Herb tea fans agree that fresh herbs make the best tea. When herbal tea is purchased from the store, freshness is not only sacrificed, but some herbs are quite expensive. The only solution is to raise your tea garden. You enjoy fresh tea and save money. Sounds like too much work? It is not just simple to grow herbal tea garden, but it turned out to be a fun project in fact.
Herbs can be cultivated throughout the year, with little space required. Even if you live in an apartment or a house, these small plants can be cultivated. They can prosper indoors or outdoors. Most herbs require a lot of light. I had a great success with peppermint and herbs of lemon verbena in a separate pot inside a house near a big window.
Before you buy herb seeds and seedlings in a hurry, think about herb tea you are enjoying and herb tea you want to try. Growing your tea garden is a wonderful way to experiment. There are many excellent books that can guide you in this process. You can use various herbs and learn the planting and growing procedures specific to each varieties.
Regardless of whether herbs are cultivated or not, each herb needs its own space. If herbs are too close to each other, the taste of each variety may change significantly. There is also a more aggressive herb, there are also herbs taking over other plants if not enough space is given.
It is important to label herbs from personal experiences (lessons learned a difficult way), it is important to know what you planned and where you were planted. This is especially true if you plant some varieties of herbs. My first herbal garden was somewhat ambitious! Different herbs have their own growth guidelines, simple labels eliminate a lot of frustration.
In addition to the wonderful books available for growing herbs, you may receive some excellent assistance at the local nursery school when you purchase seeds and seedlings.
Growing herbal tea garden is an effort to win together. You can enjoy delicious fresh herbal tea and save money as a bonus. The cost of seeds, potted soils is much lower than the price of herbal tea purchased from stores.
