Price 36.00 - 40.00 USD
Indoor Gardening spells out step-by-step instructions on how to grow all your salad greens all winter with no special equipment. Author Peter Burke says, "My greenhouse is a house full of greens". With nothing more than a cupboard and a windowsill you will harvest all the geens you need for a daily salad. Not just any salad, the soil-grown greens harvested in only 7 to 10 days make a tossed salad of lush, cripsy greens with a variety of colors a textures. A gourmet treat every day. This book is a ‘field tested’ manual, the product of several years of presenting classes to first-time and experienced gardeners alike. Even kids can do this. The most common questions are addressed. For instance, “I don’t have a sunny southern window, can I still do this?” Yes, absolutely. Any window will work. Another frequent question, “I have mold on my plants!” No. that fuzzy stuff is just root hairs growing from the stem. The Indoor Garden motto is “You can’t mess this up” so give it a try. Indoor Gardening is perfect for localvores or the 100 Mile Diet, what could be more local than your windowsill? The nutrient-rich greens can be a welcome food source in the dead of winter; they’ll put color in your cheeks! It works just as well in an apartment as a big homestead kitchen. Even a dorm room can be an indoor garden. The Bonus Section “Indoor Farming” explains how to make extra income using the same techniques as Indoor Gardening to grow greens for cash. The abundant greens are a great addition to a Farm Stand, Farmers Market or a CSA (Consumer Supported Agriculture) Share. The Daily Gardener Series: Volume I
