Cheesecloth is the traditional material for the "pouch", but the suggestions of a tea ball (tea infuser) or a small muslin sack are fine, too. I'll use a bouquet garni for sauces, stews, and soups. The dry spices (like cardamom or cinnamon, or even whole peppercorns) can flavor the food, but since they're not ground up, they don't overpower the food. I always have paper "basket" type coffee filters in the house, and I'll use those (instead of cuttin' up my cheesecloth). Just tie it shut with a piece of string, and leave the string long enough to reach over the edge of your cooking pot (you can even tie the other end of the string to the pot handle, do keep it from falling back in). When the cooking is done, it's easy to pull the bouquet garni out of the pot. And if you're worried about the coffee filter tearing, just layer two of them together.

Go down to your local habidashery shop and ask for some muslin cloth. Put your herbs in and tie it up tight with strong cotton or string. Its in the bag. Yes of course there is.
