Do the long months of winter leave you pining for fresh, flavorful garden produce? The MyGreens Light Garden is a compact, all-in- one growing system that will produce fresh greens and herbs week after week, all year long. It includes an adjustable-height light fixture, two T-5 bulbs, four growing trays, and our proprietary self-watering system inside a sturdy, waterproof reservoir base. The slim-profile high-efficiency fluorescent lamps use 20% less energy than conventional fluorescents, yet have a higher light output that encourages healthy growth. The electronic ballast eliminates that annoying buzzing and runs cool, so it can be placed safely anywhere, and prevents your salad greens from overheating so they retain their flavor. Four growing trays make succession planting easy. Every week or so, simply fill a tray with growing mix and plant your choice of seeds. There are no expensive seed modules to order, and no special fertilizer packs. When youve harvested your salad, simply wash out the tray (top-rack dishwasher-safe) and replant. The trays are part of a unique capillary system that regulates moisture without daily attention, fed from the one-gallon reservoir base. Use MyGreens to grow cut-and-come-again lettuce for maximum output. Grow spicy mixed greens to liven up bland supermarket salads — you wont believe the difference it makes! Or grow a tray of fresh cilantro, basil or parsley and save a fortune versus store-bought. Grow fresh herbs and salad green right on your kitchen counter Energy-efficient T-5 lamps for successful indoor growing Four growing trays for succession planting Each MyGreens growing tray holds about 2 quarts of Germinating Mix, sold separately Made for years of use, fits on almost any countertop and stores neatly away

The King Tuber Indoor Mushroom Garden Growing Temperature: 70 85 F This Nigerian mushroom (Pleurotus tuber-regium) forms a ”ball” (called a sclerotium) allowing it to rest for months. To activate simply bury in sand or gravel in the included container as pictured and mist once or twice a day. Boing! Mushrooms will sprout forming spikes and then grow like the crazy fun-guys that they are. This mushroom kit is certain to amaze you and your family. Each kit comes with illustrated instructions and is guaranteed to produce. Our indoor Mushroom Patches couldn’t be easier to care for; all you do is place the humidity tent we provide over the Patch and water it according to the instructions (in some cases an overnight soak in cold water might be needed to encourage the Patch to fruit). Be sure to use water that is neither chlorinated nor distilled: chlorinated water can kill the mushroom mycelium and distilled or heavily filtered water lacks vital nutrients that your mushrooms need to grow. Spring rain or well water work best although boiled tap water will also work well. All of Fungi Perfecti’s indoor and outdoor Mushroom Patches are Certified Organic by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. The amount of mushrooms you will get will vary from species to species and to some extent from Patch to Patch. For example the Shiitake Mushroom Patch will produce 2-3 pounds of mushrooms over a 12-16 week period in crops or flushes that will spring forth in approximately two week intervals. Fungi Perfecti’s indoor and outdoor Mushroom Patches consist of pure mushroom mycelium growing on a sterilized medium or substrate. The substrate used will vary depending on the mushroom being grown; for example the Shiitake Mushroom Patch grows on a mixture of enriched hardwood sawdust and wood chips while the Pearl Oyster Mushroom Patch grows in a bag of pasteurized wheat straw. All of our indoor Mushroom Patches are ‘
