Written with abundant enthusiasm, the author infects the reader with the desire to start sprouting TODAY. I have been cheerfully guided by this wonderful book and have managed to grow even difficult sprouts, such as chickpeas. The author recommends growing sprouts in baskets rather than the standard plastic containers. The plants look great in their various size baskets and make lovely decorative displays. I have also been using Liquid Kelp which the book advises. My sprouts are looking healthy and happy and so am I !
