      Indoor Gardening - Elizabeth Lee

      Introduction

      By choosing to by this book you have taken the first step in creating a wonderful indoor garden.  You are going to discover how simple it is to be eating healthy fruits and vegetables all year long.  You can throw out all the excuses about not having room or not having the time for a traditional garden.

      There are several things that you will have to take into consideration when you are planning your garden and this book will help you make the needed decisions.  Once you begin reading this book you will come to understand that you have nothing to worry about you will be able to do it with little trouble.

      You are going to be ready to make your own seedlings, set up your garden to your specifications, get the humidity levels right, make your own soil mixtures, and your own compost.  It sounds like a lot to learn, but, this book is designed with the beginner in mind to make sure that everything is clear.  People that are old hands at gardening may find themselves learning a thing or two as well.

      This isn’t just about growing some vegetables and fruit indoors; it is also about choosing some healthier alternatives to eating.  This is a fun and relaxing way to get your family together and spend quality time.  You can also make this a learning adventure for the children in your home by teaching them about the different types of plants you are growing.

      You will discover that the only limitations you have to worry about are the limitations you put on yourself.  Just about any plant you can grow outdoors you can grow indoors as long as you follow the recommendations.  You do want to keep things in perspective for example you don’t want to be growing a thirty foot tall tree in your living room.  You are even going to be armed with recipes for making your own organic soils and creating your own compost.  You will even learn how things you have at home can be used as fertilizer to save you money to make your plants look great. 

      As an added bonus you will learn about the best ways to grow succulents in your home.  Many people love the look of these plants, but, find them difficult to keep alive indoors.  After reading the bonus chapter you will be able to keep succulents growing year around inside your home.  You will also know which succulents are going to do the best in an indoor environment. 

      To sum it all up so you can get started; if you read this book you can create a healthy, wonderful indoor garden and all your friends will think you have a green thumb.

      Chapter 1 – The Benefits of Indoor Gardening

      How many times have you found yourself thinking that you wish you had a garden, but, you just don’t have the space or you think you can’t because you live in an apartment.  Throw those excuses out with the canned goods and get ready to have your own garden no matter where you live, how bad the soil is, or how little space you have.  By the end of this book you will be an indoor gardening expert. 

      With indoor gardening you can have fresh home grown vegetables and herbs throughout the year; yes, even in the cold and blistery winter time when plants outside where plants will freeze and not produce a harvest.  There are not a whole lot of restrictions as to what you can do with an indoor garden and this book is going to show you exactly how to be eating fresh vegetables while your neighbors are still buying canned goods.

      In the next few sections and throughout this chapter you will learn more about the health benefits of indoor gardening.

      Healthier Eating

      Not only is having an indoor garden fun it is also beneficial to your health and well being.  You will be eating fresh produce that doesn’t have a bunch of chemicals sprayed on it and it isn’t coated with a layer of thin wax to make it look more appealing like they do in a lot of super markets. 

      You will also know exactly where it was grown and what process it went through to get to the table.  That means no added preservatives to keep it fresh in the can for several years.  You also won’t be filling your body with loads of salt that are a big part of those preservatives.  These things alone can help your well being and keep you healthier.  This can help to cut down on the heart health risk related to sodium intake and eating fatty foods.

      Quality Air in Your Home

      If you remember your science classes from school then you know that all plants filter the air that surrounds them.  Through the filtration the plants will absorb gases in the air.  These gases include formaldehyde, benzene, acetone, xylene, chloroform, and trichloroethylene.  These gases can come from paint, stains, varnishes, particle board, and caulking compounds.  Other elements that can put bad chemicals into the air of your home are ceiling tiles, cigarettes, detergents, carpeting, and electric-photographic printers. 

      In just twenty-four hours plants are capable of removing 87% of the air toxins.  After absorbing the bad gases in the air the plant then emits oxygen into the air.  Plants will also increase the amount of humidity in the air creating oxygen-rich air in your home which will keep you, your children, and the family pets healthier.  According to NASA the English ivy is the top of the list of plants that improve air quality in a home or office.

      Induce Happiness

      It may sound a little too good, but, it is true; plants make people happier.  The simple task of caring for a plant and nurturing it can have a profound effect on how people think of themselves.  It produces a feeling of worthiness because even though it may be just watering a plant occasionally; they are taking care of another living thing. 

      Learning Opportunities

      All plants are different and they will require different things to thrive.  Growing
