Look, I’m a fan of any hobby that provides you with something to eat!
Whether it’s indoor hydroponics, or outdoor gardening… I’m in!
But how about this: we scale our ambitions down a little and combine the two into a mini, hassle-free, and great looking kitchen countertop garden.
The herb gardens selected for this article have to meet the following conditions:
- They have to weigh less than 8 pounds.
- They have to cost less than $100. There’s simply no reason to bust the bank growing herbs. Even the automated growing kits listed below cost less than $100. Oh, and yes they still work remarkably well.
- They have to look good. This is arbitrary of course but half the fun of an indoor herb garden is the aesthetic appreciation.
- They must yield at least 3 herbs for each planting phase. For this reason, most selections on this list are ‘kits’.
I’m going to have fun with this list and include some ‘standard’ seed starting kits, with a few distinctive hydroponic ones.
Alright, let’s get into it!
