How to Start an Herb Garden

Some people may think it's difficult to start an herb garden but, in fact, it's really quite easy. Garden Centers are actually a great way for those who are interested in gardening to get started because it is really much easier than growing other plants, such as roses or citrus trees.

Starting an herb garden is easy. It doesn't require much room, since most herb plants can be grown in small pots. Even if you live in a small apartment with no yard, growing an herb garden is possible since you can even grow them inside. If you have a small area outdoors but nowhere to cultivate plants such as on a patio, that's ok too. Herb gardens are really quite flexible, which is another thing that makes them easy for gardening beginners.

It's easy to start herb garden plants. You can start herb garden plants two ways. The first, and probably the most common way to start herb garden plants, is from seed. Seeds are inexpensive and you can start your seeds in egg cartons. Once your seeds are ready to be transplanted to a bigger pot, or into the ground, you can just cut apart the egg carton and plant them since cardboard egg cartons are completely biodegradable. If you have kids, this is often the way that they learn about how plants grow when they are in school. They will plant seeds in egg cartons, water them and watch them grow. Then they get to bring them home, and rather ironically, that's usually right around mother's day.
