Countertop Gardens Review & GIVEAWAY

Curious about growing food indoors? Even if natural light is low? I am. So I decided to check out Countertop Gardens: Easily Grow Kitchen Edibles Indoors for Year-Round Enjoyment by Shelley Levis. Shelly shares a variety of methods for growing herbs, greens, fruits and vegetables indoors. Growing inside has never been easier. You wouldn't believe all of the innovative products designed for indoor growing. Shelly personally tested and sourced those discussed in her book. Alternatively she shows astonishing DIY options. Relying on 20 years of experience, she advises on the best edibles for indoor growing. They include varieties of tomatoes, herbs, mushrooms, peppers, strawberries, root vegetables, alliums, salad greens, sprouts, micro greens and edible flowers - as well as those to avoid. Chapters on Growing Basics (light, photosynthesis, fertilizer, water, air, ph, temperature, humidity) and Troubleshooting are very useful. Shelly is the passionate horticulturist, turned author, speaker and entrepreneur at Sow & Dipity, a thriving gardening blog. Her 160 page paperback from Cool Springs Press was released on June 19, 2018. Get your copy below!
