Indoor Herb Garden
Talk to me about your indoor herb gardens using grow lights. I'm looking to start a small indoor year round herb and tea garden. Did you build yours? Did you buy a product? Bonus points if you show me a photo!!!

@Ruth Ann Reyes I bought an indoor garden set up on sale for about 40 dollars. I'll see if I can find a photo.
I bought one made of PVC pipe at a master gardeners plant sale for $5 including the lights. Let me dig that out and get a photo. (it's about time to set it up.)
And making on from pvc pipe or wire shelving is pretty easy. I'll get a link for that and post it later.

Awesome! I have many months of the year I cannot or do not want to grow outside ;) But, I have plenty of room indoors!

I have a hand me down shop light set-up that is on a wire rack and then I have my herbs set underneath it. It's not pretty but it gets the job done! The smaller plants are set up on milk crates and the taller herbs (lemon grass) sit on the bottom. It did great last year and I'm excited for adding a few more herbs this year.

Does my patio count as inside?

Sure, why not! Thanks for sharing! I like those wooden boxes. What holds the soil?
-
That's basically what i have for seed starting. I'm unsure if I have the right lights to grow more than just seedlings though.
-
I stuffed it with organic material, like hay and coconut fiber.

Hope you find a picture, would love to see it!

That looks great

Photo of a pvc pipe indoor light set. very cheap. Mine (over in the barn) has sides on it so you can attach trys to it and have two areas for lighting. I'll see if I can find instructions for that

I bought a grow light stand very similar to the one in the instructables article. Next time, I'll probably build one. I use it to start seeds, and grow microgreens.
