I’ve been itching to get out into my gardens  but its still January so I brought the garden inside!  These mason jar herb gardens are so fun!

Place 1” of stones in bottom of Mason jars. Since Mason jars don’t have any drainage, the stones will serve as interior “drainage holes” at the bottom.

After stones are in place, add ½” of charcoal to the bottom of the Mason jars. Charcoal balances the pH in soil, assists with drainage, and also prevents bacteria buildup in the soil due to overwatering. The bacteria can hurt the plant roots and cause disease or death in plants.

Add soil and herbs to each Mason jar. This is the fun part! The best part of Mason jars is that they make great planters, and they’re clear, so you can see when plant roots need watering.

Arrange plants how you want and ENJOY!
