DIY MASON JAR HERB GARDEN
Grow your own herb garden using supplies you probably already have around the house. This DIY indoor Mason Jar herb garden was easy to do and you can make one, too!
All you need is a mason jar or similar jar. Wide neck is easier than a narrow neck. You also need sand, rocks, soil and seeds. We used basil for our herb garden, but you could use a variety of herbs.
Directions: Fill the jar with about an inch of sand, followed by 1-2 inches of rocks, topping it off with about 2 inches of soil. Sprinkle a few seeds on top, cover with soil and water your seeds a couple times a week. It did several weeks before the basil grew large enough for us to use a few leaves. We also put our jars outside for a couple weeks because our original location in our school room was north facing. Once the basil was big enough for us to use, we moved it back in the house and put it in the kitchen. It looks beautiful and it’s functional!
Supplies:
-jar
-sand
-rocks
-soil
-seeds
Cost: Less than $1 per jar
Duration:
set up -15 minutes
project -10 minutes
clean up -10 minutes
sprout -1 week
leaves -3 weeks
big enough to use -6 weeks

Wow, I adore it.
How do you eventually move the roots out of the Jar? Anybody
I love the coffee mill you have on the countertop next to the herbs. Can you tell me where you found it?
Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing this – maybe the sand was my missing ingredient before. Our Mason jar herbs never lived very long! You bring so much beauty to our HS!
Definitely testing out my green 💚 thumb 🪴🌱😊
What kind of soil? Just potting soil, or soil with nutrients like rapid grow?
hey, is it mandatory to use sand? I don’t have any sand and i’m trying to grow plants with things i already have at home 🙂
what’s with the music can’t hear what you are saying with all that playing on top of your speaking
can we do the same with Parsley ?
Why sand?
DIY Mason Jab Herb Garden, Good Job 🙂
Can I just say how amazing you are?! ☺️💗🍃
How do your plants do in such little soil? Or is this a temp thing for them to be transferred elsewhere later.
I’m so gonna try this, loved it! X
Love this!!!!!
I love it!! I have a clean glass salsa jar saved just for this! 💕
I have a outher question , so if you plant those seeds in a jar , so how do you get them out when you want to put them in the garden or in a pot ,
mashaAllah❤❤
There should be something between the rocks and the soil or if not it will create root rot
This is so awesome. I need to do this with the kids, they will love it!
All the Mason jar grow kits had horrible reviews, mold growth was the chief complaint!
One of the only videos where you showed planting actual seeds! How long do they last in the mason jar?
Great job! Thanks for the inspiration!
I have a quick question is this a self watering plant or not.
Love this!!!
This is so beautiful…I am going to try this in a mason jar. How often and time do you need to take it outside?
The roots will get algae
can i just add only soil ? and seed of course
Why? She never WHY she’s doing these things :/
Hi Hannah! , would this work for growing chives ? Thank you!
Love this
Pepper and Pine, Can you recommend organic seeds? Thanks
Really amazing video
Great idea but didnt work out for us. Roots ended up sitting in water as no drainage and it got to the point where this stunted growth. Transplated into a pot and they thrived.
I am totally new to gardening. Can I put them on my balcony where it has 5-6 hour direct sun light everyday. Will too much sunlight stop herbs from growing? I have three cats at home so there is no way that I can grow them inside my house 😂
nice Hana,
What kind of sand is needed for this project ?
terrible audio
Can you use a substitute for the sand?
So easy..thankyou for sharing .like it
Hi. Is the sand necessary? Can I just add the stones and then the soil on top? Also do you add fertilizer at all during this process or after?
Which soil you have used please..
Can you do this with a plant and just transplant it into the jar? Or do you have to start from seeds?
I just love the look of plants in mason jars! We did this with an avocado pit.
ok, new to gardening here, but don’t you have to make holes in the bottom of the jar so that the water goes through?
Your signs for the plants are so cute. I never thought of making them that way
