Thyme After Thyme Herbs & Perennials 2011 Retail Catalog 11 Herbs are used to season our food, treat our ills, and scent and decorate our homes. The growing popularity of herb gardening is due not only to their many and varied uses, but also to the fact that herbs are easy to grow and maintain. We advocate organic methods for growing herbs to produce lush foliage with high oil content, resistant to pests and diseases. DRAINAGE...Choose a location that is very well drained. After a heavy rain, water should not be standing. Many times gardeners will raise the soil level adding top soil,compost. and gravel sand for percolation. SUNLIGHT...In the Southeast a recommendation of “sun” or “full sun” may only mean 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Generally, herbs would prefer morning sun and afternoon shade, although many scenarios will work. FEEDING...Add generous amounts of a high quality compost when planting herbs. Side dress monthly during the growing season with fish emulsion and seaweed. MULCHING...Mulch will protect roots from the heat in the summer, cold in the winter, and will increase water and nutrient retention. Use cypress mulch and straw, avoiding pine products which are somewhat acidic. Acanthus mollis..........................................................
