Besides mint which I am pretty sure I could grow in my cupboard, I am interested in growing things like basil and coriander year round. I understand that coriander especially is a little whiney baby at the best of times, and I need my coriander to withstand days on end of overcast skies and very cold temperatures overnight.
The best solution I have been able to find is these ratchet grow mats off Amazon which are too wide to find my windowsill anyway, or these electric incubators which are too small for anything larger than a sapling. Do I just have to give up and place something like an AeroGarden on another free counter? I don't like this idea either, because I need to 1) import this thing from the US and 2) I think it makes me dependent on their seedpods to get started every time?
I just wanna grow
There are knockoff aero gardens out there. And you don't have to use their seed pods. I got one as a gift awhile back and I make my own pods with coco coir.
That's really helpful to know.
