Herb Pots/Organic Vegetables

A lot of the food that is sold in the super markets today is laden with harmful chemicals that can cause some negative reactions in our bodies. According to studies, eating chemical laden food can cause different types of diseases including several types of cancer. To avoid eating too much chemically laden food, it would be a good idea for you to utilize what small space you have in your house and grow some vegetables and herb plants organically. Organically growing your own vegetables and herb will not only ensure you a steady supply of healthy food, it will also make your home look green and beautiful.

Using Pots For Your Herb Plants
If you only have a small space available for planting, it would be wise for you to use pots for your herb plants. Not only will this method free more space for you to plant more vegetables, it will also help you make your home more organized and less cluttered. Stacking pots with the use of some iron racks will help you produce more herb plants with just a small space. Furthermore, using pots will allow to you transfer your plants every now and then if you want to. Transferring your plants to different locations at specific times of the year will help you maximize the use of available sunlight.

Choose the colors and designs of your pots well when using pots to hold your herb plants. Using decorative pots to hold your plants can make your home look more attractive especially if you put your herb plants near the front door of your home. Small decorative pots stacked neatly on a decorative rack will make an interesting front door decoration. There is really nothing more beautiful than having some greens greeting your visitors every time they visit you.

Choosing The Right Herb Plants
Plant those types of herbs that you use in your daily cooking. If you have not been using many herbs in your cooking, try to imagine which types of herb plants would be more useful for you in the kitchen. Herb plants such as rosemary, basil, chives, lemon grass and others will make your cooking more delicious so you might want to invest in these types of herb plants. You may also add some exotic herbs and spices into your collection to add some variety. When it comes to herb plants, more choices are always better since this will give you a lot of room to experiment in your cooking.
