Have you considered having herbs in pots primarily for decoration? I saw a Neat garden this weekend and I was attracted by the different kinds of small pots mostly planted to mint varieties. The owner said that mint is the easiest to grow of herbs and also the most used. And I have to agree that's why I am thinking of buying small fancy pots for that purpose. But I'm not thinking of our garden though. My plan is to use the pots as part of the interior decor of our living room. Do you agree that it is more practical to have such potted herbs in the living room instead of the figurines or empty jars? By the way, the suggested potting material is not soil but I forgot the name.
