[QUOTE="Star*, post: 528511, member: 4964"] DDD Get the little box thing, get a bag of MIRACLE grow soil - and some Petemoss - and Pearlite - and mix all three in a bucket - and put in the little box thing - then buy whatever herbs you want - and plant in the little box thing. Every three weeks or so - Water with RAIN water - NOT tap water - Tap water has too much Chlorine for herbs.....If you do want to use Tap water - I recommend putting it in a jug and letting it sit with the cap loose for about a week. If you use rain water? You'll have better plants but add a scoop of Miracle grow fertilizer - because indoor plants need a boost every now and then - every three weeks should do it. Depending on what herbs you want to grow ? SOME will need to be spritzed or misted - (cheap water bottle) every now and then - and if you have a humid porch? Sun light? You'll have awesome herbs with the soil mixture I have given you - AT THE BOTTOM of your little box thing? Either put broken pottery shards, or gravel OR coffee filters to line it. NOT newspaper. It's not porous enough an it tends to rot and draw bugs. For outside - yes inside NO. YOu will want to make sure it drains well and possibly has a pan under it - a cookie sheet is fine. You can grow parsley, lemon balm, cilantro, rosemary, thyme - all of that in one big pot. Or you can get a little green house type thing and grow in separate pots.
