Herb Garden Growing Tips
September 1st, 2009 by Myarticle

Although the French style of growing an herb garden, is in long rows of built troughs with every imaginable herb possible to be used in their own kitchens. Creating the herb garden of you choice is not that difficult to do on your own either from your own home. If you do have some space you could plant your herb garden in tiers, making more ground space available to work from, and if you have a large plot, you too could smaller troughs to put your own herbs in.

Amount Of Space Makes A Huge Difference In Herb Garden

If you are in a tiny space with no land to plant any herbs or plants in you could create your own little indoor herb garden on your windowsill. Since every herb garden has to have the basics of parsley in it, it should be planted separately to the others if you have a sprinkler system going over it. Parsley just as lavender is just some of those plants that actually don’t want water all over it; just the soil needs to stay moist.

There are so many little tricks that need to be learnt when you do create your own little herb garden, with some plants needing to be picked, twisted, some ripped and others snipped, depending on what they are, over time you will see why this is so. If you do notice what you have truly planted in the garden, the fruits of the herbs that you use will be different, and this is why they need to be handled differently. If you have a shrub such as rosemary in your herb garden, you would have to realise that when you trim the shrub from the base upward, it would grow taller faster, and from the trimmings make your own dried rosemary.

Critters And Insecticides For Herb Gardens

Keeping critters out of your herb garden can be quite a mission at times, and it is also important to know what products in your home can be used to keep them at bay. For snails in your herb garden, sprinkle some kitchen salt lightly over them. For aphids on your plants make a light mixture of dishwashing liquid and water and spray them off the plants.

However now and then you may have to get something stronger from the nursery if you cannot source a concoction over the Internet to get rid of some pests in your garden, just make sure if you have used these products to wash the herbs off properly before using them in your home.
