Are you a person who longs for patience and tranquility in your life? Of course you are, but in our modern society who has the time? Now it's possible. With the items contained within this kit you can quickly and efficiently reach an inner peace that can take monks an entire lifetime to achieve. The secrets are now yours.

Zen - Without the Wait!
You get a 64 page book which details the semi-ancient techniques of The Art of the Bonsai Potato.

Rich in history: "within a 24-hour period all of the trees 'leapt from their pots like (untranslatable Chinese simile).' The growth spurt killed the entire ruling class as their palaces collapsed upon them."

Pragmatic: "(research) found that by using potatoes not only could you create astonishing (bonsai) in months rather than decades, but the plants did not require re-potting, fertilizer or even water. The Art of the Bonsai Potato was born."

This kit also contains a state-of-the-art, full-scale replica of an actual Bonsai Potato altar and a package of non-reflective irregular geo-particulate support medium.

Everything you need to achieve patience and inner peace FAST! All you supply is the potato!

This review is from: The Art of the Bonsai Potato Kit: Zen - Without the Wait! (Paperback)

I am way too busy to take care of anything that requires water everyday. The Bonsai Potato was perfect!!! The book was hysterical, and I actually got the potato to sprout! This is the perfect holiday gift for the people you have to buy a gift for...but don't know what to get. This book and a big fat Russet, and you are in business. I actually got the book as a gift, and now it's on the top of my shopping list.
