Self-Watering Pots for Your Herbs

Sun is shining, weather is getting warmer...If you're like us, this means you're probably going batty with the seed catalogs, envisioning how prolific your window-box garden will be this summer.

There's nothing quite like cutting your own fresh herbs in the kitchen; no more herb bundles rotting in their Styrofoam beds in the fridge. But how annoying is it when you leave for a few days and the plants up and die?

Here's a solution: a self-watering pot that keeps plants happy for 7-10 days, while you're off on holiday. Available for $28 from Orange Skin.

Here's another idea for indoor gardening - indoor light gardens at http://www.tindaraorchids.com/index.h - I've seen them offered at Vermont Gardeners Supply, too. But Tindara seems to be offering both, last time I checked.

I had an Aerogarden. It worked pretty well, but it's a little big for New York living (it takes up more than half the depth of a kitchen counter). It's glaringly bright. And it's not cheap. Their business model is to lock you in with buying new seed packs (you can't easily use your own). It's been under my desk for about 6 months now.

Watering, is the major problem for most of the gardeners. However, this sort of problem could be an opportunity for those who has willing, knowledge and creativity to do something. This something will help those who has the problem and in turn, give them back the profit. Nice lives chain mechanism.. This is the way universe still survive until today.
Self watering pots as well as aero garden are truly interesting. I often forget to do this kind of my task too. Thanks to the inventors, and thanks to the writer who has posted this interesting article :)
