Looking for an easy way to start your herb garden early? Try this out. Its simple and easy and wont take too much time!!! :)
You know those foam egg cartons you never know what to do with? Save them up, the plastic ones too. Next thing you want to do is to buy those flat soil pods that expand when they get wet and of course seeds too! We have planted peppers, tomatoes, and all sorts of other herbs and plants.
Take your foam egg cartons (bottoms only, cut apart) and put a soil pod in each spot, add water and plant your seed. Then take the plastic egg cartons, cut them up and make a mini green house by setting it on top of the seedlings. You will only need to do this for a short period of time. Once your plants look like this there is no need to cover them any more.
Here is our set up. We took boards and put them across our window in out living room, then we put our herbs on our cheap little man made shelves. Easy Peasy!!!
Make sure you water them daily.
And don't forget to label them!
Here is a list of what you will need:
Foam and Plastic Egg Cartons
Scissors
Soil Pods
Seeds
Labels
A Window
That is all!!! Happy Planting!!!
