COUNTERTOP HERB SYSTEM
Set Up · Feed · Harvest · Repeat
8 PAGES · PRINTABLE GUIDE
Herbs from the grocery store go slimy in the crisper before the second recipe ever needs them.
The Countertop Herb System replaces that cycle with a Kratky-method hydroponic setup: no soil, no pump, no equipment learning curve. It is built for a kitchen counter, not a garden.
WHAT'S INSIDE — 8 pages
- Why Kratky Hydroponics — the no-soil, no-pump method, explained in plain terms
- Best Beginner Herbs, Ranked — which herbs actually take to this method first
- Light Requirements Reference — what each herb needs, and how to fake it without a grow light
- Equipment List — exactly what to buy, nothing you don't need
- Step-by-Step Setup — from an empty jar to a working system
- Troubleshooting Guide — yellow leaves, stalled growth, and what each one means
- Harvesting Technique — the cut that keeps a plant producing instead of ending it
- Weekly Maintenance Schedule — the five-minute pass that keeps the system running
WHY IT REPEATS
Page 8, the Weekly Maintenance Schedule, is the difference between a system and a jar of dead basil. Kratky hydroponics is low-effort, not no-effort. The water and nutrient level need checking on a rhythm, and that five-minute weekly pass is what this guide builds in.
HOW IT WORKS
Plan — pick your herbs and gather the equipment
Use — follow the step-by-step setup
Review — check growth against the troubleshooting guide
Repeat — run the weekly maintenance pass and harvest on rotation

What customers say
Finally, a tracker that isn’t just endless empty lines expecting you to figure out the system yourself. These give you a clear guide from step one.
David K.Honestly, my herbs were dying on every windowsill until I finally mapped out the light and got on a regular watering routine. These planners made tracking this so much easier.
Sarah M.Super clean design and actually useful.
