Some Tips on Indoor Herb Gardening

In fact, everything you need for an herb garden is a cool sunny spot and the following supplies
•    Small containers or Six-inch pots
•    Small stones or bark chips for the bottom of containers
•    Good soil with all the nutrients needed by herbs.
•    Ventilation- you can put a small, oscillating fan
•    Herb seeds or bulbs.
•    Light- Herbs prefer about 10-12 hours of sunlight daily; you may need to buy supplemental grow light.

Some Tips on Planting
•    The first thing that can be done is placing a layer of small stones and bark chips at the bottom of the herb pot. Secondly the pot should be filled with good soil.
•    If you are going to plant seeds or small bulbs, they should be buried under the soil surface 1 in apart across the whole surface.
•    Herbs typically grow in one pot for just one season; once their roots begin bursting out of the container, they should be transplanted to a bigger area. It is up to you either to remove herbs from their pots and position them in holes dug into the potting soil, or plant them along with their pots in the potting soil.

The Easy to Grow- indoor herbs
