Wheat Grass Sprouting

I started a new batch of wheat grass in a recycled plastic container. The previous batch got yellow and dry on the ends of each grass blade. That is apparently what happens when you let it sit for too long before harvesting. I'll post updates on how well the plastic container works for growing the delicate blades. I am looking for a better option to keep the berries from molding in the process. As shown below, I had used the top of an egg carton, for which it held onto an excess of moisture and allowed for a nice colony of mold to grow between the sprouting berries.
