🌿 From Seeds to Salad:

Follow Our Journey With Combo 1 and Join the Wellness Movement

Health and wellness don't have to wait for the perfect season or the perfect garden. They begin right at home—with a handful of seeds, a windowsill, and a commitment to care. That’s why we’re excited to lead by example and invite you to follow along as we grow Combo 1: Immune-Boosting Greens right in our own apartment kitchen, using the Kratky method and our own recycled-container system designed for small spaces.

We’re showing—not just telling—how you can take part in the growing movement toward year-round wellness.

👣 Step-by-Step: Watch Combo 1 Grow in Real Time

We’ll guide you through each stage of the growing process, using:

  • Our custom-designed food-safe recycled containers

  • Free seeds from Combo 1 (Arugula, Bee Balm, Dandelion Greens, Chives, Red Salad Bowl Lettuce)

  • Simple tools and support to get started indoors—no pumps or soil needed

We'll be sharing pictures and updates as each plant takes root and grows. You’ll see the same steps we use to get healthy greens from seed to salad, including:

✅ Planting
✅ Germination
✅ Transplanting into Kratky containers
✅ Growth cycle with real-time images
✅ First harvest and beyond

All this happens from a small kitchen in our apartment, proving that you don’t need much space to grow powerful wellness food.
