If you have not tried herb gardening under your bed yet, then you are missing out on a lot of things. Not only is it more relaxing to be outside in your pajamas than being in a cold basement, but growing herbs in pots allows you the freedom and flexibility to move your plants around whenever necessary. And because you are growing herbs in a container, they won’t ever get so much sun or wind that they die. But it’s also a great way to learn about gardening and prepare yourself for indoor herb gardening someday. Here are some of the benefits of starting an herb garden under your bed:

Start Your Gardening Hobby Under Your Bed You’ll never know how many herbs you can grow before you even start planting them. If you start your herb gardening under your bed before you have any herb plants at all, you can choose just a few plants to grow. That means more time to do research and find out which herbs are best to grow in your area. You can always get more herb plants once you’ve learned what’s best in your region.

No Soil to Worry About Growing herbs in pots instead of soil means no more fertilizer to buy or apply. All you will need to worry about is watering your plants and checking on the health of your herb plants. You can fill your pots with water as needed without concern for hard water soil. Also, herb gardening under your bed eliminates the problem of using compost to compost your soil. With herb gardening under your bed, you can simply use your potted plants as the compost.

Lessens Your Need for Water You’ll save a lot of water when you are herb gardening under your bed. You won’t have to water your potted herbs nearly as often as you would if you had a traditional garden. And since your herbs will be growing upside down, they are only getting water via the water drip method from the bottom of the plant. This means you will never have to worry about running out of water or the dreaded ‘brown’ stains on your beautiful pots and other containers. You’ll also have a much easier time collecting rainwater versus having to wait for the rain to come.

No More Mulching It can be a real pain to mulch your herb garden when you have a traditional garden. When you have your herb growing under your bed, all you’ll have to do is rake the mulch up. There will be no need to mulch again, because you’ll have the herb garden on the surface of your bed instead of in the mulch. No more hard work than ever before.

Lesser Attention All the hard work of herb gardening under your bed will be greatly appreciated by your family. No one has to feel the brunt of all that work again. You can just enjoy the amazing scent and flavor of your herbs and the fresh air that the herbs will bring into your home. It’s truly worth the reward.

No More insect Pests are annoying to anyone who has ever suffered with them. You’ll have an easier time with herb gardening under your bed simply because of the lack of insects. You won’t have to deal with that annoying red spider guy anymore. You’ll be able to enjoy all the wonderful scents and flavor of your herbs without having to deal with those nasty little insects anymore. It’s a win/win situation.

You’ll also enjoy the fresh air circulation as well. If you live in a dry or warm climate, you’ll be glad you decided to try herb gardening under your bed. The fresh air will help you get into the relaxation state that your herbs will help you achieve. You’ll feel better, you’ll taste better, and you’ll be happy. Try it!
