>>Narrator: Today we are going to show you a few easy steps
to help you set up a delicious and fragrant herb garden.
Here are the materials to gather before you get started.
Various herbs of your choice,
Miracle-Gro Garden Soil for Flowers and Vegetables,
Miracle-Gro Watering Can Singles,
a trowel or shovel,
and finally a watering can or hose.
It’s important to choose the right herbs so let’s examine the options.
If your garden is in a sunny spot you should consider herbs such as basil,
chives,
cilantro,
dill,
oregano,
parsley,
and rosemary.
If this area only receives partial sun,
some better options include
bee balm,
lemon balm,
catnip,
and mint.
Now it’s time to prepare your soil.
Good soil will help your herbs get established
so mix in some nutrient rich organic material,
such as Miracle-Gro Gardening Soil for Flowers and Vegetables.
You are now ready to plant.
You should plant early in the morning
to avoid shocking your herbs.
Refer to the instructions on your herbs
to learn how far apart they need to be spaced
Then dig a hole about twice as big as the root ball,
place the plant in the hole
and backfill.
It’s that easy!
Don’t forget to water your new herbs.
For best results
feed them with Miracle-Gro Watering Can Singles.
Finally, you will want to harvest your herbs.
For maximum flavor
pick your herbs in the early morning and before they bloom.
Take less than a third of the plant at one time to allow it to thrive
Now you are ready to enhance any meal with fresh herbs from your garden
Enjoy!
