Growing Herbs In Pots is a post from: HerbGardenFacts.com

You can have all sorts of containers – varied pots, galvanized steel or tin pails, old cook wares from casseroles to bowls, including the broken ones, old tires and just about any empty container you have.

When you have the containers and the herbs, you can start your petite home herb gardens. The containers will have to cleaned thoroughly, the same goes for brand new pots. They have to be dirt free so as to not allow early formation of moss, molds and unhelpful bacteria.

Below are two ways you can utilize the container gardening technique.

Indoor Herb Garden

Most annuals are suitable for indoor gardens. Some of these are basil, anise, borage, geranium, chives, and rosemary. These herbs are usually low maintenance. They just need well tilled soil, minimal exposure to the sun and regular watering. Place them near window sills and door openings. However, each plant has different tolerance with sunlight. Some plants like geraniums need full sunshine once in a while. Having a timetable on when to take your herbs outside will be a good idea. When growing herbs in pots indoors, it would be best to choose the lightweight ones, so whenever you need to bring them out, you can easily carry them.

Also, there are several ways to minimize space consumption. You can hang your pots with plastic or metal chains if your windows have railings. You could also place the containers on one side of your counter top or where it is most accessible to you when you are cooking.

For aromatic herbs, place them in tables where the most traffic in your house goes through. It would be even a refreshing centerpiece for your dining table. Instead of potpourri, why not use aromatic herbs in your bathroom. You will realize that when the steam goes off, so does the scent of the plants. This is because of the herbs’ essential oils reacting to some heat. Also, place a small pot of any aromatic herb that could help you relax before you go to sleep. The lavender will be a good choice.

Outdoor Herb Garden

An outdoor garden is usually associated with vast lawns and wide-stretching backyards. Even if your outdoor lot is as small as a storage room, you still could have a nice outdoor garden. Most perennials and evergreens grow best in outside environments. They need as much sunlight as they could have.

You can use old tires and variedly sized pots to create a tiered outdoor garden. Have the biggest pots placed in the bottom and them pile up to the smallest pots. This will allow your herbs the right position to grow. Just be sure to take note that it is not necessary that the big pots contain the big plants. You could have the herbs with small root growth in clusters for more thickness. Deep pots are best options for those with sporadic and expansive root growth. Place them in the middle of the tier. You can use any pot to contribute to the aesthetics of your outdoors.

With the container technique, having diverse herb gardens is truly possible to work for your comfort and convenience.

Using You Small Spaces to Grow Herbs is a post from: HerbGardenFacts.com

Window herb gardens require only a pot to put the herbs in, of course the seeds, some fertilizer or just plain dirt, some water and a lot of love and attention. Herbs aren't very difficult to grow. As long as you pay attention to them and give them the water they need, and you put them in a window that gets a lot of sunshine, you will see your herbs grow big and strong without you really needing to do anything.

Adds Color

The best part about having a window herb garden, except for the fact that you’ll have a healthy supply of herbs for all your cooking needs, is that you will add color to your windows. Beautiful greens and whites, some yellows and other lush colors is what you get when you finally successfully grow all your own herbs in your window herb garden. First, you need to grow them.

Getting Started

If you don’t have a green thumb and you have no idea about growing herbs in pots, even weeds, then you should do a little research first. You can get pre-planted herbs in some stores and all you need to do is water them to have them grow. But you should be able to look up herb growing on the internet to get all the tips and tricks you’ll ever need to grow all your favorite herbs in your own window herb garden.

Then, all you’ll need is a pot or a trough, some soil, some herb seeds, water and sunlight and then you can sit back and watch your herbs grow in your window herb garden. You’ll always have a fresh supply of herbs so no matter when you need them, you’ll always have them.

Window Herb Gardens Colors and Flavors Any Window is a post from: HerbGardenFacts.com

Here are some key points explained in establishing an indoor garden.

Knowing the easy-to-grow indoor herbs

Annuals are the best type for indoor gardens. Due to the fact that their lifespan is limited, they cannot be exposed continuously to changing weathers. Their roots usually have small growth; hence they cannot withstand the outside environment. Their leaves would easily wither and they could be easily uprooted.

Some varieties of basil like Thai, Holy Basil or Tulsi and lemon, chives, scented geranium, lavender, rosemary, sweet woodruff and lemon verbena are some of the annuals appropriate in indoor settings. These could be grown in small pots and they do not need constant exposure to sunlight. However, you need to take some outdoors once in a while. These would be further explained in the succeeding parts.

On the other hand, some perennials could also survive in indoor environments. They just need seasonal outdoor exposure.

Having the right locations

Window areas, door openings, atriums and any area inside your house with natural lighting or close proximity to outside ventilation are the most suitable places for indoor herbs. Place them near the windows in the kitchen which should always be left open or at least ajar. Just a few hours under ample sunlight is all it takes to make your plants healthier.

If you are into aromatic herbs, you most definitely want them placed in various parts of the house. But be sure to take them outside for at least one, at most three hours daily. Too much sunlight will cause their roots to dry up and that would result to frequent wilting of the leaves.

Perennials could also stay indoors but as much as possible expose them to sunlight regularly. Allot them the spots where there is most sun exposure. If you happen to have limited spaces near the open areas, another option is to use chains to hang them.

Taking care of the herbs – on watering, pruning and soil maintenance

Indoor plants need as much water as outdoor plants. You can have them watered every other two days. But never drown the soil as this will make it too soggy to absorb other nutrients from the soil.

