I would grow them indoors on a window sill. Truly the thought of animal pee has never occurred to me, I wash all food I grow anyway, including fruit from the trees.
My window sills get the afternoon sun. Would that be a problem for chives?
When I had westward facing windows I placed a a table about a metre from the window and put my plants on that.
Ok. I’ll start with chives then. One last question if you may, what would be the minimum amount of sunlight it would take to grow chives?
