Lack of outdoor space prevents many "garden lovers" from getting into gardening! Sometimes it is the weather, especially the cold season, which plays the part of the villain! But all is not lost, for some innovative person has come up with the idea of indoor herb container gardening!
The name itself gives an indication of what it is all about. Herbs are grown inside containers, within the house. This idea is definitely a money-saver, since herbs need no longer be purchased from the market. Also, the ready-to-use fresh herbs add to the flavor of any dish and improve the health of all your family members.
Here are a few pointers to help you get started in indoor herb container gardening--
(1) Popular herbs which any indoor herb container gardening project will recommend are--lavender, parsley, chives, mint, dill, rosemary and thyme.
(2) What do you think is the ideal location for your herb garden? Select an area either inside the kitchen itself, or somewhere near the kitchen. This ensures that they are always handy. Herbs benefit with a lot of sunlight; hence, a window sill should prove to be a good location.
(3) Now for the containers to grow your herbs. Since the plants are small in size, your entire "indoor herb container gardening" can be accomplished with the aid of a single large container! The arrangement can seem so attractive and colorful that visitors to your house automatically focus their attention on it!
Another option is to use a different container for each herb. Your choice should be based on the amount of space available for your indoor herb container gardening.
(4) You can go to the lengths of creativity while choosing appropriate containers for the plants! Anything and everything that is not being used in the house can act like a container. Just ensure that there are some holes in each container to allow excess water to drain out. Roots can get rotten, otherwise.
In the absence of a drainage system, the soil in each container should be given sufficient time to get dry, between watering sessions.
(5) Garden soil is not advised as a growing medium where indoor herb container gardening is concerned. True, some gardeners have attempted it and achieved success too. But it is still advisable to use commercial type soil found at gardening stores.
(6) Coming to the actual "planting" in indoor herb container gardening, if you are confident of your "green thumb", go in for seeds. Check beforehand that the seeds have not crossed their expiry date. If you are not so confident about yourself, get herb seedlings from a reliable source.
