Growing Your Chia Herb Garden
If you want to have some herbs readily available for you, you might want to think about growing a Chia herb garden. By having a Chia herb garden, you will be able to have fresh herbs in your home all year. With your Chia herb garden, you can have your very own culinary herb garden. Here are some ways to keep your herb garden flourishing all year.
Sprouting Seeds
When you first start seeing the seeds sprout in your Chia herb garden, it is important that you keep the sponges moist. They need to be very moist and you should be able to see about a quarter inch of water in the saucer liners. If you do not keep enough water and moisture in the sponges, chances are there won’t be enough water for the seeds to sprout well, and you won’t be able to have the herbs you want. If you need more information on herb garden information, you can always call the Chia herb garden help line to learn more.
In addition, when the seeds are first sprouting, it really does not matter whether or not they have darkness or light. Instead, the most important thing to remember is that the soil temperature needs to be kept at the proper temperature. The soil temperature would be perfect around 70 degrees Farenheit. If your house is too cold, try placing the Chia herb garden on top of your water heater. You can place the garden on top of your refrigerator to keep the temperature right if your house is too warm.
In conjunction with the temperature, herbs will grow best with increased humidity around them. One way to create this environment for your Chia herb garden is to place an open plastic bag around the garden. You can use a small sandwich bag if it fits, or a larger gallon sized bag if necessary. You will begin to see some condensation inside of the bag because the humidity will increase. This is the best environment for a seeds to sprout: warm and humid!
After The Seeds Sprout
After the seeds sprout, things are different. You will need to first place the Chia herb garden to a windowsill so that it receives plenty of sunlight. A southern or western window will give enough sunlight as long as the window is not blocked by anything. However, you need to be careful enough to keep your Chia herb garden about four or five inches away from the window. In the winter, the herbs may freeze and in the summer, they can get too hot. Another thing, make sure that the herbs get watered like you would water any other house plant. Once the seeds have sprouted, they do not need to have any extra amount of water.
