Mason jar herb garden

How to make it

1. 

   1

   Add a pebble layer

   Pour about 1 in of pebbles into each jar. Extra water drains into this space instead of the roots.

   Check the fit

   Set a nursery pot inside each jar. The pot should sit on the pebbles with its rim near the jar's mouth.

   Leave the plant potted

   Keep each herb in its plastic pot with drainage holes. Mason jars have none, so this is what keeps roots healthy.

   Label the jars

   Write each herb's name on a label and stick it on the glass.

   Find the sun

   Line them up on a window that gets at least 6 hours of light a day.

   Water the smart way

   Lift the pot out, water it in the sink and let it drain. Set it back in the jar.
