Starting Your Own Indoor Herb Garden
See more in General Gardening
If you happen to love cooking, you will definitely enjoy the variation of dishes you cook regularly. Even changing a few minor ingredients can make a big difference to the final dish, so it’s worth experimenting every time you go into the kitchen to cook a meal.
One of the nicest ways to add an extra something to your cooking is by using herbs and spices, and luckily it is very simple to create an indoor herb garden to make sure everything you use is as fresh as it possibly could be.
How do You Begin?
Think about where you could put your indoor herb garden to begin with. Most people put one on their kitchen windowsill as this usually promotes the most growth, but any position with a lot of sun will get great results.
You can purchase a ready made indoor herb garden, but it is also easy to create one yourself with the right container.What you need to do is fill it with compost and the herbs that you like then water it regularly.
You have two choices when it comes to a container – you can either use one long trough style container, which means your herbs may start to mix in with each other, or a number of separate pots which all stand on a long oblong shaped saucer. Either version looks great when you are creating your own indoor herb garden.
The Benefits of Having an Indoor Herb Garden
There are plenty of benefits – not least the fact that you can harvest your herbs as soon as they are growing plentifully. This gives you herbs that are at their freshest, which are ideal for cooking and much better than anything you could buy anywhere else.
An indoor herb garden also makes a great addition to any windowsill, and can be a little more unusual than using a plant or flowers to decorate your kitchen.Once you start to enjoy them, you can also try to dry some herbs and see if there is much of a difference in your cooking using the new method.
Lots of people find that an indoor herb garden is the easiest and most rewarding way to grow herbs at their home. An outdoor home herb garden one works well, but you won’t want to go outside to fetch some if the weather is bad!
