Growing Herbs in Container

Using a herb garden kit can be a short cut to getting your herb garden alive. Often the lack of knowledge holds us back. We might wonder about things like: do some herbs do better if they are grown from seeds, and which ones? Which kind of soil should we use? All herb garden kits usually include these kinds of information.

Usually herb garden kits contain a large variety of herbs such as Italian herbs, German herbs, international herbs, herbal tea herbs, salsa herbs or culinary herbs… These are just categories.


All kits are slightly different but they all contain items with which to get started with. In addition, some kits may contain a growing dome that helps providing a constant temperature and humidity to help the plants to grow a healthy root system and to thrive. Herb Garden Kits always include an instructional guide with all the information needed to get started. Sometimes you may also get recipes so you can use the herbs you are growing.

Herb Garden Kits are also sold on the Internet and some sites will offer a newsletter you can sign up for and which will hopefully provide additional useful information.  You will also most certainly get the planter in which to grow the plants.  Again, all kits are different but, most kits will also provide either soil or pellets.

An Indoor Herb Garden Kit has many benefits because it is easier to enjoy the herbs as they will always be within reach and you don’t have to trek out to the garden to add a little seasoning in the salad.  In addition, the temperature being more or less constant indoors, it provides constant growing conditions to the herbs which is largely appreciated by these small plants. Besides, a compact Indoor Herb Garden Kit is very convenient for small apartments.

You do not need either to worry either about winterizing herb plants or about which area of the garden will ensure the right amount of light for each plant, nor if the amount of rain is right, as too much rain can be fatal to most herb plants.

By growing herbs indoors with a complete instructional guide, you are able to take the guess work out of this hobby.  Your herbs will be successful every time. (If you want my very own step-by-step guide in growing herbs, something I learned from over 20 years of experience as a gardener, you’ll find more about it here.)

Using this method might not give you the same feeling of accomplishment as growing them all on you own. But all new expertise has to be acquired and needs practice. By using a Herbal Kit you get to learn a new and useful hobby in an easy manner. When you get a little bit “seasoned” and get to know the different herbs, you will be able to move them to you garden and you’ll be on your way to becoming an expert in the art of growing herbs.
