If you’ve been toying with the idea of growing your own herbs, you should absolutely do it! Pick a spot near a window, either in your kitchen or balcony, and fill it with plants. You won’t regret it! Here’s why kitchen gardens are awesome.
1. You get fresh herbs whenever you want.
The next time you want a few leaves of tulsi or kadi patta, you can just pluck them off your plant instead of running down to buy them. Plus – you don’t have to keep buying a whole bundle for just a few leaves.
2. You know exactly what you’re putting in your food.
Nowadays, with all the pesticides being added to crops, it’s hard to know whether the food is safe to consume or not. If you grow it yourself, you know that the food is safe and chemical-free.
3. It works out cheaper.
Plants don’t cost much, and once they get settled in, all they need is a little water. Over time, you’ll save quite a bit on your grocery bill, especially if you normally buy organic food.
4. You become a lot healthier.
If you grow plants like tulsi and mint, you can start eating one or two of the leaves every day, or adding them to your morning tea. These herbs are loaded with medicinal benefits that include relief from respiratory disorders, improved dental care as well as treatment of fever, asthma, lung disorders, heart diseases and stress.
