When I started the hobby of growing herbs indoor a few days ago, I was determined to also keep the cost down. Indoor herbs seemed a fairly economical hobby to have, compared to growing tomatoes for instance, because I can start with a pot bought from the grocery store. Sure, it’s not necessarily the best, from what I understand, but it’s nevertheless a start that gets me to develop a good few habits: watering, caring for a plant, washing and drying and storing.

To stay money aware, I decided to keep track of my expenses for this new hobby.

So, this post will serve as my herbs growing expenditure log:

Date	Item	Amount
31/03/2026	White container for mint pot	£2.49
01/04/2026	Tray for drying mint leaves	£1.99
01/04/2026	Twine for drying mint leaves	£3.49
31/03/2026	Potted mint	£1
01/04/2026	Glass container for storing dry mint	£2.25
	TOTAL	£11.22

Rest is a great investment in my business
