Growing herbs in containers with grow lights (in a grow box) is one of my favorite ways (next to using a hydroponic system) of indoor gardening. This is a quick look at my indoor herb garden…hope you enjoy!
Growing herbs indoors is efficient and feasible if you do it correctly, and you always have fresh herbs to use for cooking.
Herbs do well when growing in containers as long as you provide good lighting and ventilation. You can grow herbs in a grow box, grow tent, or by simply placing your containers adjacent to south facing windows…this is where most natural sunlight will penetrate indoors.
Parsley, Rosemary, and Basil were just a few examples today on herbs being grown indoors, but there are a vast array of other herbs that will grow nicely indoors. There’s nothing better than having your own fresh cooking herbs growing indoors to use at your leisure.

Are those computer fans hooked up to a computer power source and then plugged into the wall?
Yes, those are computer fans, and I spliced the wires with an AC adapter (old cell phone charger that I had laying around). You could use a computer power source, but that would be very bulky.
Growing herbs indoors in container will grow very well when there is sufficient light and proper ventilation. Aside from its easy to look and manage, you can pick up anytime a fresh and nutritious foods right in your home. Avoid worrying for fresh foods since you can start your lifestyle healthy and green through growing your own veggies. Thanks for the great information!
I'm so glad to see someone using the lower wattage cfl bubs in a simple setup that works so well. Please do more videos.
Very nice grow box setup! I'm gonna keep this video in mind when I make New one. Thanks for sharing
Nice set up. Thanks for sharing.
I got this for the herbs. In Michigan, our growing time depends on weather and ours is screwey>>>t.co/IsTDm9NHHC It can snow, rain, hail, and have very warm temperatures all in the same week. Since I love fresh herbs and we have between a three to five month growing season, depending on weather, because, you know, lake effect, this was the best option. I'm already impressed. Lights bright, but it acts as a nightlight so my grandkids can find my bed and wake me up. Truthfully, not very fond of that, but I blame the grandkids more than the light. I truly love this
