Is there room to add other herbs? (in addition to the seeds they give you?) I'd like to add Rosemary to the mix but don't know if there is room.

Although the box is quite small, there is room for additional herbs. You can easily fit in some rosemary.

Hi. I think the rosemary would outgrow the planter in a season and would be better units own pot. The planter seems best suited to tender annuals that you would use as they grow. I purchased as a gift, my daughter was delighted! HTH!

Sarah, Rosemary does grow to become a fairly large plant, but if it were me, I'd try it and if it becomes too big, either remove it, or just keep it trimmed so it remains small enough not to crowd out the other herbs.

The box is fairly small... only about room for 6 clumps of plants. There are many more seed than you need and you could simply replace one planting with whatever you desire.

Rosemary has very long roots, I'm afraid this planted wouldn't be deep enough for much more then a seedling.

The warmer, humid climes of Louisiana would be great for Holy Basil. But I would recommend getting it from another seller, this company is a scam sending some other seeds instead of holy basil.

The openings are pretty small....a normal mixed seed with sunflower and corn pieces etc. would be too large for the openings. I'd say it's better suited to just niger seed.

Don't be fooled by the picture..you get tiny little bags of several herbs. They are all herbs you can use in making salves and ointments and in ritual use. I wouldn't recommend cooking with them.

You're very welcome. If you want, you could click on my reviews, both at Sprout House Certified seeds and at the Stackable Sprout Garden by Handy Pantry, as being 'Helpful'. Hope your sprouting doubles!!

Can I choose the spices I want? Can't really use mustard seed, or a few of the others.

Yes you can, there are additional plants you can grow, the company, DuneCraft sells refill packs. I purchased a sweet pepper and tomato pack, but I haven't planted either one so I don't know how well they grow. I haven't checked to see if Amazon sells the refill pack or not. If you plan on growing the lettuce, it's the leaf lettuce the kind you would mix in a salad for extra greens. I hope this answers your question.

Hello: I am really not sure but I assume that it is the nectar which is natural there that they add to it so that you can bear the taste of the herbs. You can write to them and ask them they are very very friendly and very very helpful.

Yes. I did, just be careful not to add too much, seemed to make the consistency a little thinner. They also have a variety pack of 3 that already have essential oils in them. I just ordered w/essential oils, haven't received them yet.

I planted herbs in mine and they flourished. The box comes with starter fertilizer and I would think that is an item to repeat each planting season.

I threw them out honestley... all the herbs got stuck in the many different blades.. it was just a pain in the butt to fish them all out... even with the little comb they give you.... i just got fed up w/ them! Dont buy these.. i wasted my money!! buy a SINGLE blade scissor for cutting herbs!!! but really, rosemary u can just cut w/ a regular knife...

I mix this with other herbs/flowers and white tea. I usually put no more than five or six buds in my tea pot. I've never made tea with only the rose buds.

Mine had the same assortment as the response from phantomfan..If there is something you don't use too often you can replace it with the matching McCormink spices in the grocery stores. I think I swapped out 2 and replaced them with something that wasn't included but can't remember which one it was. They are readily available in most areas. Love my rack. It is so handy and I don't have to lose any counter space. Very good quality too.

The herbs listed by Robyn are correct. I am the original lister of this product, Raven Moonlight. I know there are other stores that piggy backed on our product, but Raven Moonlight is only responsible if you order from us not from other sellers. I have no idea what other sellers include in their products. All of our herbs in the sampler are also either organic or wild harvested. I am not sure what other sellers are selling. Also all of our Herbs ARE food and Medical grade so you CAN cook with them if applicable. Once again - I am not sure what other sellers are offering. Thank you!

Think you might end up with MUSH instead of a minced bean...use your chefs knife..chop-chop...think it would be better. This handy tool is great for herbs...parsley....etc

I'm thinking of getting this as a gift for someone. I just spoke to customer service. You can use your own seeds using the Master Garden Kit (on the website). According the rep I spoke to you can grow almost anything but they don't recommend anything branchy like rosemary or blueberries. He said he's seen mini pumpkins and mini cucumbers. So it seems it will grow almost anything as long as it's not branchy or doesn't grow on a tree.

This system is a little big for herbs. Your best bet for herbs and such would be an aerogarden deluxe or something similar.
