Potato & Serejka
Serejka
Hey, I've been thinking about setting up a small herb garden on the windowsill—do you have any low‑maintenance ideas for keeping it simple and efficient?

Sure thing! Pick a few easy herbs like basil, mint, and parsley. Use small pots with good drainage, maybe recycled ones you already have. Water them once a week, or when the soil feels dry. A sunny windowsill works great, and you can add a small dish of compost or use a slow‑release fertilizer. Keep a small notebook for dates so you know when to repot or trim. Easy, simple, and you’ll have fresh herbs right at home.

Sounds practical, but I’d add a soil moisture probe so you’re not guessing when to water. Also, mint can outgrow the pot—maybe use a separate container for that one. Keep the notebook, but I’d suggest adding a column for soil pH; it saves the hassle of late‑stage adjustments.

That’s a smart tweak! A moisture probe keeps the watering routine stress‑free, and separating the mint stops it from turning the whole garden into a jungle. Adding a pH column is a nice touch—just a quick check and you’re all set. Keep it simple, and you’ll have a cozy little herb corner in no time.

Sounds like a solid plan—just remember to keep the probe calibrated and check it every couple of weeks; that’s the one place where guesswork can creep in if you’re not careful. Once you get the rhythm, the whole thing will run itself.

Good reminder about the calibration—small details make all the difference. Once you find that rhythm, you’ll have a quiet, thriving herb corner without a lot of extra work. Enjoy the fresh flavors!
