Can I use these for planting herbs indoors?

I have never planted herbs, but I would guess since these buckets are quite sturdy for their size, they would work for planting. There is no hole in them to drain water, though.

The bottoms are solid so there would be no way for water to drain out, not sure if they would rust either....

I might put another container inside these if you are primarily going for the look, but they really are pretty small. A round 2" pot would be okay, but really for your herbs to get big enough to cut, you'd definitely need a larger container. I have not tested these to see if they are water tight.

I would not recommend for that use; buckets are not really made for prolonged water contact

Maybe they would be kind of small though you could properly start them in the buckets but you would have to transplant then they start to get medium size.

Absolutely. They would be fine for most "ground" spices, just a bit too small for larger herbs like Thyme or Basil.

Hello Denise, Your question is very good one, especially those that do not know how to work with plants. Yes this can be used indoors as long as you have a water catcher, you don't want those bottom plants to drown. As for my self I do use this inside and outside.Good planting,Sue

You can use it indoors....but be sure to put the plug in on the inside of the planter. You wouldn't want any water dripping on your inside floors.

There are no directions, so I think they can just be planted. I started them indoors because I was in too big of a hurry for winter to end!

The answers provided are correct. They don't work tho. My herbs died even faster.

I used mine inside the house because of the weather vs. electronics. No they are for inside. If you weather proof them like I did and put them inside a water tight PVC tube with PVC cap on the end they will be okay.

No, you can't. They are not to be used indoors. I double checked on the box, and it does say that.

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 used them with good results on my indoor basil. Don't see why it would not work on other herbs as well. Happy gardening!

It has been a year since I used them. I do not think they would last for 3 weeks. A week worked just fine for me. My indoor plants were large, and in large pots. If your plants are smaller and the pots are smaller, it may work, especially during the cooler weather.

Yes you can but they are not very good I have 2 of them in my grow tent and don't work berry well

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

Yes, you can. I bought them for a large 1 gallon indoor potted basil plant and it flourished with a small reused Jaeger bottle.

If they are larger dry herbs then yes if not you will need to get a herb chopper or grinder.

Plant them and find out. I would think they would do fine unless you had a lot of moisture in the bag in the refrigerator. Check them for any mold before planting.

Absolutely, they are move of an indoor plant anyway, however you can speed up its growth by transplanting it outside during the warmer months. I hope this helps :)
