Fresh herbs add a special touch to any dish, and these Mason jar gardens will ensure you’ll always have some on hand. They make great gifts, too.
Materials:
— Wide-mouth Mason jars
— Herbs
— Potting soil
— Soil-cover rocks
— Water
— Labels
1. Add about 2 inches of rocks to each jar. Water will be drawn through the soil into the rocks, preventing the soil from becoming moldy.
2. Add potting soil until the jar is two-thirds full. (If you are using seeds, fill all the way, plant your seeds and water.)
3. Remove the herbs from their containers and loosen the dirt around the roots. Gently place the herbs into your jars, with the greenery sticking out.
4. Fill jars to the top with potting soil, tamping around the herbs. Water your herbs and watch the water seep into the rocks.
5. Label your herbs. I used chalkboard wood stakes.
