DIY Winter Herb Garden
Here is something decorative for the home. The Winter Herb Garden makes it possible to enjoy herbs all year long and are actually grown organically. This is actually a do it yourself process where you gather the materials needed such as:
- Open pollienated heirloom seeds
- Organic Compost
- Crushed Egg Shells
- Cooled Coffee, tea water or water from cooking vegetables
- Eco-friendly planters
Lay out the planters and fill each pot with compost. Add seeds and top them off with the crushed egg shells. Water the seeds with tea, pasta or vegetable water, and place the planters on whichever windowsill will provide the most sunlight during the winter months. If you want to monitor which of your plants are growing, you can label them with paper or by writing them popsicle sticks.
Once the plants have grown in, begin snipping a few leaves off each plant throughout the week. Use the herbs in soups, salads and other meal components. Many herbs can also be used in tea.
