Bonsai Plants and Gardens

Now that the good weather has finally crept in on us, we can begin working on our herb gardening. Maybe it is simply maintenance of existing plants or possibly you are excitede about some new herbs that you are anxious to start growing this year. Immense satisfaction is gained by growing our own herbs and harvesting the fresh fruits of our labor to enhance our meals. For your herb garden to thrive the soil should not be very wet. Herbs do not grow in wet soil. To make your herb plot well drained, dig out about 15 to 18 inches depth of soil. To the bottom of the hole add some crushed stone or other material that is similar to the stones.
A compost and sand mixture added to the soil will lighten the soil’s texture making it easier for the water to seep through the soil and drain away. Humus from your compost pile will enrich the nutrients within the soil and restore the soil’s Ph level. Then refill the hole higher than it was originally.  The herb seeds must not be covered with a thick coating of soil. The soil needs to be light and well drained. This type of soil texture will ensure that your herb gardening gets off to good start.
