Container Herb Gardening Tips

For those growing a container garden, an herb garden is one of the easiest things you can do. Herbs are great to grow in containers for several reasons:

1. They typically don't need a lot of space, and most don't get super tall, so you can grow them even in smaller pots.

2. Many grow well indoors year-round, so you can have fresh herbs always at hand!

4. You can often grow different kinds together in one pot. Herbs are something you often need a variety of on hand, especially if you like to cook from scratch, so it's nice to be able to grow a number of them even if you don't have much space.

5. They are usually quite easy to grow, and you can save lots of money growing your own fresh herbs rather than buying little expensive packets of them at the store all the time.
