Ask HN: Indoor Gardening – What to Grow? • Hacker News Board

About 6 weeks ago I ordered two sprout growing systems, one circular with 4 levels, and one rectangular with 2 levels. For about $20 I also bought a collection of different types of sprouting seeds, weighing about 1.5 pounds.

Sprouts are great because you have something fresh to add to meals in just a few days. Currently, my wife and I order groceries delivered about every ten to twelve days so I start growing sprouts a few days before we will run out of fresh produce so we always have something fresh.

We bought them from Amazon. The best one is: Kitchen Crop VKP1200 Deluxe Kitchen Seed Sprouter, | 6" Diameter Trays

It is easier to clean than the other one.

Look up the website for your nearest "county extension" office. It will generally be a good source of gardening info for your specific location and may even have info specifically about container gardening.
