Growing Herbs Indoors - Tip of the Day


Not all of us have light-filled spaces to grow herbs. Luckily, it doesn't take a large investment to let the light in.

When there's not enough light for green herbs to thrive indoors, you don't need to invest in an expensive grow lamp. These days, all you need is the right bulb. Most hardware stores that carry a large selection of lights will have just what you need, or you can find a whole selection over at Amazon.

But don't get just any variety. As Home Harvest explains, the best lights are fluorescents. Just make sure you keep it close to the greenery: "The trick to using them successfully is to keep standard fluorescent bulbs no further than 4 inches away from the tops of the plants."

Tip of the Day

While rice is an easy-to-prepare grain, removing its residue from pots and pans is no small feat. With these tips, it's a breeze.
