Summer is winding down, but that doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to all the deliciousness of organic, locally grown food. Here are four options that make it easy to continue growing food inside the comfort of your own home.
种植套件和一体式种植机很容易建立一个厨房花园。如果你的厨房没有很多窗户或地面空间,任何有充足的朝南窗户的房间都可以。确保你能轻松地把水带到那个地方,并且确保它能受到很好的保护,不受好奇的宠物或小孩的伤害。
Also remember that there are lots of growing kits out there on the market, but the best options are those with all organic ingredients (this includes potting soil, fertilizers, and seeds) and when possible, recycled or biodegradable planters.
Herbs –GrowBottle:One of the simplest hydroponic systems you’ll ever find, GrowBottle features a minimal design that utilizes reclaimed materials. The system is low tech and relies on wicking rather than a mechanical pumping system. The GrowBottle is reusable and is available in five different herb varieties: oregano, chives, basil, parsley and mint.
Mushrooms –Back to the Roots:This no-effort grow-at-home mushroom kit lets you grow up to 1 1/2 lbs of gourmet, tasty oyster mushrooms in as little as 10 days…right from the box! The same box can be used to grow at least two crops (though some have been able to grow up to four!) and the soil inside is made from 100 percent recycled coffee grounds. (Bonus! If you post a picture of your mushroom kit in action to the Back to the RootsFacebook page, they’ll donate a second kit to the school classroom of your choice!)
Strawberries –Windowsill Terrarium: Finding fresh, organic fruit is difficult in the winter months. But with this kit, you can grow your own sweet, delicious, 100 percent organic strawberries at home all year long! They’re easy to plant, fast to grow, and they only need 6 hours of sunlight per day.
Tomatoes (or anything!) –Grow Pillow:这种工具包,其独特的生长组合,是设计和测试结合了最新的发展,水培,商业农业和栽培床园艺-没有繁重的搬运和大量的时间和金钱的投资。生长枕头是一个独立的组合组件,当与水结合时,创造了一个100%有机的容器和促进植物健康生长的生长介质。当加水时,它小巧轻便的包装会膨胀到原来的4倍大。
