Benefits to Growing Indoors

Growing indoors can be a first step to becoming self-sufficient for you and your family. You don’t have to wait too long to begin eating wholesome food. In as little as a few days, you can have sprouted microgreens at home. They are easy, quick, inexpensive, and fun!

Growing indoors provides healthy, nutritious food, but did you know that it helps you ‘clean up your air’? According to the EPA, most people spend approximately 90% of their time indoors; why not make your time indoors more nutritious, fruitful, and clean! Plants release phytochemicals that suppress mold spores and bacteria found in ambient air. Plant-filled rooms contain 50-60% fewer airborne molds and bacteria. Good indoor air quality is vital for good health.
