Growing Herbs

As Jamie Oliver loves to share, having fresh herbs can transform your every nightly meal into a masterpiece. Basil is a leafy and fragrant herb that thrives on lots of sunlight and greatly enhances pizza, salads and spaghetti bolognese. All fresh herbs can perk up any meal and save you money. The nutritional benefits are great for your health and growing your own means you have the herb you need at your fingertips regardless of the time. Reconnect with the cosmic process today and experience the warmth of the Universe. 

Pot, Window Boxes Design

Indoors is often best for herbs. With the right care and attention the herbs will flourish. Consider pots, window boxes and grow bags. Keep it near the kitchen.

Irrigation

The herbs will drown if water dampens the soil too much.  Many pots and window boxes come with reservoirs at the bottom. Terracotta pots are heavy and porous making them great. 

Indoors Setup

Combine pots and window boxes stylishly with your kitchen setup. Give them space to breathe and grow out. They will soon wilt if they are overcrowded. 

Herb Selection

Rosemary, Basil and Oregano can easily outgrow your pots if not pruned and used regularly. See which herbs best suit your meals and environment.

Low-Maintenance Design

Create some depth to the soil, approximately 1 metre is very good.   Allocate some space for the plants to grow and  consider colours and ripening stages. White, black, Green and yellow variety plants can be less desirable to birds than red or blue ones. Speak to your local botanist about native plants and find out any tips or tricks. 

Low Water Usage

The setup of solid drainage can have significant long-term benefits. The soil must provide plant sustenance without drowning it. An irrigation system setup early around the root system can be very good. Look at weather patterns for your suburb and determine what sort of rainfall you often receive. If watering late in the evening, less water will be lost to evaporation. 

About Garden Design

Your options are wide and vast. Perhaps you want bright and complementing colours between tiles and plants? You could set up different seasonal vegetation together so there is year-round supply of vegetables or colour on display. Decide on shape, size and volume of your garden structure and see if you can integrate various ornaments. Small ponds and waterfalls always work.  

From which direction does the sun rise and fall and can you determine the most consistent direction of the wind?

Knowing which way the breeze generally flows will allow you to plant the beautifully scented jasmine, roses and lavender style plants in a position you can take full aromatic advantage.
