How do i grow my own herb garden in my apartment?

Answer 1

Plant the baby herbs in 10 inch terra cotta pots with saucers. Use Miracle Grow Organic Choice potting soil. Fill the pots to about an inch from the top. make a hole big enough for the plant. Pour water in the hole. Be gentle when you plant the babies and don't do it in direct sunlight. Pack the dirt around it lightly. Pour in a little bit more water. Keep them out of direct sunlight for a day, then put them on your balcony in the sun or you can keep them in a sunny window. Water them frequently. Pinch the tops off a lot and they will grow a lot more. Don't let them go to seed. When you see blooms, pinch them off or the plant will stop producing. Feed them with Miracle Grow about once a month at least.

Answer 2

Herbs need a lot of light, even a south facing window needs supplemental light. An in-expensive solution is to buy a fluorescent shop light and lamp it with one "cool white" and one "warm white" bulb (don't bother with expensive "grow lights", they're more for show than grow). Keep the light 4 to 6 inches from the top of the plants, raising it as the plants grow. RScott

Answer 3

I found that by using a strawberry container you can plant virtually many herbs. You fill the container with good planting material and where you would normally put the strawberries, you can add your favorite herb. You will need to ensure you water when dry.
