Hey everyone,
Im sorry if this has been addressed but i searched to no resolution.
I want to incorporate barley into my soil build along with my compost and worm bins. I bought 9 lbs from build a soil of organic sprouting barley so at this point it is un-malted. If i were to just add 1/2 cup per cf of unsprouted/unmalted barley seeds would it have same benefit as if the seeds were already malted?
Also if i did sprout them when i grind them up do i have to use water or can i just grind them once they are air dried and add as dry amendment? My intention was to grind half of malted grains and half with taproots sprouted just tossed in.
Also a brew store in my area sells malted barley,
But he said its malted and kiln dried, i just wanted to ask does that effect microbes or am i just more so after the enzymes in the malted taproots?
Thanks in advance guys and gals
