I been watching alot of videos on how to grow wheatgrass and what ive noticed is that alot of people grow it indoors, is there a reason for this? does wheatgrass do well outdoors?
 
Growing indoors or outdoors doesn't change the actual grass itself. Grow it right into the dirt or right into your garden but in the containers. Get some fresh seeds; rinse them; put them in a cup of clean water or filtered water; remove those floated seeds; cover and let them stand over one night indoor. The next day lay them flat on the potting ground; in an earth pot. Cover them with one layer of thin loose soil and a non-transparent lid to protect them from the light; and the birds.

Sprinkle everyday with filtered water; or clean water; or rain water. Remove the lid when the grass are long; continue growing until the grass reach about 15 cm (about 6 inches) tall, then it will be time for harvest.
 
If you are thinking about growing outside, it is a best idea. You can probably plant it outside anytime from mid-spring to mid-fall where you will have a great success. Just be using the mix of local and potting soil you could get very tasty and sweet wheatgrass. But you have to be patience because it takes a long time to grow. Outdoor wheatgrass has far higher nutritional content and much more chlorophyll, so it is pretty healthy to grow outdoors.