You can also do occasional pruning. But do not remove drying foliage immediately. Letting them just fall on the pot will turn them into fertilizers. However, if there are too many falling leaves, you will have to take away some of them. It may kill the roots if they are too moist.

Your soil should have regular peat moss or compost supplements. At least every three months, make it a point to dig up an inch from the surface and put in a new batch. This is also a basic in growing herbs in pots.

Before annuals die, start repotting so you would not have to start planting all over. Trim off a healthy part of the herb. Each cut piece should have some roots and foliage already this will make it easier for you to grow them.

Now these three easy key methods would ensure you of a flourishing indoor herb garden all year round.

The size of the container is very important. A pot that is too small can restrict your herb, eventually causing it to die. The nutrients tend to settle in the bottom of the pot, and if it the pot is too large the young roots can not be able to reach them.

I don’t recommend plastic containers, simply because they do not allow the sod to breathe the way that a terra cotta container does. Even though I don’t use plastic pots, I do use a lot of different shapes, sizes and colors to add variety to my stoop.

After you have selected your containers, it’s a nice idea to add compost to the potting soil before you add your herb plants. Now I make my own compost, but you can get compost at a greenhouse or home improvement store. Another thing I like to do is add a small bit of sand to each container.

Some nice choices for herbs to cultivate in pots are:

• Dill: With dill, you can’t go wrong. It is without a doubt one of the best choices for an easy herb. Using seeds is a great way to start your dill, and it self-seeds so it can do all the work for the rest of the growing season. Use a well-drained container and put it so that your dill herb can get full sunlight. Dill is also gratifying in that you can harvest it not long after you plant it because it grows so quickly. You can clip off the leaves, flowers and seedheads and use them immediately, freeze them or dry them for the future.

• Garlic: You can start garlic in either spring or fall. It is best to plant it about two inches deep with the clove pointing up, making sure that the dirt is well drained and the garlic will get direct natural light. It loves to be watered often and adding some nice compost can help it persist. You’ll soon notice that the tops of your garlic are bending over which means that it’s ready to be harvested. After you unearth the bulbs, you’ll want to spread them out on a flat surface to dry and after about a week their skins can start to resemble that of store-bought garlic. Then you’re ready to enjoy!

• Lavender: If you want to grow your own lavender plant—and who wouldn’t—do not bother with seeds because you’ll be waiting forever. The best thing to do is begin with a little lavender herb which you can pick up at the local nursery. It is essential that the pot you choose for your lavender plant allows for good drainage, is large enough to provide plenty of space for the roots and also allows for mulch. Lavender loves full sun, so find a nice bright place on your patio or balcony for this happy small herb. Use the dried blooms in potpourri and sachets. There is really no place you can’t put these small treasures.

• Yarrow: With all the colors that yarrow comes in the options for brilliant dried floral arrangements and wreaths are endless. You can try yarrow to make some great soaps, shampoos and lotions. It really doesn’t matter if you choose to start this herb with a young herb or with seeds. Unlike most herbs, yarrow is adaptable and therefore able to do well in moist earth as well as well-drained earth. It can persist in full sun or in a semi-shady place. After it begins to bloom you can snip off the buds to be dried in a cool, dark place.

Good luck with your herb gardening. Be sure to let me know how your herb garden grows.

Outdoor Container Gardening is a post from: HerbGardenFacts.com

All plants need three main things in order to grow successfully; sunlight, soil and water.Herbs are not an exception.Be sure your herb garden gets plenty of sunlight, especially if grown indoors.The best rooms for an indoor herb garden is kitchen or room with a south or west facing window for plenty of sunlight.  Different types of herbs have different light requirements but, for the most part, all need a sunny location.Some home gardeners supplement their light with “grow lamps” or fluorescent lamps.Herb plants grow best in soil that is not too rich and is well drained.For well drained soil for container herbs, you can add two parts potting soil with one part sand or perlite.To keep roots from sitting in water, pour about an inch of gravel into the bottom of your pots.  Herb grown in pots indoors can also be supplemented with one teaspoon of lime per 5-inch pot to ensure that the soil is sweet enough for the herbs.Herbs grown in pots need enough water but not too much.Adding a little water to the pebbles and misting your plants will help create a humid condition.  Since they are being grown in containers they do need to have more water then herbs that are grown in a garden but, you should avoid getting the roots of the herbs drenched or soggy.

An advantage to growing herbs in a container is that you have the freedom to move them about as you please.You can keep your annual herbs indoors all year, but perennials are best taken outdoors during the summer.Bring your herbs in before the first frost to avoid damage.However, this rule does not apply to mint, tarragon or chives.These herbs go into a resting period then firmer, fresh growth appears after being introduced to a light frost.

While most herbs can be grown in containers, some will grow better than others.Mint is an aggressive herb and must be kept contained.  Over all it is fairly easy to maintain an indoor herb garden.  It keeps the herbs handy and within reach anytime you need them for cooking.  With these tips listed above, you will be able to care for your herbs and ensure a healthy plant.Periodic light feeding and repotting every year will keep your herbs healthy.  You will also have to remember to replant annuals each year and move perennials outdoors when needed.And, pick your herbs as often as you like and harvest them on occasion.Occasional pruning of your herb plants will encourage new growth.  This rule also applies to herbs.  So use your home grown herbs in your recipes, store them and give them away to friends.
