I would like to grow herbs in my appartment, but I don't get any sunlight in here, only a couple of hours a day...
What can I grow without the sun?
And is there any cheap ways to grow them I should know about? :D

Mett; choose an herb from the nursery. Pot it up in a larger pot and see how it does in the sunniest spot you can find. Some will do well some will not.
Oregano is usually a low light survivor though it would rather have bright light. (I am only thinking of kitchen herbs here). Sometimes chives and thyme do ok. Mints are natural shade choices.

What does herb from 'the nursery' mean..? What's a nursery other than a place for kids...? Sorry, but some words I just don't get :o
Thanks though, for the other advices :-)

Sorry. A nursery is a place for babies, in the case of the plant kingdom it is where young plants are started and raised for sale. The herbs from nurserys are sold in 2" to 4" ("=inch) pots.
