Things You'll Need:
- Winter Savory (or beginner's herb of choice seeds)
- Indoor Herb Garden Pot
- One part potting soil, one part sand, and one part peat moss mix of soil blend
- time and patience!
-
Step 1
Start with your 1 gallon pot, I like to use ceramic pots for the simple matter of bringing more attraction to my herb garden. Ceramic pots can be fun to decorate, paint, or design as a craft too.
-
Step 2
Now you're going to need to add your soil to the pot of choice. This should be a mix of potting soil and sand. Some experts even suggest adding a hint of lime to your soil mix for optimum growth.
-
Step 3
Plant your herb seeds. These can be obtained at health market stores, or even on the internet. It's a good idea to buy extra seeds since this is your first time growing your own herb garden.
-
Step 4
Give your plant a nice place on a window seal that will let your herbs get atleast 6 hours of light everyday. To make sure the light is being evenly distributed to all parts of your herbs you may want to buy a rotational base for your pot, or atleast rotate them every once in a while.
-
Step 5
Water your herbs with room temperature water, giving your herbs time to dry out before watering sessions. Time and patience is key in growing your own herbs inside!
