Indoor Garden

[crazybob]

hello all,
I'm a new member, and new to gardening in general. I have a small patio garden atm, with parsley, chives, and basil. I have been growing it throughout the summer primarily for my bearded dragon.

being as the winter is coming (I'm from buffalo) I would like to try to grow some herbs/veggies indoors so I can continue to get cheap salads to my pet as well as me lol.

I wanted to know what I need to do to grow healthy plants indoors. can I literally bring them inside and set up a light for it? I was told that soil can create gnats, so I should try to use a different medium to grow in.

thanks for any help you can give me,
crazybob


ps. I have a planted 75g aquarium, so I have a general kowledge of lighting and nutrients.

pps. sorry for the long post lol
