Making A Herb Garden At Home

Make your herb garden with the help of this straightforward step-by-step guide. There is no need for any specialized equipment.

Step 1 – Choose Your Location

Determine where you will be.

The ideal location for most herbs is partially shaded yet receives plenty of direct sunlight. Your herb garden would benefit significantly from being placed near the kitchen.

___SNIPPET___ImageSnippet#1661973287129___END___

Step 5 – Start Planting

Planting shorter herbs closer to the margins of the garden bed (or containers) and taller herbs in the middle of the garden bed is an excellent general rule of thumb.

___SNIPPET___ImageSnippet#1653491822472___END___

If you do this, you will ensure that all of the herbs receive the proper amount of sunshine, but you will also find it much simpler to reach across the bed to harvest or pull weeds.

___SNIPPET___FeaturedParagraphSnippet#1653468535608___END___

Step 6 – Provide Basic Care

Your small herb plants will depend on you for maintenance until they are thoroughly established, and even after that, they will need occasional weeding and trimming.
