You got a plant for your anniversary, for Mother's Day or from the funeral and don't know what to do with it. I can help. Can you think of any other activity you can do, in any weather, twelve months a year, at any age, regardless of physical limitation, whether you live alone or with someone?

Download or read book How to Grow Gorgeous Gardens Indoors with Modern Gardening Techniques written by Martha Stone and published by Martha Stone. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A patch of reds and violets in the living room, foliage that just warms up the room and vines that decorate the window… these are just some of the amazing visual effects indoor gardening can bring. While it could be fun and rewarding to toiling under the sun, tilling the soil and taking out weeds, it could also be equally engaging to grow plants in your own indoor garden. Indoor gardening is suitable not only for people with tight land spaces to work on, but also for different types of gardeners. A novice gardener may want to take a shot and see how he can successfully grow shrubs in containers, while a seasoned one may want to experiment how he can grow vines that climb the frames of his windows. A chef might even want to have constant access to herbs, right inside his own restaurant. Modern methods of indoor gardening made it possible to grow plants even with limited space, no soil and less sunlight. This means it is possible to see live plants in various colors right inside our living rooms. We could also just pick out strawberries and lettuces right outside our kitchen windows. As long as you use the system right, feed the plants in the right intervals and perform the basic aftercare and maintenance, indoor gardening could very well provide you with a decent supply of produce as well as ample amounts of visual therapy. This book will provide you with insights on how to best grow your selected plants under your roof without the fear of wilting and poor harvest. It will also walk you through the different methods and indoor gardening systems, how they work and their benefits. The book also provides a wide array of tips, to do’s and dont’s, and some essential reminders to make your indoor gardens year-round success.
Download or read book Year Round Indoor Salad Gardening written by Peter Burke and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Low-Tech, No-Grow-Lights Approach to Abundant Harvest Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening offers good news: with nothing more than a cupboard and a windowsill, you can grow all the fresh salad greens you need for the winter months (or throughout the entire year) with no lights, no pumps, and no greenhouse. Longtime gardener Peter Burke was tired of the growing season ending with the first frost, but due to his busy work schedule and family life, didn’t have the time or interest in high-input grow lights or greenhouses. Most techniques for growing what are commonly referred to as “microgreens” left him feeling overwhelmed and uninterested. There had to be a simpler way to grow greens for his family indoors. After some research and diligent experimenting, Burke discovered he was right—there was a way! And it was even easier than he ever could have hoped, and the greens more nutrient packed. He didn’t even need a south-facing window, and he already had most of the needed supplies just sitting in his pantry. The result: healthy, homegrown salad greens at a fraction of the cost of buying them at the market. The secret: start them in the dark. Growing “Soil Sprouts”—Burke’s own descriptive term for sprouted seeds grown in soil as opposed to in jars—employs a method that encourages a long stem without expansive roots, and provides delicious salad greens in just seven to ten days, way earlier than any other method, with much less work. Indeed, of all the ways to grow immature greens, this is the easiest and most productive technique. Forget about grow lights and heat lamps! This book is a revolutionary and inviting guide for both first-time and experienced gardeners in rural or urban environments. All you need is a windowsill or two. In fact, Burke has grown up to six pounds of greens per day using just the windowsills in his kitchen! Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening offers detailed step-by-step instructions to mastering this method (hint: it’s impossible not to succeed, it’s so easy!), tools and accessories to have on hand, seeds and greens varieties, soil and compost, trays and planters, shelving, harvest and storage, recipes, scaling up to serve local markets, and much more.
