In honor of Earth Day, we are bringing you three ways to recycle that old mason jar you have sitting around.
1. Herb Mason Jars
You will need:
Herbs
Mason Jars
Potting Soil
Soil Cover Rocks
How-To:
Step One: Take your jars and fill the bottom 2-3 inches with the soil cover rocks.
Step Two: Fill the Jar about 2/3 of the way full with potting soil.
Step Three: Remove your herb from the container and crack the root. Sometimes the herbs can come in biodegradable containers you can plant but take them out and crack the root (loosen the dirt around the root).
Step Four: Gently shove the herb into your jar!
Step Five: Add more potting soil to the top. Pack it in there because when you water the herb the soil will settle.
Step Six: Water! If you look close you can see some seeping into the rocks… just like it is supposed too.
Now you are done and can enjoy fresh herbs all year long! Here I have planted Sweet Basil, Cilantro, Spearmint and Parsley.
