Indoor Organic Herb Garden
Growing an organic herb garden is a delightful project. Indoor organic herb gardens have the advantage of being year-round, giving a continuous supply of fresh herbs. Herb ChoicesThere are many ways to decide which herbs to include in your organic herb garden. Italian Herb Garden ( Plant rosemary, oregano, basil, fennel, and chives ). Terra cotta containers will make your indoor organic herb garden look authentically old world. Fragrant Herb Garden ( Choose angelica, bergamot, catmint, chamomile, thyme, lavender, lemon balm, mint, and sage ). This organic herb garden is a natural air freshener. Tea Herb Garden, If you enjoy herbal teas, your organic herb garden might focus on appropriate herbs for your tea: catnip, chamomile, lavender, lemon grass, mint, and peppermint. ContainersYour indoor organic herb garden will not last long with such small thinking. Once your herbs are stabilized and growing well, transplant them into larger containers. If you want a large crop of herbs that is constantly being replenished in your organic herb garden, use 3 to 5 gallon containers. Container SoilIndoor organic herb gardens call for building organic soil. Indoor LightingAn indoor organic herb garden will need lighting, especially if your room is not sunny. Incandescent lights, even though called “grow lights”, are a poor choice for your indoor organic herb garden. The best choice for lighting your indoor organic herb garden is high intensity discharge lighting, often called HID lights. An indoor organic herb garden can be both useful and beautiful. |
