A good kit will answer many of those questions for you, primarily about what soil to use and what plants to start with.
Herb garden kits come in many shapes and forms. Deciding which to buy is sort of like deciding on a car. Do you want a zippy sports car, a sedan, a coup, a limo, a truck, etc. You need to decide what it is you want out of an herb garden before proceeding. Herb garden kits are available in many different categories including culinary, Italian, medicinal, herbal tea, German and many more. They come full equipped with seeds, planting media and instructions so you can get started almost immediately.
Glass or plastic domes are frequent parts of many of the herb garden kits you will find. These will fit over the top of your plantings and provide proper humidity and stabilized temperatures.Some will include recipe booklets and information of how to harvest and store them herbs. Just be sure before you start that you at least have some idea of what you want to get out of your herb garden so that you choose your kit appropriately. All kits will include the seeds and the soil mix (or pellet mix) to get you started.
Having your own little herb garden, even if it’s just a starter garden and you plan to move it outdoors when the time is right, will be a tremendous source of convenience and pleasure. You will have access to free and fresh herbs for your cooking any time you want, and the taste benefits might increase your reputation as a gourmet chef. You will also enjoy the visual appeal of green Mother Nature growing in your living space.
All the materials and the instructions you need to maintain the water/ temperature/humidity condition best suited for your little garden will be provided, and doing what needs to be done will get increasingly each day. As with all things, there is a learning curve but with the responsiveness of a herb garden, you will find that you learn quite quickly what works and what doesn’t. The herb garden kit gives you a tremendous advantage on several levels. The cost, both in time and money (is there a differences) is very low, and you will be spared the anxiety of not having the information you will need when you need it.
You will likely find that once you get started growing your herb garden kit, your interest will grow right along with it and you might likely get hooked.I’m not predicting you will sell your apartment and buy a farm, but I will say that you will very likely find your activities in horticulture increasing over time as your interest grows.
Life is all about the journey, and growing herbs is one filled with more adventure of discovery than you probably expect. Go joyfully, and may you have many exciting journeys to come!
