How To Grow Your Own Herbs

To make the process of growing your own herbs as easy as possible, start by ditching the seeds and go with something that's already thriving from a nursery or garden center. Then, after re-potting the herbs into bigger containers, the rest is making sure you provide them with the two things they need to thrive: sun and moist soil.

If there's not a good spot in your home that has a lot of light, have no fear. That's where technology can come into play. By using energy-efficient LED grow lights, you can grow certain herbs in water with no soil year-round. All you need to do is add nutrients to the plants when it reminds you to.

Learning to grow basil, mint, cilantro, and other herbs allows you to handpick exactly what you need for each meal without letting the remaining bunch rot in your fridge before you can use it. Plus, meals are more delicious and eco-friendly when you can use your own herbs!
