How To: Make a One-Pot Indoor Herb Garden

How To: Make a One-Pot Indoor Herb Garden



Basil, thyme, sage. These are indispensable herbs, and they grew in abundance on our front stoop all summer. It's too cold outdoors now, but we don't like paying $2.50 per packet at the supermarket.Fortunately it's not difficult to grow these herbs indoors - even in a tiny kitchen.One big pot, some potting soil, and a few herb plants are all you need. You should also have a sunny spot; the herbs will need plenty of direct sunshine.
