General Rules for Growing Herbs

• Need good air circulation, but no direct wind. Build or plant near a wind break wall.
• Well drained soil to avoid root rot. Soil has to be soft, with no clay in it. Water will not drain well from hard soil. (Preferably plant in raised beds.)
• Soil pH neutral (6.5-7.0).
• Need 6 hours of morning sunlight with partial shade in the hot summer afternoons.
• Need only a little fertilizer, preferably slow-releasing.
• Need water several times a week when first planted, less once established. (Approximately 1 inch per week).
• Herbs in containers will need to be “overwintered” or brought indoors during freezing temperatures. Will need to be put out in the sun as much as temperatures permit. Herbs planted outside can be covered with a blanket or a box on very cold nights.
• Don’t grow well indoors for periods over 8 weeks unless artificial sunlight is given.
• Mulching is a good idea in a herb garden. It helps protect the herbs from extreme temperatures, both high and low. Make sure mulch is not thick around the base of the plant, as this will hinder drainage and promote diseases. Putting a ring of sand around the base of the plant will allow proper drainage and discourage diseases.
