a while. Then strain liquid very fine and well. Careful it might make you frisky. ;)

i dont remember exactly. im pretty sure you just put some water on the dirt cakes and let them puff up in each square and then put the seeds in and lightly cover them and then put it near a window.

soak in water, preferably boiled, squeeze out most of the water, put the seed in the hole, tear off a small piece of the sponge and plug the hole just well enough to cover the hole but not too tight, put it in a sealed humidity container ( paper cup covered with cling wrap) and give it a few days. You can presoak the seeds and wait for a taproot to appear but it's not usually necessary.

If you have the liquid in the little packets, just mix one packet in with a little water, then add directly to the water in the aerogarden. Couldn't be simpler. You do it when you start your seeds, then again each time the indicator light goes on telling you to add the nutrients.

No it has cinnamon and anise extract powders. It says the canary seed is silica free canary grass seed.

Hi Juliette The instructions are in the plastic tray beneath the top part of the plastic tray with the pods. Anyway I will give them to you. Remove the netting from each soil pod and then add 3 oz of warm water to each pod. Let then sit for 15 minutes and then remove 1/3 or so of the top of the soil. Pour the seeds in each and cover with the soil that was removed. It takes about 4 to 6 days to germinate. I would let it grow to about 2 inches before giving to the kitty. Kathy Mullen

This product is only for birds. I had to ship mine back b/c this seed is not for human consumption.

We had a long, involved discussion with the manufacturer/grower. The grower that Bella BirdCo uses explained that silica are the "hairs or fibers" that can be on the outside of the canary seed. When they asked their farmers, they were told that this particular seed is the best quality, cleanest seed (meaning it is fresh and triple vacuumed to clean all dust off of it). Silica is abrasive; this particular seed is so smooth that the seeds flow out like water if one was to puncture the bag, like an hourglass. Seeds are are not triple cleaned or are of lower quality would not flow like this. So, they said since no one can really claim silica free, they can claim they have the cleanest, freshest, and highest quality canary seed (alpiste) which is also packed in a nitrogen-flushed bag. This oxygen-free environment keeps the seeds fresher and drier than hand-packed bags.

Whisk together 1 tablespoon chia seed and 3 tablespoons very hot water to replace one large egg - the size egg most often called for in baking. Let mixture sit for about 5 minutes to thicken before using. When using chia seed to replace an egg, it is a good idea to add an extra 1/2 teaspoon baking powder along with the chia seed gel for each egg being replaced to better mimic the leavening properties of eggs.

It took 2-3 weeks before the birds really started coming to mine. I was second guessing my expensive purchase every day! I set up a birdbath nearby....put seed on the grass underneath...bought nice fresh black sunflower seeds ( they're not so wild about the millet/seed mixes I've found..) The finches also LOVE safflower seed! NOW I have so many birds I wish I didn't have to fill it so often. Try the birdbath nearby and the seed underneath.

I googled the question since I do not know the answer and this is a youtube tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKPDPVbrMLs There are other recipes also.

Mix it with enough vegetable shortening to hold it together and place it in or very near the hive on a piece of paper. I like to lay it on top of the frames inside a Langstroth hive. Make sure you don't attract pests or grow mold.

The mash is probably crushed up. I spoke with a guy on the phone from the Harrison's company. He told me to not get the mash for my canary. He told me that canaries need the "Super-fine pellets". I would give the budgie the super fine pellets. I hope that helps.

No that does not seem to be a problem. What I do is pour a portion of seed into a coffee can, add the liquid and then shake shake so the seeds get coated. A little goes a long way. It pours normally into the feeder, doesn't seem to pool or clump, and just makes the seeds a little shinier. It has been out there for a few weeks at a time and no complaints to the chef about spoiled seed from the birdie diners. Hope this helps.

Try the cucumber plate #18110. If this one doesn't work, it is possible to modify other seed plates to accept large, flat seeds such as pumpkin. Please see the earthway manual for directions on how to do this:http://www.earthway.com/manuals/1b3e89a7-ebd5-473d-ae01-187dda4e4911.pdf

You're quite welcome. I'm having to do some research myself, because I don't have any knowledge of seeds and plants. I want to learn, though. Foxfire books may be helpful. I haven't checked them out, but they are reported to tell about the "old" ways of doing things. Happy researching.
