Hobbit & Iona
Hey Iona, I've been tinkering with my garden lately and wondered if you know any good books about growing mushrooms or herbs—anything that could help keep my pantry full of fresh things. It would be grand to learn from a brain like yours!
Sure, here are a few that usually help people keep a steady supply of herbs and mushrooms:
- “The Mushroom Cultivator” by Paul Stamets and J.S. Chilton – it covers the basics and a few advanced tricks.
- “Herb Gardening for Beginners” by L.L. Hill – practical, step‑by‑step, and it goes into soil, watering, and seasonal tips.
- “Growing Food Indoors” by David R. B. Jones – this one has a section on indoor mushroom kits that you can keep in a spare room.
- “The Complete Book of Herbs” by Peter and Janet C. Ewing – a classic reference with recipes, drying techniques, and storage ideas.
All of them have clear explanations and useful illustrations. Pick one that fits the space you have and the climate you’re in. Happy growing!
