Some of the most popular plants that people grow indoors are herbs. Growing an indoor herb garden is very easy, and tasty! All that you need is a sunny window sill. There are two ways you can grow herbs successfully indoors. You can plant seeds in a small pot with some soil and place that pot on a window sill that gets at least six hours of sunlight a day. If you don't think you have a window sill that receives at least six hours of sunlight there is still hope. Many people use grow lights which can be purchased for a small cost and can be used instead of direct sunlight. The lights which are used are either LED or fluorescent. I have included some images below of examples of this.
Another fairly easy method for people who don't want to wait for seeds to grow is to go out and buy a rather large pot that should have a hole in the bottom. You could place some crushed stones in the bottom for better drainage. Don't forget to put a plastic tray under the pot. Next step is to buy some small herb plants from your local nursery. You should buy a variety. Lastly, plant all of the herbs in the large pot. You should fill it with soil and leave 3 inches at the top. Then just put it in a nice sunny place and water when it looks like it needs it. When you want to use the herbs you should cut from the top first, not the sides.

A new popular method for growing herbs indoors is by using soil-less set up that uses liquid nourishment and grow lights. The most popular and effective product would be the AeroGarden. The AeroGarden works by purchasing seed pods which include lettuce, cherry tomatoes, herbs, chili peppers, and edible flowers. It comes in a few different sizes and colors and in my opinion is great for urban dwellers. I have included some pictures below.
That's all for now.
