Tips for Growing a Herb Garden from Seed

Tips

 * Supplement low-sunlight conditions with fluorescent lighting. Expensive "grow lights" can be purchased from garden catalogs, but a fluorescent house lamp will work.
 * Bottom water seedlings to avoid damping off by placing the plants in a pan of water.
 * Once the seedlings emerge, water them once a day.
 * Use equal parts perlite, vermiculite, and coir compost for soil. Avoid sphagnum peat moss, which is an environmentally unsustainable product. These can be purchased at a local garden center or discount chain.
 * Jiffy-Mix can be used to start seeds.
