Yes this mix has beneficial microbes that help the plant absorb nutrients better. I use this soil mixed with a cheaper starter mix to use less of the espoma soil

I am using this potting mix to start all my plants this year and the herbs that I will keep in pots on my patio will remain in this mix for the growing season.

Not that I know of. If using in pots, just use your beter judgement and always go with less. I haven't had any issues with it. The bigger the plant, the more I would feel comfortable using.

It should work.. It's actually what I'm planning to do because I'm up in the mountains and we get weather well below freezing in the winter. I'd use a good sized pot and you'll want to trim shrub and roots back probably after the growing season.

You will probably want a clear plastic pot. It is easier to see the health of the roots and repot at a later date. Also, I would hazard a guess that the plastic pot has better drainage than the ceramic one.

I found it best to start them in a standard-sized styrofoam coffee cup (8 oz) with a small drainage hole in the bottom. Then I migrate the plants to larger pots after the herbs start to crowd out the cup. My basil and cilantro now sit in 8-inch pots. Don't try to remove the plants from the sponges. Just plant them sponge and all in the new pots (or course, get rid of the coffee cup at this point.)

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.

That's what we were going to do but ours died in the infancy stage :-(. I would recommend that you go to a nursery and ask which potting soil would be best as they have many varieties.

It would be better to use pots or long planters. I use pots and works very well.

I do not use this in the garden as I have billions of earthworms naturally. I use castings as part of my "recipe" for potting soil mix and germination mix. It is suggested to use 1/3 castings in your mix, and so far that has worked really well for me. My plants love it and I have not seen any sign of burn or nitrogen flash-growth. It has been especially helpful with germinating seeds because it has a natural anti-fungal property that helps baby sprouts, something I have always struggled with in my greenhouse. I suppose, if you wanted to put it in your garden, say in raised beds, I would go with 1/4 to 1/3 of whatever mix you're using.

You should be able to mix it and use it on houseplants. Again, this stuff does NOT smell good at all so if you are using this indoots be warned.

Yes, only for individual potting for you pond. I use pots that are design for ponds then I line the pots with weed barrier that is used for vegetable gardens. Then fill with aquatic plant media.

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

I recommend you pickup one of the great books out there on Herb gardens or Urban Self Sufficiency. Starter pots/Beds and and transfer to 4" pots once they are 2" high. There are a lot of other ways to do it, just remember to provide adequate watering and drainage plus indirect sunlight while sprouting the seeds. Pay attention to them daily to have a high suitability rate. Not all seed will germinate and not all plants will survive, THIS IS NORMAL. Older seeds tend to germinate less. Seeds poorly stored also germinate less. Harvest herbs before they flower, unless you are going to harvest the seeds. Have fun!

It depends on the herb. I managed to get nice healthy clumps of everything I planted. we just moved in so I had to start from scratch. I did try some indoors and they didn't do so well. I will post pictures the spring when everything comes back up
