An acquaintance of mine, Jonathan Mead (of Zen Habits) asks on Twitter: I’m looking for a book or how to on how to not kill your houseplants. Any suggestions?
So do you guys have a favourite gardening book or indoor gardening manual to suggest? Jonathan immediately found a book of interest which might be useful to people living in apartments or work in areas with little space for a large garden:
How to Grow Fresh Air: 50 House Plants that Purify Your Home or Office (Paperback)
Apparently it got 5/5 out of 40 Amazon reviews (that’s a lot – to me anyway). We’ll have to remember to add that to the FoodCycles future reference library.
PS. What I love about Jonathan is how his work always reminds me to take it easy. Lets see if I can work the zen of salad greens very soon…
