Luckily, there is a thing that could help you out in all three ways and that is having your own indoor vegetable garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Benefits_of_an_indoor_vegetable_garden\">Benefits of an indoor vegetable garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many perks to growing vegetables at home and having your own herb corner with some being quite obvious, while others not so much. But something everyone can agree on is that is completely worth the time and effort and those benefits can turn into essentials in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you\u2019re still debating, here are a couple of those perks to win you over!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Significantly better air quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we are taught from a very early age, plants are just as alive as we are but they are also extremely important for our survival. As they \u201cbreathe\u201d, plants release the vital oxygen, we kind of need to keep living. So having a whole garden inside your home can act as a carbon dioxide filter that will quickly enrich the air in your home and keep your pets and family healthy and happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You control the growing season and weather of your garden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside anything can happen &#8211; extreme heat or cold, rain, storms, winds, tornados, tsunamis and even wild animal attacks. Nature can be dangerous and unpredictable. However, inside the borders of your home, you control the weather, growing season and overall the whole life of your herbs and vegetables. You are the complete God of the seasons and indoor gardening.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extremely therapeutic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been proven many times already that gardening &#8211; no matter if it\u2019s outside or inside, can be quite a healing therapy session and do we all need one right now! If you have kids or pets, you probably know how meaningful taking care of someone else can be. Growing herbs indoors and having your own personal vegetable paradise requires regular care and a lot of learning, but if done properly, you will be rewarded in the end and the feeling is amazing. For many people who others thought were beyond repair, taking care of plants or pets has been the path to salvation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Educational<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining an indoor garden is not the hardest thing in the world but it\u2019s definitely not the easiest. You will learn a lot of new things along the way and expand your overall flora knowledge. And if you have kids, teaching them to care for plants is a great indoor activity that will teach them patience, persistence and appreciation for nature as a whole.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fresh produce all year round<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And the most obvious one &#8211; having fresh vegetables and herbs whenever you need to. Some vegetables and herbs can be difficult to keep fresh for a longer period of time, they could be quite costly at the store and you never know what their path has been before reaching the counters &#8211; if they have been in contact with pesticides or preservatives. But growing vegetables at home means that you will have them at your disposal at all times. Whenever you need a couple of basil leaves or a tomato, you just reach out and grab them, instead of going to the store for the 5th time this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Tools_you_will_need_for_your_gardening_project\">Tools you will need for your gardening project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"915\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gardening-tools-indoor-vegetable-garden-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gardening-tools-indoor-vegetable-garden-1.jpg 915w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gardening-tools-indoor-vegetable-garden-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gardening-tools-indoor-vegetable-garden-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gardening-tools-indoor-vegetable-garden-1-360x203.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 915px) 100vw, 915px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">haveseen \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Before you start, you will have to do some shopping and gather everything required to keep a healthy vegetable and herb garden. Here is what we recommend:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Light<\/strong> &#8211; Sometimes natural light might not be enough for your plants to truly thrive and succeed. This is why we recommend investing in grow lights for both the herbs and the vegetables.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pots and containers with drainage holes<\/strong> &#8211; There is no need to buy some expensive, fancy-looking pots in order to give your plants a happy life &#8211; just about any container with holes at the bottom will do the work.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Labels to put on the containers<\/strong> &#8211; Each plant has a specific care routine that you will have to follow. However, in the beginning, you can\u2019t really tell which is which, so to make things easier, just put labels on the different containers.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A cool-mist humidifier<\/strong> &#8211; When growing plants indoors you will basically try to imitate their outside living conditions as much as you can. This is why we recommend that you buy a humidifier that will slowly release a cool mist with no artificial aromas &#8211; just water. This will keep your plants from drying out.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gravel<\/strong> &#8211; You can put some gravel at the bottom of your containers, below the soil, in order to improve drainage.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soil<\/strong> &#8211; Thankfully, there are many potting mixes for veggies and herbs that contain all the needed nutrients for your new plant babies and will give them quite a head start.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fertilizer<\/strong> &#8211; Well, you know, to fertilize.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gardening tools<\/strong> &#8211; Sturdy gloves, trowel, cultivator, twine, pruning saw and shears.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_to_grow_vegetables_indoors\">How to grow vegetables indoors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/growing-vegetables-indoors.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/growing-vegetables-indoors.jpg 912w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/growing-vegetables-indoors-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/growing-vegetables-indoors-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/growing-vegetables-indoors-360x203.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Olga Miltsova \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, making your own DIY indoor vegetable garden isn\u2019t as hard as it sounds.

