It fills you and your home with the most sumptuous aromas while ensuring that you are never short of some fresh seasonings. But what's the most convenient way of doing that? Having them in deck pots of course! They end up adding to the décor while being pretty useful as well! So, here's a blog to give you some creative ideas on how you could get a kitchen deck herb garden of your own.
Some handy tips before you start:
Herbs love the sun, simple as that! That's exactly why windowsills, open kitchen decks or fire escapes often prove to be the best areas to grow herbs. They grow to be incredibly vibrant, beautiful and lush if you give them enough sun.
However, they don't need too much fertilizer input from you. If you want your herbs to be fragrant and flavourful, make sure the soil is slightly on the lean side. Also, water correctly, as per the requirement of the plant because some do prefer slightly drier conditions. Finally, ensure that your pots or containers have enough drainage.
