Question

Can you grow them from packaged oatmeal bought at a store?

Community Answer

No, this won't work as most of the oats will have the husk removed by machine. It might work if they still have the husk, so you could try to sprout a few test oats before planting the whole packet but don't be surprised if this fails to work.

Question

How much water does it need?

Community Answer

Several days before planting your new seed, water the area to a depth of 6 to 8 inches. Measuring the depth of water penetration is easy! Simply insert a long screw driver into the ground. If it pushes down 6 to 8 inches without much resistance, you have the proper water saturation.
