“Would you like to clone your favorite type of tomato? Or how about a piece of cloned
lemon basil for your chicken recipes or salads? These ideas could be unique gifts of knowledge to give as Christmas presents to your favorite ecco-conscious person.
According to Seth Boyer, owner of the Indoor Gardening shop, he claims that the cloned products taste much better than store bought. The cloning process includes cutting off a piece of a plant, placing the piece in a hormone solution and then put the item to be cloned under lights in a cloning machine. In a couple of days, the piece will produce roots and will continue to grow.
“Most of our commercial food is bred for shipping to stores for sale. Using the highest quality natural products is much better than synthetic chemicals,” he said. Growing plants at home will produce a better tasting product.
This fascinating concept is just one of the many discoveries that can lead to a new way to enjoy gardening. Among other systems that are available in the shop is the use of indoor high intensity discharge (H.I.D.) fluorescent lighting that mimics the effects of the sun.
Seth said he sells the highest quality ingredients including natural fertilizers, hydroponics supplies, compost tea, metabolic grow and bloom formulas and fish emulsions.
“Fish emulsions were first used by the Indians who used discarded fish parts as
fertilizer, placing the guts and fins in the ground under the planted seeds. We have a fish mix that comes from Alaska that continues that same Indian system by using discarded fish parts,” Seth said.
This scientific method is better for your plants than the popular growing product that is equal to junk food for your plants, according to the knowledgeable owner.
Gallons of natural products include guano collected from bats and seabirds. Mexican Bat Guano and Seabird Guano collected from the “depositors” are bottles or bags filled with “poop” used as fertilizers. Decomposing liquids, botanicals, sweeteners for use on strawberry plants, lighting and so many more natural products line the shelves.
Seth is a New Jersey resident and first became interested in organic gardening when he watched his mother raise natural herbs, eggplant and squash indoors. He grew up in a town near Harrisburg called “Enola” watching his grandfather, father and brothers raise crops on the farm.
Seth is not partial to certain products. Instead he offers suggestions and recommendations for any product that will help the customers in their quest for growing indoor and outdoor hydroponic plants.
