3. Insert the yarn through the opening of the tape. Leave about 3 inches of yarn outside of the bottle.
8. Sprinkle water on seed and soil to make it damp. Do not over water since your planter will be receiving water through the yarn from the bottom.
Depending on your local temperature, water can be added just once or twice a week. Have fun and enjoy watching your herb grow!
