Grow light for herb garden?
I have Basil, Parsley and Thyme sitting on my window. I don't think they are getting enough light. Should I buy one of those grow lights? Does anybody else have a year round herb garden? I though of buying one of thos clip on lightbulbs and installing a grow light.
Re: Grow light for herb garden?
IMO, florescent light bulbs are the way to go. The incandecent (or whatever the regular-shaped lightbulbs are called) get too hot for how close you need the light to the plant (just a few inches away).
Thyme is a perennial, but the basil & parsley aren't (parsley is biennial). As soon as they reproduce/flower, they will start to decline...and you'll need to start again. IMO, it's best to just freeze the excess of basil & parsley you get from summer planting instead of trying to keep them going.
