DIY Simple Indoor Herb Garden

Written by Christi Thompson for Your Daily Thread

Attention all apartment dwellers! Beautify your indoor space with a simple, do-it-yourself, organic herb garden. By choosing easy-to-grow herbs, the right soil mixture, and a sunny spot near a window, even those with a not-so-green thumb can make a mini garden thrive. Many herbs are natural health remedies and just a sprinkle makes an average dinner divine.

Your Checklist:

  • A large pot with a hole for drainage and a tray underneath—a 13- 15″ container can hold four grown plants. (We love Green Pots from Ecosource—compostable pots made from rice hulls.)
  • Stones or gravel (just enough for the bottom of the pot to promote drainage).
  • Seeds such as basil, mint, thyme, oregano, sage, parsley, chives, rosemary (pick your favorites!).
  • Organic potting mix.

Get Started:

  1. Place the seeds about a ¼ – ½” deep and cover loosely with soil.
  2. Water the plants regularly so the soil stays moist.
  3. Find a sunny spot. Lush herbs love at least four to five hours of direct sunlight daily.
  4. Be patient. Some herbs may take up to 8-10 weeks to peek through.

Tips: Remember to cut leaves and stems from the top first rather than the sides. Add a burst of fresh flavor to omelets, salads, marinades, and pastas by cutting up fresh herbs right before using. Blend up your own homemade organic basil pesto. Add a sprig of mint to your afternoon tea. Enjoy watching your little garden grow!

In case you don’t have the time you can get all you need to build an indoor garden from Growace.

    With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues oof
    plagorism or copyright infringement? My site
    hass a lot of completely unique content I’ve eithsr authored myself oor outsourced but it appears a lot off it
    is popping it up all over the internet without
    my permission. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content
    from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate it.

    When it comes to the business world, the use of cell phones has become an essential tool
    that has greatly benefited businesses. The direction pointing at
    who knows what, followed by the hand on hip, as if attempting to communicate an emphasise on a point,
    to someone who maybe 1000 kilometres away. A used cell phone is not
    biodegradable because the plastics that are made for the
    phone do not break up in the soil over time.

    The product is recycled from plastic and as such Demilec USA is considered as
    a leader in “green and sustainable” material improvement along with unbeaten quality spray
    foam system. The energy efficient Green Building consultants at Thumbprint Endeavors,
    are committed to making organizations and businesses more environmentally conscious.
    As leaders we must think about the immediate, respond as appropriate and keep forward momentum, but
    that doesn’t mean every day must be treated as a sprint.

    Do you take out each of the local, state and federal taxes and handle each of the payroll stuff
    for me. I have foreclosures soon to occur on
    my first mortgage. It relies on if you’re buying on land deal,
    or what have you.
