We’ve spent more time at our homes in the last two years. Many of us spent that time improving our homes. We have also looked into ways to be less dependent on others.
You can grow your own herbs. But is it worth it? How do you get started? We will look at which herbs to start with, and the options available for herb gardens.
Does Growing Herbs at Home Save Money?
A herb garden will bring new life into your home. You can also save money, improve your health and make sure your meals are always full of flavor. You’ll see a reduction in your grocery bill immediately after you plant an herbal garden.
It will also make it easier to cook with herbs, as you’ll always have them on hand. You can grow many common herbs in pots inside. With a little attention, you’ll have a steady supply of fresh herbs at home.
What herbs should you plant?
You might start with the easiest herbs to see if you can grow them successfully before moving on to more challenging ones. Below are some of the easiest herbs to grow.

Herb Garden Options
You can grow herbs either indoors or outdoors. Vertical planters have become very popular because they maximize space. If you have a small outdoor space or live in an apartment, this is a great option.
Consider a hydroponics plant system. They are great for indoor spaces that don’t receive as much sunlight as you would prefer. You can find a variety of options online and at big-box stores. You can use raised garden beds outside, which you may purchase or create yourself.
Consider a starter kit. It will include pots, seeds and everything else you need to start. You can try out the kit to see how it goes before deciding to grow more.
