Experience I have been growing herbs organically for 27 years. I have also written and self-published, loose leaf binder, "Herbmans Journal". 2008 is my last year at Smile Herb Shop. I plan to grow herbs in my small back yard and sell at David's Natural Store in Columbia, Md. on saturdays. I also will return to the Baltimore Herb Festival in May 2009(memorial day weekend).I used the word organically grown, but the state came into the picture and stated that I could not use the word unless I become certified & paid a $300.00 fee. I decided to add to my name (99% chemical-free) since nothing on this planet is 100%, except Jesus Christ, taxes & death. My customers were satisfied with this instead of paying a large fee and raising my prices,with no guarantee that it is organic except for a label.Their belief was in my word.
Question I have a kitchen bay in a pot in the garden, it is approximately 2 foot tall but it doesn't look very healthy at the moment, I repotted it earlier in the year, the pot is 18" diameter, its in the sun most days, not water logged but its leaves are going brown around the edges and it just doesn't look well, is there anything I can do to help it. I know I need to bring it into the unheated conservatory for winter protection but apart from that I know very little about caring for it. Any advice on the subject would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Answer Alison:
I can only say that it likes to be root bounded a little. When re-potting the roots must be slightly separated and moved to the next size pot. Add little bone meal or an organic fertilizer like liquid fish/seaweed mix. The other ways are good that you are doing. Feed every 3 weeks. Go to web site called"gardens alive.com" They carry a lot of organic products and may be able to help you more.
