That is what I used it for, worked pretty well and kept things happy through winter. Thanks for reminding me to bring it back out!

I use mine for Orchids and African Violets--works great. I would think it would work for herbs.

It's great while it's working. The bulbs replacements are hard to find. I got one for my Mother's violet plant. It only worked for 1.5 years. :( Rather expensive for not a very long shelf life. Just being honest.......

I have not used it on basil yet. But I think it will be ok. I've used on parsley, cilantro,thyme. I really like this, easy to use & saves time.Now rosemary easy on the small branches but not the thick ones. Hope this helps.

Have not tried it for that yet...I will make a note and try it this week, and let you know. Kathy did you know you can get rosemary in powder form on Amazon...I love it...Just in case you are interested. I have both Fennel Seed and Rosemary leaves in my larder. Will try it this week.

I only use it for medicinal purposes... But, their website gives you recipes to make foods using Basel, oregano, mint oils, etc.. I've only used it a handful of times but.. so far..so good... An investment for sure!!

I don't think so. It really doesn't work well for any of the herbs I have tried. ie sage thyme, rosemary etc.

Sounds like a good idea but, I have not. I used the herb tool at Thanksgiving and was very careful!

It isn't really minty. I used it for my dog in renal failure. It was a good product for that.

I have only used it for grinding dry spices/herbs (and it works very well for this). Cumin seeds, whole dried chiles, sugar into powdered sugar, peppercorns. It's done everything I have needed. I have not ground fresh herbs or garlic and would personally not do so unless someone else tried it with their first. ;)

I don't notice the rosemary too much, mostly mint. I will say the the smell is strong and it works awesome.

This should work fine. You will just need to adjust the shelves once the herbs get more mature. Keep the cover on during cold sunny days to keep the warmth in. Good luck.

Yes...I have Linux Lite on it now. Have used Mint..Peppermint...and PClinuxOS also. All work fine.

Yes. I also found that a small drop of peppermint oil is pretty effective too :)

It should work. Apparently, all rodents have a problem with essential oil of mint, and that is the key ingredient.

I've never done it but I do not think it would do any harm, the thought of cinnamon in there is refreshing, will try it and give you an update. Stay tuned.......

Yes but not bad and if it bothers you, mix it with peppermint essential oil or wintergreen or lavender oil...Hope it helps !

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