When sailing we like to have fresh herbs readily available for cooking, in particular Basil and Coriander. In the past we have just had pots of herbs in and arround the cockpit. The problem is they get in the way and the herbs suffer from being knocked about and from wind and cold.
This year we are trying our hanging greenhouses. These are plastic lemonade bottles with the bottoms cut off. Herb pots from most supermarkets push up into the bottle. A string underneath the pot holds it in place and the bottle can be hung up. Plants can be watered from the top or left to soak. Pots can easily be removed to "harvest".
