The Window Herb Garden

Why Choose a Windowsill Herb Garden?

Growing your own window herb garden can be fun, rewarding and it can save you a lot of money. Any professional chef or even part time, for fun chefs can tell you that the most costly ingredients in any dish are the herbs. Even though you'll only use a pinch of this herb or a dash of that herb, buying the entire container of herbs adds up to one hefty grocery bill.

It is a very good reason to grow your own herbs and why most people do. And not all of us have that large garden plot to grow our herbs, so many of us resort to window boxes, window sills or containers. A window herb garden doesn’t require very much attention, just a box, some seeds, a touch of fertilizer and dirt, some water and a bit of love.

Herbs aren't very difficult to grow. As long as you pay attention to them and give them lots of water when they look a little dry, and you put them in a window that gets a lot of sunshine, you'll soon see that your herbs will grow big and strong without you really needing to do anything at all.
