How to Start a Window Herb Garden
Fresh herbs are an awesome way to add to your cooking. Consider creating your own herb garden and have fresh herbs at your disposable at all times. You can use any window you have in your home as long as it is accessible.
Items Needed:
- Herb seeds
- Window Sill
- Pots
- Soil
- Make a list of your favorite herbs for your window herb garden. You can choose any herbs you like but try to plant herbs you will actually use. Save time and money by only planting herbs you will use now and in the future.
- Study your window and see how much room is available. Large windows will allow you to create a larger herb garden.
- Purchase a window sill container that is designed to hang or sit on your window. You can purchase these at landscape businesses for fairly cheap. You may need to measure your window to make sure the pot is not too big or small for your chosen window.
- Put soil into your plant holder. You can use a deep rich soil to help your herbs grow up healthy.
- Start planting the herbs in the soil. Try not to overcrowd the herb garden with too much herbs. Instead, leave enough room for your herbs to grow up big and strong. Make little tags for the herbs; this is so you know what herb is growing in which area.
- Take care of your herbs. Give the little plants plenty of food and sunshine because this is the key to their successful growth.
