Indoor Herb Garden Ideas (Kitchen Wall Herb Garden Indoor)

hi I’m Gina your Midwest garden ear and today I am talking to those who crave fresh herbs for cooking we are going to create a very artistic fun herb garden in the house so you’ll have all your herbs close at hand so any time of year you can have these wonderful fresh plants it’s unique its artistic and it’s easy so let’s talk about the materials you’re going to need I’ve got of course all of our herbs we’ve got rosemary and thyme and you can actually start these from seed to something that you’ll row them in this is actually a light fixture but you can use a mason jar any kind of container that works for you that will fit into your pipe lamp and we have little tiles here that we’re going to use for labels they’re erasable so that’s really great and of course we have our miracle gro potting mix and we have a few tools that we’ll need because we’re going to attach all this to a board so step one in the process is doing some planning and measuring figure out where you want to put your herb garden where do you have space where do you have a good amount of sunlight because they’re going to want that to thrive and then you can decide how big you want to start with I chose a two foot board so just to verify I have a 24 inch board and I’m gonna put three plants on this board so I’m going to space them out evenly use your tape measure and measure out tick mark at six inches another six inches and another six inches so let’s move on to step two we’re going to talk a little more about spacing of your pots so I’m your space mine igloo but you don’t have to do that all you have to do is make sure that there’s enough light and space for your plants to thrive I’m just going to do mine pretty straightforward so this is step three we’re going to attach our pipe clamps to the board we’re gonna start by drilling a pilot hole and to do that I’m gonna prop up the board to protect my table so I have all my holes marked with my measurement and ullman do is drill a small pilot hole and preparation for the nail now in preparation of attaching our pipe clamps we want to open them up it makes them much easier to deal with and once they’re loose all we have to do then is hammer them in so we’re going to get our nail and our hammer and we’re going to attach the pipe clamp to the board it’s really easy because we already have the pilot holes and all it takes is a couple of taps we’re going to do that two more time for the rest of the board and for our last clamp all right so now we’re on step 4 and that’s going to be potting up our herbs so we’re going to tape the mix we’re going to layer the bottom of each pot and then we’re going to break up the herbs from the pots therein and plant them so there’s our first one and that’s time so we’ll do our second with rosemary again we’re going to loosen up the roots to wake the plant up a little bit smells really good I’m going to tuck this guy in here and he’s pretty much set so we just finished our last pot and we make sure that everything is watered appropriately especially if you’re starting from see they need that water so now for step 5 we’re going to attach our pots to our board and the way to do that is to prop it up and then we’ll connect our clamps so that they’re closed loosely so that we can then fit our pots in just like this then you can clamp it down all the way so that’s our dill and now we’ll do our time so now we’ve got our pot set so for step six we’re going to attach our stone tiles as like little labels so we can mark what herbs we have in our indoor garden and to do that we’re going to use an adhesive and just in case we don’t get an immediate set we want to flatten this out and then we’re just going to take some adhesive and apply it to the back of the tile we’re just going to put a little adhesive on the back but do be careful with the quantity you put on so you’re using just what you need I’m going to give mine a little flair and put them on an angle so we’re going to put the first one right here and then we’ll take a second tile all right so we’re placing the second tile and these tiles are really great because they come in a pre laid sheet from Home Depot and all you do is peel them right off they’re pre-cut these great sizes for you and you can use individual ones and then one sheet gives you about a dozen or more so we’ll install the last one right now all right our labels are all attached so now we’re going to label our plants I’ve got here a chalk pencil this is our rosemary and we’ve got thyme and we’ve got dill and then all that’s left to do is hang it so for our project here I used a standard picture hanger on the back and this one’s rated at 30 pounds so just make sure the rating matches the size of your project that’s it another great project from Miracle Gro
