I love to use fresh herbs in my cooking and I hate to pay $3-4 for bunch of parsley from the supermarket which is saggy and has obviously been there for some time.
I am told that the taste of the herb dissipates very quickly from the time it is originally picked. So, freshly picked is the way to go.
To date, I have been growing fresh herbs outside the back of my garage, down some steps from the deck outside the kitchen as well as some on the deck itself.
The ones on the deck are grown in normal soil and the results have been mixed, it is currently winter here in Sydney Australia " so, not expecting too much growth " in the summer I get good results from this way of growing.
By using a Hydroponics System I purchased a year ago, I have been getting great results, all the year round.
What is this Blog all about I can hear you ask?
Well, it seems that I have a lazy streak, well hidden, I hope but a lazy streak nonetheless. While I have these great herbs within 20 paces or so, I find it a bit of chore to go outside and pick them while I am preparing food!
So, it struck me recently, how great it would be to just have them growing on the bench or in the kitchen window and I could have my very own indoor herb garden, where I just lean over and pick the herb I need to use and then it keeps growing and refreshing itself.
The quick answer, I suppose, would be just to buy one of those systems that create an Indoor Herb Garden. However, the one that seems to be the best is not available down here and the one that is, does not get great reviews.
Given the great results from my Hydroponics System, why not try to replicate this and use it to make my very own Indoor Herb Garden?
So, that is what the Indoor Herb Garden Challenge is all about.
As an added bonus, it may well help me to understand how the internet works, as I keep a log of my attempt.
Although I am based in Sydney Australia, the techniques I am planning to use, should translate to any country worldwide.
There are probably hundreds of reason why this wont work, but I'm going to give it a REAL GO !
So, get behind me on this!