In order to take care of tomatoes indoors, you will need to choose a smaller sort as they can get quite heavy and difficult to maintain inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can start by planting seeds or already-grown seedlings.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you go with seeds you can place them in separate yogurt containers, putting the seed in the middle.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the soil moist and find a warm, sunny location where they can germinate.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once it turns into a seedling, transfer it to a bigger container, with good drainage and make sure that it\u2019s at least 10 cm deep in the soil so that the plant can develop a strong root system, important for sustaining the weight afterwards.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now that the plant is finally growing into an adult, turn it around at least once a day to make sure all sides are getting enough light.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomatoes are self-pollinating so normally they just do their own thing without any other plants around them. However, if they need any help &#8211; just tap the stems of the flowers or slightly shake the tomato to encourage pollination.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomatoes take from 60 to 80 days to produce their fruits so be patient.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure to get rid of dead leaves, and water regularly and you will enjoy juicy tomatoes for years to come.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carrots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> These bad boys are actually quite easy to take care of. They are part of the veggies that tolerate colder weather and can easily survive in temperatures around 15 degrees Celsius. Just like the tomatoes, however, if you want to make your life easier, choose a smaller sort so they would take up less space and mature a lot quicker.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose the pot by how big you want the carrots to get. As long as they have space, they will grow.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the soil in the container, moisten it and sprinkle the seeds freely.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find a nice sunny place or a nice big lamp to put your container. Carrots will need around 10 hours a day of sunlight in order to develop fully.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water them regularly and don\u2019t let the soil get too dry.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seeds usually germinate within 2 weeks so when that happens, make sure that you thin out the sprouts, leaving at least 5 cm in between seedlings.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carrots should take around 70 days to start growing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green salads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes lettuce, spinach, mesclun, arugula and whatever your heart desires. These guys are probably the easiest ones on the list. They are completely fine with shallow containers and grow very quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fill your long container, around 15cm deep, with soil and dampen it.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spread the seeds and press them lightly against the soil.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep them moist and they should start germination within one week.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let your green boys grow at least 15 cm in height before you start snipping them for your salad.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pull or just cut the leaves you will need and allow the rest of the plant to recover and start growing again.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Radishes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> Radishes are quite fun to grow and they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. However, we do recommend that you start with the normal red radishes, as they are the easiest to take care of.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by choosing a container that is at least 20 cm deep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plant the seeds in a moistened soil, around 2 cm from the surface and wait until they germinate.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thin out the seedlings so they can have a place to grow and reach their full potential.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It usually takes around 30 to 40 days until harvesting time comes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure to take them out quickly so they don\u2019t turn bitter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"check-price-box\">\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__body\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"check-price-box__title\">Want to have pretty flowers growing in your garden, too?<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t<p class=\"check-price-box__desc\">We can take make it happen!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"form form--full-width form--check-price dynamic-helper\">\n    <form class=\"default-check-price-form\" action=\"\">\n        <div class=\"form__inner\">\n            <div class=\"form__field the-postfield-wrap\">\n                <span class=\"icon-holder\">\n                    <i class=\"icon-pointer\"><\/i>\n                <\/span>\n\n                <input class=\"field the-postfield\" type=\"text\" name=\"postcode-field\" placeholder=\"Enter your post code\" data-service-category=\"23\"\/>\n                <span class=\"focus-label\"><\/span>\n                <div class=\"field-error-msg\">Add a valid postcode e.g. 3000<\/div> <!-- \/.field-error-msg -->\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__field -->\n\n            <div class=\"form__btn submit-wrapper-with-loader active\">\n                <div class=\"load-holder-lds-eclipse\">\n                    <div class=\"load-lds-eclipse\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <input class=\"btn btn--large checkpPricesSubmit\" name=\"check-prices-submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Get a quote\" rel=\"nofollow\" disabled\/>\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__btn -->\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.form__inner -->\n    <\/form>\n<\/div> <!-- \/.check-price-form -->\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__body -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__img\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/fantasticservices-com-blog\/assets\/images\/check-price-box\/gardener.png\" alt=\"Want to have pretty flowers growing in your garden, too?