Fodder Rack


I was unhappy with my old Fodder system, so I converted to these Trays and a 10-shelf shoe rack. The fodder racks on Amazon have a design flaw where you can't get the trays in and out easily. I do not have that issue with the shoe racks.

The shoe rack holds 30 trays very easily. If you didn't mind it being a tight fit, you could probably get 4 trays on each shelf. I currently stack the white strainer trays to the sink and rinse about ten at a time. Then I put the paper on each and spray the paper as I place them back. The paper holds in the moisture longer since I have a fan running to help strengthen my garden seedlings.

Eventually, I want this to be automated to water three times a day with solar power, but I have a commitment I have to finish first. Hopefully, I will have that project done before the end of the year.

We feed the fodder to our livestock in the dead of winter. It's like giving them a dose of vitamins in a way they consider a nice treat.


just some oat grass
The seeds spilled when we cleaned out the garden closet, so we put them into some dirt in a container and grew them. I use any decent-sized rectangular deli-type trays for the same purpose.
