Gardening Is Made Fun and Easy with Nourishmat

This Nourishmat post was brought to you by Earth Starter.  All opinions are my own.

Gardening is so much fun, but it is also a lot of work.  And I know it's easy to become overwhelmed with all of the details and choices.  Where do I need to plant?  How many seeds?  When?  What works well together?  What about the weeds?  There are just so many options, so I like that products like the Nourishmat have made it easier on us that don't have time to read all the gardening books.

The Nourishmat is a "pre-fab, paint-by-numbers 4×6 garden that helps kids and parents learn to grow food together."  Each mat comes with 19 varieties of seedballs that are planted into their marked spot in the mat so that they grow well together and actually help each other grow.  The seedballs include compost and worm castings that help the plants germinate and grow as well!

The Nourishmat is reusable up to five years (just reorder seedballs,) has built in irrigation (just link up a hose,) built in weed barrier, and contains a planting guide so you will know exactly when to plant.  Non-irrigated Nourishmats can be cut to fit existing raised garden beds.  The nineteen plant types included are:  tomato, eggplant, radish, red pepper, carrot, onion, kale, onion, arugula, spinach, salad bowl lettuce, rainbow chard, basil, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, chive, dill, parsley, marigold, and nasturtium.