\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__img -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget card-widget--obf-form -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Growing_herbs_indoors\">Growing herbs indoors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/growing-herbs-in-the-kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/growing-herbs-in-the-kitchen.jpg 912w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/growing-herbs-in-the-kitchen-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/growing-herbs-in-the-kitchen-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/growing-herbs-in-the-kitchen-360x203.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lapina \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A nice herb indoor garden can be quite useful to any household so we\u2019ve prepared this short guide and list of different herbs you can grow indoors and how to take care of them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to grow herbs indoors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the conditions are fairly the same with all the different herbs, we will sum up with a general guide and then let you know all the specifics regarding the various plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If artificial light was slightly recommended for growing veggies indoors, then herbs are almost mandatory. Most of them require a lot of strong sunlight to thrive and that can be difficult to maintain, especially in the winter. Buy a couple of fluorescent lights and use them for all the plants.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plant each herb in a different container.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure there is good drainage. Just like with the vegetables, you can put gravel at the bottom. In case there aren\u2019t enough holes in the container, put more.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plant the seeds around 5cm apart from each other and make sure to wait in between waterings.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most herbs are not very moisture resistant and they might rot if you overwater them.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure that the plants will get at least 7 hours of light each day.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a general organic fertilizer to help out your herbs and give them the best life possible. You can start once they begin germination. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best indoor herbs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basil<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With this guy, it\u2019s very important to check the pH level of the soil at least once a month. It should vary between 6.0 and 7.5. Make sure the container has great drainage as basil\u2019s roots can start rotting very quickly. Use only organic fertilizers in order not to change the flavour.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rosemary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosemary, actually is very hard to start from a seed, which is why we recommend that you begin with a cutting. Snip one from a grown plant, remove the bottom leaves, dip the lower end in a rooting hormone and place the cutting in a small container with moist soil. Make sure to gently mist the babies daily and check for root development. Once the roots begin to grow, start trimming the tops in order to stimulate branches. It\u2019s best to have a single plant in each container.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oregano<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Light is the most important here, so make sure it gets enough of it. Oregano is quite resistant to drought so it\u2019s best to always wait for the soil to dry until you water it again. Once you have the adult plant, you can start pinching the leaves whenever you need them. This will also stimulate the oregano to become even bushier and bigger.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parsley<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Seedlings will need their space so make sure there is at least 10cm of space between them. Opposite to the oregano, parsley actually needs a lot of water in order to reach its full potential so make sure the soil is never dry and mist the leaves often. If you want to always have this useful herb in your kitchen, sow seeds every year, as parsley dies out on the second and it cannot be used again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thyme<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With thyme, you don\u2019t need to start from seeds as it\u2019s generally easy to find adult plants and just take care of them. Just make sure that it\u2019s placed in a bright and warm location, wait for the soil to dry between waterings and you will be good to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t\t<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__title\">You may also like:<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__title -->\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__body\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"related-article__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/spring-bulbs-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Spring Bulbs: What &#038; When to Plant\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/spring_bulbs_featured-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Spring flowering bulbs to plant\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5120px) 100vw, 5120px\" title=\"Planting,Spring,Flowers,In,Sunny,Garden\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure> <!-- \/.related-article__image -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__desc\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"badge-holder\">\n\t<span class=\"badge badge--color-2\">Gardening Advice<\/span>\n<\/div>  <!-- \/.badge-holder --> \n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/spring-bulbs-guide\/\" class=\"short-text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Spring Bulbs: What &#038; When to Plant\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSpring Bulbs: What &#038; When to Plant\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__desc -->\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__body -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article -->\t\n\t<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_to_protect_your_vegetables_and_herbs_from_pests\">How to protect your vegetables and herbs from pests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While having an indoor vegetable garden system surely eliminates most of the pests you would have to deal with normally, protection is still quite important if you want to enjoy healthy herbs and vegetables.&nbsp; For example, curl grubs are one of the most invasive pests in Australia, they will not care if your garden is on the inside.
