Perfect for busy millennials and urban dwellers, this low-tech method uses simple pantry supplies and windowsills to deliver abundant, fresh salad greens year-round, saving money and boosting wellness effortlessly. ## Description 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. Review: Delivers what is promised. One of the best micro green/ soil sprout books. - I got several other books on growing micro greens at the same time I got this one. If you want to grow micro greens or as the author calls them "soil sprouts", this book is by far the easiest to understand and to follow, and highly recommended for beginners. There are detailed instructions and photos. For some reason I can not get my sun flower sprouts to grow with out mold, (I am still trying. It's not the book's fault), so I moved on to trying some other seeds with great success. I tried the wheat grass (foolproof), pak choy (great), and the buckwheat "lettuce" (delicious). I was afraid the pak choy would taste too strong in my salads, but that is not the case. I do not use the aluminum foil pans that the author recommends, as I am too afraid the aluminum will leach into the food, so I recycle the clear plastic bins that my spinach and lettuce come in from the supermarket. I just cut down the box a little. No need to put in drainage holes, as he explains. Since my house thermostat is set on a pretty cool setting, and it is winter here in the Midwest, I have been using some heating mats specifically made for starting seedlings during the incubation period. Other than that, no growing lights have been necessary. I did not have confidence that I could grow soil sprouts even though I have been highly successful growing alfalfa sprouts without soil. I felt very intimidated by growing soil sprouts, but I wanted a way to grow my own food in the cold winter months. This book definitely delivers. I am now adding many handfuls of luscious sprouts to my salads, and the hubby likes them too. Today I am planted my first batch of lettuce mix. We will see how it goes. I definitely will be branching out and trying lots of different types of seeds. I grow trays of the wheat grass for me to juice, and a special little tray of wheat grass for my cat, who loves to stick his nose in the grass and sniff. Seeing green things growing in my house makes my heart happy, and it sure is great that I can eat them too! Review: It really works - I thought it would be a good idea to find out how to grow some of our own food year-round. I read every word in this book and followed the instructions to the letter. Still, I was skeptical that anything would grow. I held my breath (figuratively) for 4 days while my trays spent their time in the dark. For my first try I planted only 3 types-- sunflower, pea and broccoli. I put the 3 foil pans in a box with a lid and placed it on top of the freezer, where it was quite warm. On the 4th day when I took off the lid I found that all my seeds had sprouted and the sprouts were 3" tall! (Not one inch like the author said they would be.) Today, one week after the planting, I harvested the sunflower sprouts. They were getting so tall that they would not stand up, and they were all tangled up. Also, I could see the beginning of another leaf between the original leaves. The author said that this is the signal to harvest, so I did. I am excited about this new gardening adventure. I am so in love with my sprouts. Update-- March 2023. I've been growing sprouts using the method in this book for 7 months. I've found that the 5 basics recommended by the author are still the best. That would be sunflower, buckwheat, pea, broccoli and radish. I also tried lentils with some success, and adzuki beans with no results. Maybe the seeds were bad. My favorites to grow are sunflower, buckwheat and pea because the hulls fall off on their own. The radish sprouts need to be de-hulled but aren't too bad. The broccoli sprouts are difficult to de-hull, but because they are so tiny I end up eating some of them. I've found buckwheat to be the fastest growing and most productive, and also delicious. During the winter it took the seeds of all the sprouts longer to germinate (usually 5 days) and they grew slower when placed in the sun. I usually plant a new crop every 5 days. As soon as the pans come out of the dark, a new set goes into the dark. It's a very rewarding activity! ## Features - Ships from Vermont ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #53,778 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #14 in Raw Cooking #15 in Container Gardening (Books) #19 in House Plant Gardening | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 479 Reviews | ## Images ![Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening: How to Grow Nutrient-Dense, Soil-Sprouted Greens in Less Than 10 days - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811ZVO9+eLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delivers what is promised.

It is inspiring the photos are great and practically speaking it creates a very simple easy to follow method for creating a continuous bounty of healthy harvest for anyone so inclined to take just a few minutes A-day.
