Want to start a Herbal Garden

Cool I am starting an indoor herb garden myself. I am not using a starter kit either. Just get the seeds for the herbs you want and follow the instructions on the package. If it calls for a certain amount of light and you don't have that amount of light for them you won't have much of a harvest. I didn't have enough light for long enough in our home so I went and bought an inexpensive grow light. That is worth it's weight in herbs or gold. :) Take note of the soil conditions required and be sure to watch the watering and you will do fine.

I'm glad I read your discussion before posting one just like it *smiles* I was wondering the same thing! I at the moment don't have enough money to buy a starter kit but I do have the seeds and soil to plant one indoors along with several nice terracotta pots. I have a large window seat to place the project on. I don't know if an energy efficient grow light would actually work. Hopefully more people will respond to your discussion!

That sounds like a very good thing for you to do. I would love to do something like that also. I have no idea where to start with it either.

Hi! I'm handicapped and need to do my gardening from an electric wheel chair. I especially like the "Earthbox" brand of plant container. It is simple to use. My boxes and up off the ground so that I can reach them easily. I use 2 cememt blocks and a 2" thick by 10" wide plank to hold them. They are easy to water and care for. One planter would hold many herbs of different types to meet your needs. I have six of them myself. Our weather is mild in the winter. But the planter could be inside in front of a window with a drip catcher. I've grown chives, celantro, basil and rosemary. I've also grown Cherry and Beefsteak tomatoes, sugar peas, cucumbers, squash and strawberries. I'm sure they are on line and even E-Bay. I hope you have happy gardening! Hugs...Signy

They sell herb seeds, buy some of those and some dirt. You can start them in cardboard egg cartons and by the time spring comes, you can just snip each plant's little nest away from the others and put them directly into the ground. They'll biodegrade and you won't have to disturb the little plants!
