Green Garden Organics



Forty years, finally written down

Lou Duncanson never kept notes. He kept trays. What he knows lives in his hands, and it has taken this long to get any of it onto paper. One guide is out. The rest come one at a time, because he reads every line before it ships.

One payment. Yours to keep and print. Read the whole thing first

Every guide carries the same promise. Grow one tray the way it says. If it fails inside fourteen days, send Lou photographs of the tray and tell him what your room was running, and he sends your money back.


The list

Being written now


These are the questions Lou got asked and never answered on camera. Each one becomes a guide when he is satisfied it is right, and not before.

  • LightSpectrum, hours a day, and how to green up sunflower and pea. He spent an hour on film and never mentioned light once.
  • WaterWhat is in yours, whether chlorine matters, and when to change where you put it.
  • Soil mixesMore than one, because the mix changes with the crop and with the season.
  • Seed storageTemperature, container, and how long seed holds before germination starts dropping off.
  • Days to harvestWheatgrass, barley, sunflower, pea, broccoli, cilantro, buckwheat. One chart.
  • CilantroThe hardest crop in the business. Lou grows it anyway.
