Want Fresh Herbs in Your Kitchen? Try a Vertical Garden

Introduction

As a chef, I love to experiment with different kinds of herbs in my cooking. Not only do they add an aromatic quality to dishes, but they also make the food taste more flavorful and vibrant. Yet sometimes it seems like herbs are expensive or hard to find at the grocery store—what if I could just grow them myself? As it turns out, growing your own herbs is not only possible but also pretty easy! In this blog post, we’ll show you how to set up your own vertical garden so that you can grow fresh herbs in your kitchen all year round.

Why do a vertical garden?

  • Vertical gardens are a great way to save space.
  • Vertical gardens are a great way to save money.
  • Vertical gardens are also ideal for those who don’t have much time or energy to spend on growing their own food, but still want fresh herbs year-round in their kitchens.

Choose an indoor location that works for you.

Once you have the supplies and materials for your herb garden, it’s time to think about where you want to put it. You’ll need to choose a location that works for you and your family.

  • Choose an indoor location that works for you. Some people enjoy having fresh herbs in their kitchen, while others prefer them in other rooms of the house such as living rooms or bathrooms. It all comes down to how often you will use them and whether they’re accessible by everyone in your household—so consider this before deciding on placement!
  • Outdoors is not an option because of extreme weather conditions (cold winters) or pests (bugs) which could destroy your plantings overnight! So be sure that they’re kept safe indoors so they can grow healthily into maturity without being damaged by anything else around them – including pets who may get too curious about what’s going on over there when it’s not their job yet!

Pick the herbs you want to grow.

Once you’ve settled on a space, the next step is picking out which herbs you’ll be growing. You want to choose herbs that are easy to grow and ones you will use regularly so they will last as long as possible. Here are some great options:

  • Basil – This herb can withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for summertime planting. It also grows quickly and has a long growing season, so your basil should last through fall and winter if properly cared for!
  • Thyme – Thyme is another great herb that can withstand hot temperatures without being bothered by disease or pests. It’s also an excellent choice because it doesn’t need much water or light in order to thrive—so even if you’re not able to spend a lot of time tending to your vertical garden each day, this plant should still thrive under the right conditions!
  • Mint (peppermint) – This one may seem like an odd choice at first glance given its tendency towards invasive growth patterns when left unchecked…but peppermint makes an excellent addition if planted in pots! Just make sure not too many start sprouting up around where they shouldn’t (like inside your kitchen cabinets) before trying again next year with another type of mint instead; otherwise there might be nothing left by next spring except dead stems from overwatered plants gone wild…which would definitely ruin any meal plans we had planned tonight–not unlike what happened last night when I forgot how much water each plant needed while trying something new with some friends who were visiting from out-of-state.”

Clean the containers you’ll be using.

  • Use soap and water to clean them.
  • Rinse them with water.
  • Dry them before you use them for your herbs if you want to keep the containers looking nice. If you’re using new containers, no need for this step!

Fill your planters about 1/4 of an inch below the rim (or hole) with moistened soil.

Fill your planters about 1/4 of an inch below the rim (or hole) with moistened soil. Add some organic matter to improve drainage, and then add fertilizer if you have a specific need. Water thoroughly so that excess water will drain from the bottom of the planter or tray.

Now you’re ready to plant your herbs!

You can have fresh herbs in your kitchen by using a vertical garden!

If you’re looking for a way to grow fresh herbs without taking up too much room, a vertical garden is the perfect solution. Growing your herbs vertically will save space and create beautiful displays of color in or outside your home. To help you get started, here are some tips from our team.

  • Choose which herbs you want to grow and find out which ones thrive best in your climate zone (most herbs grow very well in containers).
  • Plant them in pots that are at least eight inches wide with drainage holes at the bottom so they don’t get waterlogged. You can also plant them directly into the ground if you have an area where they won’t be disturbed by animals or people walking by too often (like near an outdoor patio).
  • Watering: You should water each pot every day until it drains through all its drainage holes; this means that there should be no standing water left behind when you’re done watering each pot every day! Make sure not only the topsoil but also underneath layers of mulch are moist before leaving them unattended overnight; otherwise they might rot away completely before getting enough sun exposure during daytime hours.”

Conclusion

Vertical gardens are a great way to grow fresh herbs and other flowers without a lot of space. They give you the benefits of having your own garden without the hassle.
