How To Grow 5 Everyday Herbs In Your Kitchen Without Any Soil #IndiaNEWS #Agriculture
Want to use freshly picked ingredients from your kitchen garden to cook delicious meals?
Even if you don’t have enough space, you can grow everyday herbs like lemongrass, rosemary, and mint right inside your kitchen.
How? Through a small hydroponic setup near the kitchen platform or window.
This can help you grow fresh herbs that fulfil the requirements of one family, without any complications or even soil.
Urban gardening expert Reshma Renjan, who lives in Bokaro, Jharkhand, shares a few simple steps you can do this in, with only a handful of containers and water.
1. Lemon Grass
Collect a few strands of lemon grass from a friend’s garden or from the market. Make sure its roots are also included. Leave it in a glass or container full of water. Give it a little sunlight and leave it aside. You will spot new roots and leaves sprouting from the plant within 15 days.
If you have space in the garden, you can also grow it in soil using the same steps. In fact, this will provide you faster results, in less than 10 days.
Use your fresh lemongrass in a cup of steaming tea or for an additional flavour punch in a variety of curries.

2. Rosemary
This aromatic herb is a must-have in most Italian dishes like pizzas, pastas and lasagnas, or even in flavoured rice.
Collect a six-inch cutting of rosemary from any garden or market. Pluck the leaves from the lower portion and place the cutting in water. Within 10 days, roots will emerge from the cuttings. After 20 25 days, you will be able to spot new branches and leaves. Remember to change the water once a week.

Did you know that besides being a delicious accompaniment to meals, rosemary can also help keep mosquitoes away? Check out how here.
3. Mint
Mint is one of the easiest herbs to grow in a garden. Let’s try to grow this in water this time.
Gather three or four mint cuttings from the market. Take two containers — one small and one big. Make a few holes on the top of the small container. Remove the leaves from the bottom portion of the cuttings and place them in these holes.
Now fill the other container with water and place the small box with the cuttings inside it.
Place the container in an area that receives ample sunlight. Change the water once a week. The leaves will grow out within a few days and you will spot new white roots inside the small box.
