What Container to Use for Your Container herb Garden
If you've insufficient space for even a small outside herb garden, a container herb garden is a good option. You can create one using ice cream or yogurt cartons or wooden boxes. However, I recommend using terracotta pots. They are not costly and last a lot longer.
Choosing and Preparing your Chosen Container
When you set up your container herb garden choose a container that's big enough to hold four to five medium-size herb plants with plenty of space in between each one. Fill it to within a few centimeters of the top with an appropriate soil mixture that has the right consistency to stimulate root growth and allow drainage of water. Garden soil can be okay to use, but it's a great deal safer to make your own mixture by bringing together high-quality compost with a coarse/sandy substance (such as Perlite). Use one portion of Perlite and two portions of compost and mix them together meticulously.
