How to Start an Apartment Garden
Wednesday, May 18 2011 08:09
Want to start up a little garden, but think you do not have room in your apartment. Well think again. Here are some ideas on how to start an apartment garden.
Herbs are the easiest to grow inside. They are small and take up very little room. There are many kits out there and instructions guides to show you how. To start an apartment garden, decide on what kinds of things you would like to grow.
If you enjoy cooking, you will really enjoy having a little herb garden right inside your kitchen. It will save you money as well. Instead of running to the store to by a large bunch of herbs for just a tiny amount needed in your favorite recipe, you can now just snip off the amount that you need. And let’s face it; fresh herbs always make things taste better.
Go to your local nursery or gardening center and talk to the employees there on how to start an apartment garden. They can either give you tips on how to start your own with containers that you have laying around your apartment already, or direct you to where the kits are. There are several options of kits that you can buy. Even the makers of Chia Pet now have the Chia Gourmet Herb Garden offering seeds for curled parsley, dill, cilantro, chives, sweet marjoram, chives and sweet basil. Rosemary, thyme, mint and sage also grow very well indoors.
Now that you have the seeds and containers that you need, here is how to start an apartment garden. Make sure that you use fertilizer in the containers before you plant the seed. After planting the seeds, set your pots somewhere where they will get plenty of light. Water only as needed. Overwatering your herbs will kill them. Indoor herbs need much less watering since the sun and heat does not evaporate excess water. And lastly, make sure to prune your herbs. If you use them regularly, you will not need to do this, however if you let them grow too much you will end up killing the plant.
If you really enjoy cooking, setting up apartment herb gardens will benefit you greatly. You will save money on wasted unused herbs and trips to the grocery store. With just a little time and effort you will have herbs to use of your very own.
