DIY Project of the Week: Stacked Herb Garden

7/13/2013

0 Comments

 
Don't miss out on fresh herbs (or pay a lot for them at the market) just because you don't have a big yard. Situate this compact herb garden in a sunny spot near the kitchen door for easy snipping.

Materials
  • 5 terra-cotta planters
  • Soilless potting mix
  • Assorted herbs

 You can find used pots at the Thrift Store. You can substitute the two pots that will be placed upside down with any other conteiner, like a paint can, for example. If you  want your pots to be the same color, you can paint them.

Steps
  1. Place largest planter in the location selected for the herb garden. Center 1 smaller pot within, upside down (with at least 6 inches of space around the inverted pot); an empty paint pint would work fine, if you dont' want to use a pot;  fill ring between the two with potting mix.
  2. Repeat to create a second layer with 2 smaller pots, with 4 inches between them. Place final pot right side up on second inverted pot. Fill with potting mix. Plant herbs in all three layers.
