When starting an herb garden, there are many questions you’ll want answered. No matter how much you want to be successful in herb gardening, you still need those answers. Questions may refer to types of herbs to start from seed and what type of soil to use for an herb garden. A quick solution to all of these questions would be to purchase an herb garden kit. Those answers and many more are on the label or inside an instruction book. A beginning gardener is wise to start with a kit.
The variety of herb garden kits is wide, with herbs from many categories. They can be grouped by cuisine, such as Italian or German, or they can be grouped by uses such as culinary herbs, teas, medicinal or aromatic herbs. Special dishes like gravy or sausages require their own herbs. These are some of the groups of herbs. The herbs in a kit may be different, but there are certain things that are similar in all of them. Things like seeds will be in each kit. One difference in the kits could be whether or not the kit comes with a humidity dome to provide uniform temperatures and humidity for the seedlings. However, there should be an instruction book, with each kit, telling you what to do to be successful. Recipes may also come with the kit, so you know how to use what you grow and which part of the plants to use. If you buy an herbal kit online, there will likely also be a newsletter with additional tips and techniques. The kit is usually also the pot for the herbs, and most of them have special soil or granules for growing herb seeds.
The benefits of starting indoors are many. Having your herbs nearby, you will use them frequently. You don’t have to walk far to the grow beds to add a bit of flavor to the food you prepare.
