Another thing to remember is that you have to plant the
tall ones at the back and the shorter ones in front.
Also, provide your plants with enough space to grow.
Proper position shall help you in this area.
If you would rather keep herbs out of your garden (and
some are quite invasive) you could have herb pots. These
are large containers with three or more outlets for the
herbs. Fill the pot up to the first outlet and plant it
before continuing on with the filling and planting
process. Usually, the herb that requires the most water
is planted in the bottom hole, while the variety that
requires the least, goes in the highest hole.
Some Design Ideas
You can consider having a square herb bed. You can have
your square bed divided into four by two paths crossing
at mid point measuring 3 feet. You can border it with
stone or brick. A wooden ladder may also do the trick.
You can lay it down on your garden and plant your herbs
between its rungs. You can also choose to have a wagon
wheel bed. Planting here is like planting with the
wooden ladders. Plant your herbs in between the wagon
wheel's wedges.
Get Your Plants Growing
Of course, different plants have different needs, but
many of them require alkaline soil. This is the reason
why you have to determine the herbs you want to plant in
the planning stage. This can more or less help you find
out how you should care for your plants. If you
germinate your herbs from seeds, remember to follow the
directions on the packet for soil, watering and
temperature.
Herbs are some of the easiest plants to grow. You just
have to provide them with an effective drainage,
sunlight, enough humidity or moisture and fertile soil.
Even with just minimally meeting these requirements they
will be bound produce a good harvest.
