DIY Herb Garden {tutorial}
Hi Kim, I plant several varietys of herbs in containers. Plant in varying heights with several planters, or a nice round container you can put on a table. You can put annual flowers in it also.
Hi Kim. A vertical herb garden may best suit your needs. A pallet is great for small spaces when it is positioned on the end, in a upright position ( as long as you are able to secure it from tipping. Or, use two pallets, facing each other, with rails to hold them in position.) Affix mason jars accordingly to allow for growth. Maximum utilization of limited space! I would send a picture, but I just thought of this and have not made one but I am going to soon.

What great ideas with pallets! We will be growing herbs in a small semi-sunlit place using concrete blocks in an upright position. Filling them with dirt in the open areas and then planting oregano, parsley, thyme, and maybe dill.
