Have you ever thought about starting a new business that doesn't require a lot of time, space, and investment? In this book, I want to tell you about this new business idea that can allow you to make a thousand dollars or more a week!
Microgreens are a new category of vegetables that are harvested shortly after the first set of true leaves form. Some chefs in California have been using them since the mid-1980s, but the demand for microgreens has only recently grown exponentially. That's because microgreens are healthy foods that contain many more nutrients than plants harvested at an advanced stage of maturity. For this reason, they are recommended by nutritionists and are popular among healthy lifestyle enthusiasts and environmentally conscious people.Growing microgreens is quick and easy, with most microgreen varieties reaching a harvestable size in about two weeks, allowing for up to two dozen harvests in a year.
Only some basic equipment is needed, and you don't have to worry too much about the plants. You can grow microgreens in a spare room of your house or in a small garage. Once or twice a week, you can harvest and sell your microgreens.
In this book you will find:
Which microgreens are best to start with, which are the easiest to grow, and which are the most difficult
Step-by-step instructions for soil and hydroponic growing methods.
How to solve the most common problems with microgreens.
How to build a grow rack with readily available components without breaking the bank.

If you have no intention of selling your produce, but are curious to learn more about microgreens, I definitely recommend reading the book because this is not just a business book. Like I said, microgreens are incredible foods that are great for your health and are not easy to find on the market. By reading this volume, you will learn how to grow them yourself at home. This way you will always have a very fresh product with unique properties available for your consumption.
