Most herbs can grow nicely in small pots inside too.. But some ideas for growth.. make sure that the soil around them isn't too tightly packed, it allows more nutrients to the roots to make sure the earth is penetrable. I'd suggest getting some miracle gro.. that stuff is amazing.. but small amounts, and never water with it in the daytime, the sun will burn your herbs.. Evenings or very early morning waterings. Depending on the herb, some of them like more sandy, dry conditions, make sure you are planting herbs for optimal growing conditions.
If you don't want to use miracle grow, brew up some plain tea with the leaves etc all (break open the tea bag) and then let it steep until the water is room temperature.. you can then feed the plants with the tea (leaves and all).
