For indoor pots, I've always just used potting soil, except for some of the arid ones where I've mixed in some bonsai soil for drainage. The herbs will deplete the soil just fine, since there's no means of replenishment.

lol never thought of that one....how to get poor soil....I happen to have an area that is pretty pitiful herbs are going in there.....

Just do not fertilize them, add some sand to the mix. I have never grown them inside , in pot , but that is how I do it in the garden. Sage, thyme, rosemay like poor well drained, alkaline(sweet) soil.

If you pay the postage, T-bird, I'll send you as much sandy, alkaline soil as you can use!
