How To Make A One-Pot Indoor Herb Garden
Today’s feature is from Re-Nest with a nice tutorial for How To: Make a One-Pot Indoor Herb Garden
Basil, thyme, sage. These are indispensable herbs, and they grew in abundance on our front stoop all summer. It’s too cold outdoors now, but we don’t like paying $2.50 per packet at the supermarket.
Fortunately it’s not difficult to grow these herbs indoors - even in a tiny kitchen.
One big pot, some potting soil, and a few herb plants are all you need. You should also have a sunny spot; the herbs will need plenty of direct sunshine.
If you have the room in your kitchen (and a spot with lots of sun), this is one of those projects that serves you in a variety of ways–this is a frugal method to enjoying fresh herbs that you grow yourself, plus herb pots are pretty additions to any kitchen.
Nice instructions!
Herbs can be used in so many ways! Plan ahead and choose herbs to grow that will best serve your needs, if you like herb butters, homemade herbal cleaners or herbal health aids and beauty treats, grow the herbs that you will put to use most.
