Readers say:Â
"Gardening is one of my passions. I have found this book to be full of practical advice for starting an herb garden. Dried herbs simply don't compare to growing and having your own, fresh herbs available. Maintaining your own garden gives you such a feeling of tranquility. This book is full of practical advice and makes an emerging gardener feel as though they can tackle this project. I've always had problems keeping my herbs alive, watering too much or too little or having the wrong soil mix. Many different common herbs are addressed and information is given in a clear format as to the care and handling of them all.Â
I highly recommend this book to any gardener looking to start an herb garden!!!!".......Julie Armat.Â
"Having Herbs on hand and in easy reach all the time is great. The knowledge of knowing what each herb likes and dislikes (light, water, etc.) helps get every thing off to a good start. I will be going back to this book many times".......Frannie ViceÂ
"Fed up with buying dried herbs or paying a high price for fresh herbs? How much work is it to grow your own? Not much! This book will show you how!Â
What's the point of growing your own? The author lists 11 points and expounds on each one. Some points are:Â
Save money * Healthier * An opportunity to learn (I love this point! Keep those little gray cells growing!) * Never run out * Enhance the flavor of your cooking.Â
Guess what? Herbs don't need much fertilizer and in fact over feeding some can kill them! That works for me as I always forget to "feed" my plants. Once established they require very little maintenance.Â
Hints on how to choose the correct container, how much light, which ones to combine in companion planting etc are provided.Â
Basic tools are covered in Chapter 3. In Chapter 4 we learn which soil mix is best and there is even a soil recipe included.Â
Did you know that rosemary and oregano can tolerate a certain amount of neglect?Â
The chapter on the ten good herbs to plant indoors actually contains eleven and they are:Â
Basil * Chives * Cilantro * Dill * Fennel * Marjoram * Mint * Oregano * Parsley * Rosemary * SageÂ
I LOVE cooking with herbs but have to admit up to now, not having a very green thumb, have seldom attempted my own. Now's the time to change! Fresh herbs here we come!Â
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this well-written book"......Liz ur own miniature greenhouse at very little cost.
