Eco Friendly Homes

Some people just aren’t gardeners. They don’t want to get their hands dirty, and the whole thing about getting on their knees with the insects sends chills up their spines. There are some who can plant corn and grow beans. It’s just not worth the hassle for a great majority of working people to attempt to grow anything. If you feel this way, but would still like to have fresh herbs for your enjoyment, consider herb garden kits.

A simple format for a kit is a large tray with compartments to hold the different plants and a long fluorescent grow bulb mounted in some way above the tray. This doesn’t look that attractive, but it can get the job done. If you go this route, be sure to make provisions for water that runs off so it doesn’t go on your floor.

These interior kits do not provide a large quantity of herbs, but you can grow a half dozen or so in limited space. After 5 or 6 months, you can pick different herbs and start the process all over again.
Some of your plant stores may offer a few pots, potting soil and seeds and call this a kit, but it is not a true herb garden kit. When you start planting this way, you aren’t working from a kit, you’re actually gardening.
Herb garden kits can save you time and effort. If you can’t plant an actual exterior garden, this is a good alternative. If you like the first kit you use, you might want to have small gardens in several rooms of your house.
