Making Your Personal Garden of Herbs Indoors

Herbs have always played an important role in  our lives especially in improving our health. Growing your own herbs at home makes it easier to use them anytime you need it for cooking or medicinal purposes. They say that a meal or a food becomes more tasty and interesting when you herbs to them especially when they are freshly picked from your own garden. Knowing that these herbs are free from any form of chemicals fertilizers and pesticides, you are assured that what you are eating or adding to your meals daily are healthy. The first herbs was brought by early settlers to America for use as a remedy for illness, as a flavoring to foods, storing with linens, strewing on floors, or burning for their pleasant fragrances. Some herbs were even used to improve the taste of meats in the days before preservation techniques were developed.

Today, herbs gardens were almost an essential feature of pioneer homes. They are usually place in sunny corners of the house to be readily available to the busy homemaker. Herb trio in birch container is just one example of the many herbs that I have indoors. These herb trio is composed of sage, rosemary and thyme, I liked these three the most because I usually add them to our daily meals plus the fact that they can be used for medicinal purposes. I usually place these herb trio in birch container on the windows of our kitchen so that it could still receive the full sun that it needs the whole day while it is easier for me to reach them whenever I need them in my cooking.

Always remember that you don't really need an estate to grow a gorgeous and useful herb garden. Most of  these herbs are perfect even when place in a container or pots and planters, they will definitely thrive on your deck, patio, balcony, or front steps, provided you offer them the right growing conditions.

Potted Plants And It's Benefits

Planting has always been a great hobby for me. I could still remember the first time I tried planting a flower on a pot. I do not have much about plants that time, but all know is I want to have my own little garden someday. And little by little, from flower pots and containers to my very own garden that is now full of different types of plants. I now realized that container gardening has help me in a lot of ways because I was able to try varieties of plants that I'd like to grow and testing it on different types of soil especially if it grows well on the type of soil that we have. I had done some research regarding container gardening, and as far as I know, container gardening dates back thousand of years to ancient cultures. One of the most famous container gardens in the history of civilization is the Hanging Gardens of Babylons.

Container gardening has a few disadvantages, but the positive aspects far outweigh them. One of the greatest benefit of container gardening is saving space. Many people nowadays live in apartments or homes with very little yard space by using pots and planters, it allows them to have a garden on a porch or patio or even indoors. Another major benefit of container gardening is allowing you to move your plants from one location to another if bad weather comes or if your plants are getting too little sun or too much. And you can even move your plants on a whim if you decide that they would look better elsewhere. Another thing is that, plants that are grown in containers have fewer problems with disease, and just in case it gets a fungus, then it is less likely to spread to all other plants and they are much easier to treat rather than those plants in the lawn.

Keeping your plants well-fed is also easier grown in pots because you are ensured that the fertilizer you use gets to your plants directly. Lastly, the variety of containers available allows you to design in a way that both fits your needs and complements your unique personality. There are many more advantages but those that I have cited are far the major benefits of container gardening.

Innovate Your Own Garden With Railing Planters

 

Mostly plants are placed in a pot or container or planted directly to the ground. But, in the world that we are living in today there are now many possibilities and innovations that some homeowners do for their garden to be more unique. Compared to rockstars and Hollywood celebrities who is almost in the news headlines everyday, there are actually unsung heroes among us quietly changing the way we live. They are environmentalists, horticultural visionaries, urban farmers, soil scientists and landscape artists, who have turned their personal passions into pursuits that collectively reshape our homes, gardens, neighborhoods and public spaces.

One does not need to be a gardener to feel the impact of their efforts. In a busy city where people come and go and traffic is everywhere, you'll see trees grow lush and green, or in the new wilderness parks that bring nature to ever sprawling down towns. You'll also experience it in restaurants that offer never-before-tasted vegetables, and in supermarkets or shops where you can now buy sustainably grown cut flowers. At home, your garden may not be that simple anymore, a landscape artist may add some vertical garden with containers or a living wall planter that can add to the beauty of your garden. Other artists may use your railing as a support for some flowers in a planter. These are actually called the click railing planters.

They can be installed simply and securely with just a snap. You could place the planters on any kind of railings, as long as it can hold the pots or the planters, and with just two adjustable tabs they snap into place at the base of the planter. With the click railing planters, your garden will transform from the simple ones to aesthetically pleasing and provides innovative solutions to gardening in spaces that would other wise be unusable.
