What you will take away from today  How to successfully grow herbs indoors  Cultivation  Soils/Growing medium  Nutritional needs  Insects and disease control  Herbs to grow indoors  Harvesting your bounty  Sources of Information

Herbs Plants valued for their flavor, fragrance, medicinal and insecticidal qualities or economic or industrial use, or in the case of dyes, for the pigments they provide

History “An herb is the friend of physicians and the praise of cooks.” – Charlemagne  Lascaux cave paintings depict herbs dating back perhaps as much as 25,000 years!  Referenced in Indian, Chinese and Egyptian writings for medicinal uses  In the Middle Ages, herbs were uses to preserve meat, mask odors, and were associated with witchcraft and paganism  First accounts of food use or in cooking date back to the Romans

Why Grow Herbs?  Easily grown indoors or outdoors, in pots or in the garden  Very little space is needed  Few pests or diseases  Rewards are tangible

Indoor Container Cultivation  Types of plants: – Annuals – Biennials – Perennials  Grown from: – Seeds – Cuttings – Division of roots  Well drained growing medium using soil-less mix and compost or Leafgro

Indoor Container Cultivation  Prefer full sun or under grow lights – 6 or more hours of sun daily – Under lights, hours under T-5 fluorescent lights (more expensive than T-8 lights, 2-3 times the output)  Fertilize sparingly with a slow release form, if at all  Water requirements depend on indoor environment and location

Soils  The right mixture: 50% compost and 50% soilless potting mix, OR… – 30% Topsoil (weedless commercial) – 30% Compost – 30% Peat Moss – 10% Perlite  Test soil pH – is optimal

Indoor Nutritional Needs  Fertilizer: seedlings will require an initial small dose  Plants should be fed about every 2 weeks  Most sources recommend natural or organic – follow the label  Water when the soil feels dry to the touch – don’t drown them!

Insects and Disease  Less susceptible possibly because of their fragrance and flavors  Major insects: AphidsWhiteflies MitesSlugs

Control of Diseases and Insects  A healthy growing environment is important to control insects and especially diseases  Mechanical control – preferred for light insect infestation  Chemical control of insects: – Home Remedies - insecticidal soap, Neem oil, lemon or vinegar spray – Registered pesticides - Safer’s Insecticidal Soap and EcoBlend Organic Insecticidal Soap

Ideal Indoor Herbs  Most any herb can be grown indoors, good light, water and the right nourishment are key  Food Favorites: Sweet basilDillMint ChivesOreganoParsley CilantroSageThyme  Aromatic Favorites: LavenderAloe vera Chamomile

Harvesting and Preserving Highlights Harvesting: Flowers – Pick as they fully open Seeds – Fully ripe (no green showing) Leaves – depends on the species Preserving: Freezing – Rinse well, pat dry, cut into small pieces and place on waxed paper or ice cube tray wrapped in freezer bags. Drying: Similar to dehydrator directions; bundle stems removing leaves near base, secure with elastic band, hang in dark cool location.
