The ideal location for your herb garden would be a spot that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day and has well-draining soil. Avoid areas that are prone to strong winds or excessive shade.
You will need a shovel, hand trowel, gardening gloves, watering can or hose, organic potting soil, and a selection of herb seeds or seedlings. Optional tools include a garden fork and a ruler for spacing the plants.
In most regions, the best time to plant an herb garden is in the spring after the last frost. However, some herbs can also be planted in the fall. Make sure to check the recommended planting times for the specific herbs you have chosen.
Water your herb garden regularly, making sure not to overwater. Fertilize with an organic herb-specific fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Remove any weeds or dead plant material to prevent pests and diseases. Prune and harvest herbs regularly to promote new growth.
Yes, you can plant different herbs together in the same garden as long as they have similar sunlight and watering needs. Some herbs, like mint and oregano, can be invasive and may be best planted in their own containers to prevent them from taking over the garden.
