I’ve never tried the drip-through system. Tubs that had to be carried over to the sink to rinse and drain twice a day was about as fancy as I ever got. I didn’t even poke drainage holes, I just used the lids they came with.
If you want something like the boxes in the store, start with the box. Any tupperware will work, just remember the lid should be set loosely so the sprouts can breathe. If you’re carefull when rinsing them, the roots will lock together around the 3rd or 4th day, forming a dense mat. Pick a side of the mat to be the top, and make sure it always faces up after you’re done rinsing. That’s how the ones at the store end up looking that way.
Thank You! I will try that.
