I’ve been thinking about starting a tiny herb garden in a repurposed box—perfect for a neat, sustainable touch at home. Have you ever tried that?

That sounds solid—box gardens are low‑maintenance and tidy. First, line the box with a drainage layer—pebbles or broken pots—so roots won’t sit in water. Then choose herbs that fit the light you’ll get; basil and thyme need full sun, oregano can tolerate partial shade. Use a small potting mix and fill the boxes to about an inch below the rim so you can easily water without splashing. Set up a simple watering schedule: check the soil daily, water when the top inch feels dry, but never let it stay soggy. Label each herb so the system stays organized and you can spot any growth issues quickly. And if you keep a quick log of moisture and growth, you’ll catch problems before they become big setbacks. Good luck, and remember—precision is key, but a little flex will keep the garden thriving.
