My Quest to Build an Indoor Herb Garden
If I buy my fresh Herbs at a Supermarket and use them in my cooking I am mostly disappointed with the quality and the result.
There can be no doubt that the fresher the herbs are the better they taste.
The herbs I currently use come from a couple of places, on the deck outside the kitchen and also down the steps in an area behind my workshop.
As its winter here in Sydney Australia, the plants are not too crash hot now, but in summer they can be good. I just use normal soil here.
I have had some great crops using the Hydroponics System I installed about 12 months ago. The Lemon Grass comes from a small pot I got as a gift and the basil is just excellent.
So, what is my Indoor Herb Garden Challenge about you would be asking yourself!
Leaving the cook bench and going outside to pick some of the great fresh herbs I have, is a real nuisance, So, as you can see – a bit of a defect in the old character.
So, it struck me recently, how great it would be to just have them growing on the bench or in the kitchen window and I could have my very own indoor herb garden, where I just lean over and pick the herb I need to use and then it keeps growing and refreshing itself.
The quick answer, I suppose, would be just to buy one of those systems that create an Indoor Herb Garden. However, the one that seems to be the best is not available down here and the one that is, does not get great reviews.
Anyway, I thought, why not try to duplicate my success with the Hydroponics system outside and use it to build my very unique Indoor Herb Garden?
So, that is what the Indoor Herb Garden Challenge is all about.
I am also, trying to learn about the Internet, so, thought Id combine the two objectives and put up a Web Site dedicated to the Indoor Herb Garden Challenge and keep a diary of my attempts.
This will not only be useful to Australians, but should translate to anywhere people live in houses or apartments.
I am sure there will be lots of people saying I cant do it for a variety of valid scientific reasons, but as they say in Australia ” Give It A Go You Mug !!!
So, cheer me along!
