Container Herb Garden - Container Gardening-Insightful Nana

[glamkitten24]

When you buy a store-bought young plant, oftentimes you get those Styrofoam beads at the bottom of the soil. I always found that an annoyance, but I plant it with them none the less. I pick out larger chunks if I can. If there is a biodegradable variety, I imagine it's superior to commercial.

I don't know if I like that package peanuts thing. What if you have to replant the container? Do you stir up the packaging peanuts into the soil? Or will you pick them out? I don't like that it doesn't biodegrade and add to the soil. I wonder if you could use cardboard pieces instead?

This is more what I did.

Dear Insightful Nanna,

Love your user name. I was wandering whether it would be possible to use those "bio-packing peanuts" that are made from some sort of vegetable matter. or does it need to be the styrophone variety so they dont degrade?

thanks!

I want to thank you for this video. I live on the 3rd floor in an apartment and have a real sunny back door entrance area. I have love this container. However what would you recommend I put under the container cause it's not going to be outdoors? Again thank you so much for posting

I didn't know u could plant ...herbs all together like that??wont the roots get tangled?

[murphyld66]

More and more packing peanuts are made from cornstarch so they aren't as detrimental to the environment. When they get wet they turn to mush and start to decompose.

[Insightfulnana]

Yes... any type of container will do.... as long as it is deep enough.

i had no idea you could grow that many things in one container, will these have to be repotted at all ?

I've never used packing peanuts, what a great idea! Thanks
