I went to the store the other day to purhase some groceries. When I got to the herb section the prices blew me away!
I have always grown something every year, last year it was chives. This year I am growing a lot more herbs but still in a confined space.
In 2 long containers with soil I added the seeds and watered them and put them in partial shade.
The Herbs that I chose this year:
Chives
Garlic Chives
Dill
Parsley
Italian Flat Leaf Parsley
Spinach
I know Spinach is not a herb, but I put spinach in nearly everything because I like to think it makes my cooking more healthier.
This all didnt cost much at all and does not take up hardly any room at all. This could be done in an apartment, in the kitchen window sill, etc...
I had to buy the containers, soil, and seeds. The seeds were only $1 per package. You might already have a container you want to use too!
By planting this little herb garden you are helping the Earth in many ways. The plants will take in CO2 and release O2. When you buy herbs in the supermarket, they come in plastic packaging that ends up in the landfill. Also how did the herbs get to the store, by truck, you are saving the fuel from trucking in the herbs.
So we save
-Plastic Packaging from the trash
-Removes CO2 from the Air
-Saving on Fuel and CO2 emissions from the Truck.
And Trust me, every dish you make with your own home grown herbs just taste better!
