To begin growing herbs from seeds, follow the steps below:
1. Find a container with proper drainage. For instance, herbsociety.org suggests using the following:
2. Soak your container in a combination of 10% bleach and water and allow the containers to dry.
3. Fill up your container to one inch from the top with soil.
4. Wet the soil and let it sit for 20-30 minutes.
5. Planting the seeds is the trickiest part of the process! Herbsociety.org gives tips on how to successfully plant your seeds:
6. Be sure to keep your seeds hydrated! Bottom watering is the best method to prevent seeds from drying out. To do this, place your containers on a tray of water. Leave them on the tray until the top of the soil is moist.
7. Cover your containers with plastic wrap to preserve moisture. Do not wrap the plastic too tight or there will not be proper air-circulation. Uncover them about every other day to avoid mildew and give them air. Remove the plastic wrap once the seedlings start to grow.
