For those who find herb gardening difficult and a tiring process, try growing a chia herb garden as it is simple compared to traditional herb gardening. By using a sponge made of peat moss and bark, all strenuous guess work is taken out.  The sponge regulates the water and air flow of the roots of the plants, which ensures the proper growth environment of the plant.

Preserving a chia herb garden only requires a few simple steps to get the herbs growing. Herb garden chia requires you to sprinkle your chia seeds on a sponge, moist it lightly and cover the entire thing with a sandwich bag so that it can retain its moisture.

When the chia sprouts, uncover and bring them to a windowsill.  Begin tending to them like any other standard herb gardening procedure. Always remember and be cautious that plants are extremely in need of sunlight, therefore a sunny window facing south is the best place as this is normally the optimum position to get the most light.

Chia herb garden’s sponge soil system helps to simplify the preparation of the potting mixture and aides to find the appropriate soil in order for your herbs to grow properly. You can plant any kind of herbs; there is no limit on the herbs you can choose to grow. You can grow any variety of herbs like basil, chives, cilantro, parsley and sweet marjoram. Select any kind of herbs and they will grow well in this type of garden.

Aside from this there is no planting limitation, the benefits have no limits. Mostly herbs can be used for food, medicine and other personal use. You can also create your own business growing and selling herbs or do it just as a hobby.

The chia garden experience doesn’t have to end when your plants reach maximum growth. You can transplant them to your outdoor garden. Simply just move the plant together with the sponge and choose what location you want to replant them.

Maintaining a year round supply of herbs for your kitchen is possible by having a chia herb garden because these gardens can stand the conditions of both indoors and outdoors. You don’t have to worry about harsh winters destroying your precious gardens again. However if you feel the necessity to protect your garden in the winter, simply move your garden indoors. Just always remember to read the instruction manual along with your chia herb garden kit, it should recommend the amount of sunlight needed.  During winters, just keep a tab on when the sun rises and appears to be at its peak. Place your garden in the sunniest windowsill or corner.

Start using a chia herb garden so that you can always harvest fresh homemade herbs for your cooking chia recipes and medicinal purposes, instead of those at the supermarket which are wilted and dry.
