Why a herb garden?
A decision to grow useful plants may have roots in a love for nature, or because one comes across enticing culinary, medicinal, and other uses all of a sudden. It is tempting to procure seeds and cuttings from every available source, and to start planting as soon as possible.
According to studies, herbs that grow slowly in poor soil tend to produce more essential oils compared to those plants that grow fast in rich soil. Actually, what this study shows is that length of time that the herb grows affects the quality of its oil.
Since some have different soil requirements and can grow under slightly different conditions, having them separated by variety can help get them started and keep them growing throughout their life.Since your indoor herb gardens are not exposed to direct sunlight, the soil may not dry up fast.
