This is awesome, and can be done with many types of jars. I do have a question, with the weight of the filled jars and the plants, what keeps the board from tipping over? Thank you. Δ 11 Responses to “Build a Fun Indoor Herb Garden Out of Mason Jars” Mail (required) (will not be published).Place the board in a sunny kitchen spot, and you’ll always have fresh herbs just a few steps away! Now just fill the jars with soil and plant your herbs! You might want to make a cute label for each jar so you don’t get ‘em mixed up. This drains and absorbs any excess water so it can’t harm your roots. Start by placing small rocks or gravel at the bottom of your jars. So it’s important to take extra steps to protect the roots from excess water. In case you haven’t noticed, mason jars don’t have drainage holes. Repeat these steps until each mason jar is in place and the glue is dry. Tie ‘em together in the back of your board and cut off any excess twine. The twine will hold the jar against the board, but to make sure it’s secure enough to hold the weight of your plants, go ahead and add some glue.Īfter adding a strong adhesive, pull both ends of twine so the jar is tightly against the board. (Don’t tie it down snug yet - you’ll do that after you add glue in the next step.) 3. Thread the twine through the drilled holes and use it to loosely connect your jars to the board, looping the twine a few times for strength. Don’t get too caught up on the exact length - you can always cut off the excess later. Thread the TwineĬut a long length of jute twine. That way you can get the positioning perfect and mark in pencil where your holes will go. Pro Tip: Before you start drilling, lay your jars on the board to find the placements you love. You need two holes for each jar, spaced so you’ll have one hold on either side of the jar’s mouth. Start by drilling holes through your wooden board. Herbs like dill, thyme, rosemary, parsley and cilantro.
