Indoor gardening has been around for a long time, but as more people concern themselves with eating healthier and fresher foods, and more of those people live in homes without the yard space necessary for a traditional garden, indoor gardening has become extremely popular. After all, who wouldn't want fresh vegetables and herbs all year round without spending a fortune at the grocery store? Who wouldn't want to be able to ensure their family is eating produce grown in good soil, unaffected by harsh chemical pesticides?

Anyone can grow their own vegetables and herbs without a traditional garden, and most crops which can be grown outside can also be grown inside. Indoor gardening is great not only for those with little to no yard space, but it's fabulous for beginners. It doesn't take a lot of money or time and allows beginner gardeners to start slowly and grow into larger gardens.
