The most common herb garden kits are the herb disc pots. You will find and herb disc, potting soil and eco friendly pots in these kits. The herb disc is a small paper-like material that has cultivated seeds in it. The pots vary in sizes. The kit also provides an easy 4-step herb planting process. You put the soil in the pot, leaving about an inch at the top. You will then have to put the herb disc. Have more soil put into it. And then have the pot watered. The large pots could accommodate at least seven herb discs. The discs have a wide selection of herbs – basil, chives, cilantro, arugula, thyme and many others.

Galvanized tin or steel pail kits are gaining popularity among stylish gardeners. These kits will work great as a gift since they look like flower buckets. Most pail kits include pail, seeds or baby herb plants and potting soil. This has the same procedure as the herb disc pots.

Self-watering containers are suitable for on-the-go gardeners. Since you might not have time to religiously water your plants, you could buy ready-made self-watering containers. However, today, this isn’t quite popular. Hence, you can check out web videos and articles for step-by-step making of these containers. Here is one sample: the materials you will need are leca pellets – expanded clay pellets; a large pot, regardless of material-make, as long as it has no drain holes; irrigation pipe and float; porous synthetic fiber cloth – before planting, cut the fiber according to the diameter of your pot, and cut a hole that matches the size of the pipe; organic compost; and your herbs.

Fill in three-fourths of the pot with leca. Put the cloth. Insert the pipe and the float in the cloth’s hole, with at least two inches showing over the pot rim. Be sure that it reaches the bottom of the pot. Have it filled with compost up to its rim. Secure your herb plants. You need to fill the pipe with water until the float reaches the minimum level mark. Once the clay absorbs water, the roots of your plants also do the same. Every three to four weeks, you can have the pipe refilled. These pots have a life span of three years.

You could also utilize woven baskets which have good drainage, suitable for outdoor plants. Plastic, rubber and clay pots with hangers or hanging chains are great for indoor spaces.

Some gardening stores offer sets of potted herbs and racks. These packages come in three-potted herbs and one rack. There is a difference between the racks that hang on the walls to the tiered or tray racks. They are either wooden or made from stainless steel.

Growing herbs pots is now made easy. Herb gardening could be truly for everyone to enjoy.
