Reddit mentions of The After-Dinner Gardening Book

I am asthmatic so bad air days can be really bad for me. I have a special filter on my furnace which, was recommended by my allergist. And houseplants, lots of house plants. I have a variety of plants from philodendron, airplane plants to ficus and even an avocado tree. There are plants in most of the rooms in my home and it does make a difference.

You can add plants to your house by doing kitchen gardening. By that I mean you can plant seeds from avocados, oranges, lemons all kind of plants. This book is a great guide to growing plants for you house from the foods you eat: https://www.amazon.com/After-Dinner-Gardening-Book-Richard-Langer/dp/0898154502

I have had this book for years. I think I got it in 1974 and it is fun to read and give great guidance for growing plants.

When he wrote it, he too was living in an apartment in NYC and started growing things from the seeds and stems of this kitchen. It is a great read and was pretty amazing what you can get to grow.

HOWEVER
this video shows you why you need to start with unaltered food products. Langer didnt have to worry about what people were doing to his tubers back in 1969.
