Mason jar herb garden maintenance!

Hi guys! Today we are going to to some work on our mason jar herb garden. The herbs need some trimming and some of the soil levels are going down. Let’s get started!

First we need to help our cilantro. I’m gonna give it a hair cut and add some more soil.

Next we need to trim the lavender. All I’m gonna do is take of the seed leaves and add some more soil.

Now we need to trim the mint. When you cut mint, you can be a little bit more aggressive because it is a more vigorous herb.

Lastly, we need to trim the chives. Trimming chives can be a little tricky because of the way their leaves are shaped. I like to just cut the tips off of my chive seedlings.

How to grow mason jar herb garden!

Hi guys! Today I am going to start a series about growing a garden indoors for people who don’t have an outdoor garden and/or for anyone who wants to grow a garden indoors. Let’s get started!

The first step to grow herbs in mason jars it to (obviously) get a mason jar. Your mason jar could be anything from a cleaned jam or salsa jar, to a store bought jar. I like to use recycled jam, salsa, etc. for growing my herbs inside.

Next, we need some soil and drainage material. The drainage material helps to hold the excess water from the plant‘s soil so the roots do not rot. Drainage material can be rocks, shells, or broken terra-cotta pieces. When you get your soil, it’s important to buy potting mix because if you just get it from outside, it can have bugs, other seeds, and more things you don’t want in your mason jar herb garden. To fill your mason jar, place your drainage material on the bottom to about 1/2 to 1 inch high.

Then, take your potting mix and fill your jar till the soil level is around where the cap screws on.


After your mason jar is filled, chose the type of herb seeds you want and plant them according to the packet they came in. Plus, don’t forget to label your jar so you know what is inside it!

After you plant your seeds, gently water them and place your mason jar in a sunny area. Most herbs like full sun, which it 6+ hours of sun. Depending on how big your mason jar is, you should water your plant every other day to every day.

Thanks for reading today’s post! Keep a lookout for an update on my herbs, and my next post. See you then!
