We know what you’re thinking—creating your own herb garden is stressful!  After all, think of all the stooping, assembling and firming you will have to do.  Don’t make excuses!  If you want your very own herbal garden you can have one—and it won’t be as complicated or frustrating as you think.

Oh sure, we can imagine how gardening the old fashioned way can be a headache.  Thanks to the invention of the herb garden kit though, you can drain away all that stress and create your own garden in less than 30 minutes.  The idea is that it assembles all of the ingredients you need it one easy-to-use kit.

Here's What a Kit Includes

This is an ideal scenario for a beginner, even one that has no idea where to start with gardening.  The herb garden kit contains instructions which give explicit detail on how to plant the herb step-by-step.  The instructions refer to each of the included materials in the package; for example, the plant food, fertilizer, the seeds and in some cases even the pot.

Some kits may include pricier features like a greenhouse dome or various plant tools, such as for pruning, removing weeds, piling soil, creating furrows or digging.

The kits are sold according to different themes or ideas.

For example, there may be packages assembled that group certain types of herbs together, such as herbs that go well with tea or herbs for homeopathic treatment.  Some herbs might be packaged together as essential flavors for cooking and called culinary kits.

You may have seen such packages advertised as a self-watering base that lets you water one pot at the top, and then watch as the water drips down into all the other pots stationed below it.  

The herb garden kit is definitely going to reduce your stress!

If you have any qualms about gardening, then you should start out with a beginner’s kit that provides easy to follow instructions and all the materials you need.  If you choose a potted plant kit then you can assemble the entire garden in less than half an hour.  

Aside from following the instructions, caring for your plant afterward is relatively easy.  The plant needs roughly six hours a day of sunlight (though some herb plants will differ in this requirement) and needs adequate watering.  Occasionally, you may have to give the plant fertilizer, prune the leaves or till the soil in some cases.  However, the instructions let you know when and how to do all of these secondary actions.

Don’t stress out about whether or not this is the right or wrong way to approach gardening.  Experienced gardeners may desire to experiment with types of soil, fertilizer and herbs and so many want to do the assembling themselves.  If you simply want to grow your own herbs then an herb garden kit will serve you well.

All of the ingredients you buy are of high quality and will produce good herbs.  Leave that stress behind!  Gardening this way is sure to cheer you up.
