I’m sure the biggest question on your mind right now is, should you plant your own herbs or continue buying them? On one hand, it’s a fantastic feeling to plant something and see your herbs sprout from a seed into a full-blown plant, and on the other hand, it’s quite pricey to keep on buying them from the stores which will cost you anywhere between $2-$5 depending on how you like your food.

I get it. It’s easy to just head over to the store and grab a packet of whatever you need but if you really calculate in terms of yearly expenses, these items do cost quite a bit. Imagine all the other stuff you could have bought with that little savings!

That’s why I vote for growing your own herbs! Sure, it does take time and a bit of nurturing but after a while, it becomes a hobby you’ll love.

And, don’t be fooled by those who claim planting is costly. There are tons of recycling projects that will show you how to upcycle ordinary items and turn them into a genius herb garden.

So, if you’re looking to start your very own DIY herb garden, we’ve got the best ideas right here for you!
