Healing Herbs in Pots and Containers - Kindle Non-Fiction

Healing Herbs in Pots and Containers (Herbal Medicine from Your Garden or Windowsill) 
by Frann Leach

There are several reasons for growing your herbs in a pot or container:

- you might not have anywhere else to put them, but there's almost always
space for a few pots on the windowsill, or a windowbox at the very least.
- many herbs prefer soil that's quite low in nutrients, in contrast with the crops
and ornamentals in the rest of the garden, so putting your herbs in containers
makes sense
- the more attractive herbs usually look really nice in carefully chosen containers
- you can bring tender plants indoors when it gets cold, or grow them in a
greenhouse or conservatory all year round if they are like higher temperatures
than your home country allows
- some herbs, being basically wild plants, can be invasive if planted in the
open ground. Putting herbal remedies in pots helps to prevent them from
taking over the whole garden.

Once you've grown them, what can you use them for? There are many more medicinal plants than the ones used for cooking. Healing Herbs in Pots and Containers gives details of the remedies that can be made from each plant listed and its essential oil where available, as well as the type of remedy to use for each ailment.

Don't run the risk of using the wrong part of the plant - which can be worthless, or even dangerous in some cases. In this book you'll find all the information you need to grow and use your own home remedies in pots and containers.
