You must be debating where to grow herbs in pots, containers or in your backyard. What place to use backyard, balcony, patio or use hanging herb baskets to grow herbs? All these questions are valid and useful to think in advance before drafting plan for herb container gardening. The first point is to set your garden size, regardless if you are growing indoor or outdoor. In case you are using indoor space such as close to kitchen or in your balcony etc. Note down dimensions of your area to be used for growing herbs. Divide marked area into manageable containers size. The popular containers used in indoor herb garden are 5-10 inches deep containers or 6″ cup for individual herb plant. In case you want to differentiate between herbs grow them in cluster in separate containers such as mint in one container and parsley in another container. You can also label your individual plant cups for easy identification. The 10 or 12″ can accommodate up to 4 herbs. You can grow 4 herbs of same type or variety in one container. Depending upon the size of the area you are using for herb garden you can add more containers. Ensure proper drainage is there in containers and are placed close to sunshine area. They need few hours of sunshine to survive. The real result of growing herbs will depend upon how well you design herb garden, what size of containers you use, how well you use potting soil and how well plants are given water and sunshine. Also not all herb plants can be grown in container, some plants are grow tall such as “Dill”, you don’t want small trees in your kitchen. All these factors are important in growing herbs in container. One of the reasons why herbs containers are placed close to kitchen is that you will see them when you are cooking. This will ensure their use in your daily cooking. The best practice is to first seed the herbs in individual plant cups, usually 6″ inch long. Wait for few days to week to let baby plant come out. Keep container ready with soil and make right depth for plant transplant from plant cup to container. Peel outer layer of plant cup without disturbing plant root and place it in herb container. Place soil around the plant in container. Ensure right amount of water is given to planted herb. Too much or little water can destroy the plant. Once all plant precautions are taken results will be in front of you in form of healthy herb plants. Read more on herb gardening and what containers to use for Herb…Basic Herb Mail this post

A container garden in living rooms, kitchens, patios, or walkways has become really common among gardeners. Container gardens are also very common for people who live in buildings or other places without garden space. They are often used for decoration, to enhance a room’s colors, to bring life into a room, or to give a room that fresh feeling. It isn’t a wonder then that container gardening has moved into bedrooms. Having a container garden in the bedrooms of your home is something that can dramatically change your room’s atmosphere. By just keeping a few potted plants around the room, or by the window, you can really enhance your room’s design, or alter a design altogether. The most practical place for your container garden in the bedroom is by the window. Investing in some window box containers makes container gardening easy, and it designates the plants to a specific spot, and most likely a spot that gets sunlight at that! If you can’t have a window box container, small pots that can sit on the window sill will also work. If you have a bedroom that gets an unusual amount of sunlight, usually bedrooms with windows that face east or west, then you can keep the plants in various places around the room. This is because you know that at one point during the day, your entire bedroom will be filled with sunlight, and that means your plants will be able to get the light and heat that they need to grow. If your container garden in your bedroom seems to be struggling, you can always move it closer to the window, or closer to where it can get more sun. The container garden in your bedroom should serve the purpose of decorating your room, and enhancing its colors. For example, if you have a daughter who loves flowers and “girl” colors, you can choose to plant lavender by her window. These pretty colored flowers can enhance the room’s look, it will make your daughter happy, plus their fragrance will fill her room and make it a pleasant place to rest in. Choosing lavender and similar plants, which can decorate your bedroom or serve the purpose of deodorizing a room can be very useful around the home. The container garden in your bedrooms should in fact serve these two purposes, and if they can do more than these, then they should. One way to do this is to plant herbs which flower. The flowers can decorate the room, and the herb leaves can be used in cooking too! This is great for those one bedroom apartments with the only other room being the living room which connects to a dining room and kitchen. Having the container plants in the bedroom can be useful to your culinary experiments, but they can make you feel better too! Need help in building your garden? Click on the link for more info.
