I can't even begin to discuss the many benefits of herbs. Researchers seem to be pulling in evidence from multiple sources frequently these days that supports the health benefits of herbs.
One of the most gratifying ways to eat organic herbs is to grow them yourself. This is all fine and good for the summer months, but it's not all that helpful when the weather starts turning colder.
Luckily for you, growing herbs indoors is not at all impossible. You simply have to know how to go about doing it the right way.
Here are some tips for growing herbs indoors that should help you out if you dare to try it out this fall and winter.
- Not all herbs grow indoors. Don't try to force the growth of an herb indoors that simply isn't mean to be grown indoors. The best herbs for being grown inside are: geranium, bay leaf, thyme, chives, garlic, oregano, rosemary, mint, and parsley. Focus on growing herbs that easily grown indoors.
- If you're starting with brand new seeds, make sure they have low light at the beginning of their growth.
- Plant growth slows in the cold months. Only water when the surface soil is dry.
- Fertilize with a fish emulsion about once a month.
- Help the air circulation for the plants you're growing by placing a fan in their growing room.
