New to Owl Bee Hare

     Someone recently suggested that I try a "Tip of the Day". After about three seconds of considering the idea I decided to give it a go.

     To kick off this new adventure I am going to do a brief series on what to do with used coffee grounds; and if you are anything like me you have plenty.

Herb Garden

 This Boxwood Basil and Mint herb garden is a house warming gift for my sister. 
Want to make one of your own? To do so follow the steps below and enjoy!

Items:
Soil
Herbs
Mason Jars (quart sized are shown)
Small Stones

Optional:
Basket
Tags
Twine

      1.  Line the bottom of the jar with the stones. (This helps fight pooling of water in the soil.) 
      2. Fill about 2/3rds- 3/4ths of the way with soil depending the length of the roots. 
      3. Insert plant.
      4. Top with soil. 
      5. Water.  
      6. Place jars in a basket and add tags tied with twine; or anything else you wish to do to make it uniquely yours.
