How to Grow a Herb Garden
How to grow beautiful culinary herbs
You don’t have to be a chef or have the green thumb to grow a herb garden. Culinary herbs are extremely easy to grow. Once started, they add flavor, texture and color almost any garden or space. Harvest your herbs to make every culinary, teas, vinegars and delicious recipes.
Herbs does not require much space to grow. You can plant them in beds in a garden or you can grow in a small container. Combine herbs can create a beautiful effect. Your bed or container is your canvas – and what you plant can be a beautiful masterpiece.
Lots of sun
Herbs much love sunlight. When you choose a location for your herbs, look for an outdoor area or a window that gets 5-7 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Well-drained soil
If you plant your herbs in containers or garden, start by testing your soil for nutrients and pH. It may be necessary to adjust your soil pH to near neutral pH of 6-7 as herbs grow best in. You’ll also to add a layer of organic compost and minerals in the soil before planting.
Adequate water
Herbs like well-drained soil, but well-drained soils should be watered more frequently. Do not just water on a whim. Stick your finger down into your soil about 1 “to 1-1/2″. It is not necessary water, unless your soil is almost dry to the touch.
Three rules of thumb for fertilizing your herbs
The fertilizer is often referred to as “plant food.” The most important thing to remember when feeding your herbs – Use products that are organic. Remember, you are going to take much of what you grow. If you do not want to use chemicals, do not use your herbs.
Second Rule of thumb – feed your plants a balanced diet.
Fertilizer or title = “plant food”> “plant food” gives your herbs with key elements they need to grow and flourish – Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Your plants will also require minor elements called micronutrients, which contain minor elements required by your plants to grow.
Finally.
Feeding your plants by their leaves (foliar feeding). Foliar feeding is 100-500% more effective than root nutrition and offers faster results. Look for organic fertilizers and foliar trace elements. Spray all the leaves of your plants every 1-4 weeks.
Harvesting and storage
Once your herbs are established, it is important to reduce them on a regular basis. Harvest never more than 1 / 3 of each individual herb. The best time to harvest your herbs is in the morning when the oils are always available in their leaves. Harvest your herbs before they flower. This will prevent them from putting away seeds and encourage more vigorous green growth.
You can use your herbs immediately, refrigerate or put in a freezer bag in plastic and freeze up to 6 months.
Whatever you do, like growing your kitchen herbs.
You’ll feel like a gourmet, every time you walk in your garden to cut some grass for your productions culinary. Even if you do not cook much, cut some fresh mint your herb garden to transform a simple glass of iced tea to treat more delicious. Or decorate a plate of fruit, vegetables and salads with your fresh herbs. Their use is as simple as increasing them.
