To start out, you'll need potting soil, assorted herbs, pebbles for drainage, chalk, chalk labels, Mason jars, and a vintage milk bottle carrier. Cover Bottom of Jars with Pebbles Begin by preparing each jar for planting. Cover the bottom of the jar with pebbles, ensuring they are distributed evenly. Fill With Potting Mix and Plant Herb Fill each jar with potting mix atop the pebbles and plant the herb. Here are some easy-to-grow herbs. Apply Chalk Labels Whether you decide to plant thyme, mint, or basil -- write down the names of the herbs on your chalk stickers and apply to the designated plants. Place Planted Herb in Milk Carrier Now you can easily move your favorite herbs from your windowsill to the sink, stovetop, or food prep station! Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
