Boom Times for Garlic Growers Gourmet garlic is one of the easiest and most profitable cash crops for small growers and perfect for organic growers, as garlic has few pests and diseases thanks to its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Garlic is easy to plant, grow and harvest and the plants are compact, so a large amount of garlic can be grown in a small area. In fact, garlic can produce an income of up to $10 per square foot, so even a small garlic patch can bring in thousands of dollars.

Featuring over 100 delicious, garlic-laden recipes, this culinary biography offers a tour through the colorful history of one of the world’s most timeless ingredients Garlic is the Lord Byron of produce, a lusty rogue that charms and seduces you but runs off before dawn, leaving a bad taste in your mouth.

No writer has quite captured the epic, roving story of garlic—until now. While this book does not claim that garlic saved civilization (though it might cure whatever ails you), it does take us on a grand tour of its fascinating role in history, medicine, literature, and art; its controversial role in bigotry, mythology, and superstition; and its indispensable contribution to the great cuisines of the world. And just to make sure your appetite isn’t slighted, Garlic offers over 100 recipes featuring the beloved ingredient.

Big Profits from Small Plants Unlike most other specialty food crops, microgreens are easy to grow and can be ready to sell in about two weeks. They can be grown indoors or outdoors, so microgreens are a perfect crop for urban farmers who may not have access to a patch of dirt. Because microgreens are expensive, selling for $20 to $60 per pound, growers can produce a solid income in a very small space compared to traditional farming. For example, growing microgreens on a rack or shelving to grow vertically can produce several pounds per square foot per month. You can start a microgreens business with just a small amount of money - as little as a few hundred dollars for seeds and supplies. Here's what you'll find in this book: Best microgreens to grow - 15 varieties that are easy for beginners. Each plant listing includes growing tips and the most popular varieties. Microgreen mixes - 4 popular blends from a basic salad blend to a spicy Asian mix. Seed selection- a 10-point checklist for choosing the best seeds. 3 steps to a perfect microgreen crop - everything you need to know about planting growing and harvesting. Marketing your microgreens, including 3 best markets for getting top retail prices. Resources - videos for new growers and wholesale sources for seeds and supplies. Order Now and Start Growing!
