    Dear Brick Garden Box Owner:
    The question I pose to you is - are you growing oganically? If so, I do not recommend using Butumen to seal the inside of the brick. There are chemicals in the Butumen which will leach into the soil and absorbed by the root system. I suggest lining the interior with landscape cloth which will contain the soil and allow the water to drain. The plastic will breakdown within a year.

    Very easy. As a matter of fact, it is one of the easiest types of gardens to have. Once planted, herbs need very little care. Here is some more information on starting an herb garden:

    All herbs need direct light. If you do not have this from a window, you can use a fluorescent light to supplement.

    Many online garden retailers are available that specialize in these herbs. Doing a local search online may also provide you with nearby nurseries/plant specialists in your area that can point you in the right direction.

    Plants, like animals, have a lifespan. Dividing helps to reset the clock on that lifespan for plants. If the clumps in your herb garden are due to reseeding, dividing is really only necessary if the clumps become too big. But, if you have noticed that herb clumps have less vigor and are dying out in the center, dividing the clumps can help to revitalize them.
