Pots and Planting Herbs for Beginners

First thing you're going to need to gather supplies. You'll need:

-One small bag of potting soil

-4 pots and water trays (water trays normally come with the pots)

-At least four different colours of water proof paint

-Paintbrushes

-Water, disposable cup, paper towel and a plastic bag

-Hose or bottle of water (you'll need at least 2 bottles of water for all four plants.)

It should be super easy to do all of these steps and to take care of the herbs after planting. Always go off the recommended amount of sunlight and water to keep your herbs happy and healthy. You can adjust the recommendation if you find you plants do better in different amounts of sun and or water.

This works for both flowers, veggies and herbs. And if you wish you can paint the tray the colour you choose to write the name in to help identify the herb and add colour.

Adding designs will make them stand out more I find, so I chose tree branches, but you could paint what ever you wish as well as you could look at different sources to get inspiration.

This will help with keeping water in the plant and promote better plant health. I used a handful but of course depending on the size of the pot always use no more then an inch of soil.

Grab little hand fulls of dirt around the soil free areas so it is even around the pot. After that is done make sure the soil packed tightly and add more dirt around the actual plant and again making sure it is tightly packed together

Grab your hose and put it on a mist setting if possible and soak the dirt until darker and before the point of it being mud. You can do the same with the water bottles with the same amount of moister in the dirt. Be sure not to over water your plants, maybe once a day or every two days depending on climate.
