Sorry, but every time I pick up a newspaper, I read something concerning a law suit, because a Muslim wanted to wear some article of clothing that would compromise their safety, or the safety of others. Look, I get that some people are very orthodox about their religion, but not when it becomes a legal rowe, at the expense of state dollars needed to be allocated for much more important things.
The most important thing to have when starting an indoor herb garden is lots of light. You will need a sunny window because most herbs love the sun and need all the light they can get. You can keep each herb in their own pot or you can pot several herbs together which creates a nice full potted plant look. Some popular herbs are basil, parsley, oregano, and Thyme. However, there are many herbs to choose from based on you own personal preferences. Good Luck
Yes, that would be pretty funny. Let's hope the equipment managers have a sense of humor and might try it.
