Even beginners can grow excellent herbs which are simple to take care of. Give them a bit of sun, well-draining soil and a touch of compost or fertilizer and you have a healthy herb garden prepared right outside your door.
You may also grow herbs without a garden. Many of them will grow happily in a pot although nearly all them prefer to be in the earth if you've got the space. The huge key to successful herb gardening is location. I don't mean that you've got to live in the best part of town - you just need to plant the herbs in the perfect place in the garden.
You could even put your herbs someplace they'll get dappled light through the leaves of a tree. Rosemary, Mint, Sage, Oregano, Marjoram, Basil, Tarragon, Basil and Savory will grow a few feet for each plant. Chives, Cilantro, Parsley and Dill will grow just one foot each. Careful soil preparation is important for growing healthy herbs. Dig over the ground with a garden tool which enables the water to drain through in addition to creating space for the roots to reach down deep into the ground. If you don't do this correctly your plants may not thrive. You're nearly ready to plant your herbs. Be sure you get the strongest, healthiest herb plants at the nursery and don't let the ground to dry out.
As they grow some plants grow new leaves out from their center (Parsley does this) in which case it might be essential to remove old, dead branches to permit new development from the plant. Herb gardening is actually quite simple and incredibly rewarding. From the garden to the kitchen in only a few snips – try it for a lovely garden and tasty food.
