Anyone have good tips for an indoor herb garden?
I have never even had a real plant, but I’m interested in growing my own herbs indoors. Where is a good place to purchase what is needed for one? What are some helpful tips in growing and maintaining?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Lack of sufficient light is the main problem that most people have with regards to growing herbs indoors. Be sure to keep them in a sunny window or provide supplimental artificial light for them. Also try using a top quality potting soil, I use Miracle Gro because of the slow release fertilizer which lasts about 3 months. The easiest way to have a good start to your garden is to get small plants/seedlings from a nursery or garden shop.Their knowledgeable employees can be a great resource for growing any type of plant, indoors or out.

I usually see them advertised or available in stores around Christmas. Sometimes, however, you can find a few left on the shelves in discount stores like Wal-Mart, Target, or K-Mart. Drugstores may have them–the Walgreens in my area practically has a monopoly on them at Christmas so I’d bet that they have them year-round–especially something like the herbs. Have you tried the close-out type of stores–Big Lots,for instance?
Sandy asks…
I want to try and start an herb garden?
I really like cooking, and it’d be a lot more convenient and cheaper if I grew my own herbs.
I want to do it indoors though.
I live in northern Indiana, so in the winter it gets reallllllly cold.
But would putting them in a window still work?
I get that they’d be getting sunlight, but it’s still cold next to a window.
And what would be some good herbs to start with?
And how much and how often should I water them?
Do you think the library would have books about it too?

Hi growing your own herbs is a fantastic idea, some herbs that do good indoors are lavender, basil, oregano, rosemary, chamomile, and mint.
Putting them in a window sill would be a good idea preferably a window facing south it will provide the best sunlight. Most herbs require a moderate amount of sunlight but if they don’t get enough sunlight you can supplement by using a “grow lamp” or fluorescent lighting.
When watering over watering can be bad you just need to keep the soil moist all you need to do is keep an eye on your herbs not let the soil dry.
Water about once a week should be ample. A sign of over watering is yellowing of the leaves.
