After washing, soak the beans in tap
water at room temperature for eight hours. In
the cool season, use warm water (32ºC) for soaking.
Put the soaked beans in containers. Do
not fill the containers to more than 75% of their capacity to
avoid overflowing when the seeds sprout.
Apply a fine water spray or mist uniformly
over the seeds at 3-4 hour intervals during the hot season and
6-7 hours during the cool season. Apply just enough water
to keep the sprouts continuously moist without drying.
An overhead water pipe line fitted with
taps and movable water pipe or an automatic sprinkler system
connected to a timer is very convenient for watering.
