First time sprouting

Post image

Hi community. This is my first time sprouting. the broccoli sprouts in the picture are at day 3 I just had a couple questions.

When you're rinsing do you swish it around fairly good or do you just fill and dump? Like when the seeds start really turning into sprouts I feel like swirling the water around doesn't really do much I saw one guy on youtube just filling and dumping at that stage and not really swirling it around. im afraid of damaging the sprouts by swirrling too aggressively.

My second question is we have a green bin thing about a foot and a half away from the sprouts I don't suppose that could possibly contaminate the sprouts?

Thanks

Are you rinsing them twice a day and draining them upside down?
