Indoor herb planting is best for beginners. You can easily monitor and maintain them when they are literally in the comfort of your own home. Here's how you can go about starting your indoor herb garden.

Project Requirements include:

* pots, old yogurt containers or empty milk cartons
* saucers
* gravel, stones that can fit into your pot or container
* quality seeds or starter plants
* planter soil

Instructions:

1. Go to your local garden center and inquire about herbs that would be great for indoor gardening. Once given a series of options, be sure to read and ask about the instructions indicated at the of the seed package. You are going to follow these instructions as you grow your herbs sp do not hesitate to ask questions.

2. Ready your pots, old yogurt containers or empty milk cartons. There are pots that are made specifically for herbs. You can ask about them in your local garden center. But do not worry; other containers will be good for planting to.

3. Poke 3 to 4 holes on the bottom part if you are using an old yogurt cup or an empty milk carton. Pots usually have a hole or two on its end but if you find that there are none, purchase one that has holes. You will need these holes to filter out excess water.

4. Put gravel or stones inside your pots and containers to prevent them from moving around. This will also help in filtering out the excess water. If you accidentally dropped a vase in the process do not worry. Use the shards as oppose to gravel or stones. Recycling is good.

5. Place saucers below your pots and containers. These saucers will catch the excess water.

6. Pour your planter soil into your pot. Leave about 2 to 3 inches of space before reaching the brim.

7. Get your seeds and get planting. Remember, one plant, one pot. Most seeds opt to be planted just above the surface of the soil but do read the instructions on the package for other possible soil planting requirements. It's better to be sure than to waste your efforts, seeds and money spent.

8. Find a sunny spot in your house and place them there. A window space will be just great for your herbs.

9. Water your plants with an average of half a cup's measurement. Water them once every 2 days -- but do check them every day. If they do feel dry to the touch take the initiative to water them adequately.

10. Empty your saucer with the excess water. It not good to overwater plants.

11. Planting seeds may take long. You can consider using starter plants instead for a faster productivity. But if you really want to get hands on with the whole planting process then feel free to use seeds.
