Hanging Basket Herbs
If you donÂ’t have a lot of space to garden in, or just want something different, try a hanging basket herb garden. It will be beautiful, fragrant and fun to create.
First, pick a hanging basket for your plants. The wire baskets are nice because you can plant all around the sides, not just in the top. Next, choose your plants- trailing herbs like Prostrate Rosemary, Mints and Thyme work well in hanging baskets. Choose a light soil mix so your basket wonÂ’t be too heavy. If youÂ’re using a wire basket, you will also need a peat or cocoa fiber liner. After your herbs are planted, water your basket well and find a good location for it to hang. Be sure to check the light requirements for your herbs and place the basket accordingly. Also hang your basket at a height that is convenient for watering. You donÂ’t want to have to be climbing up and down to give your herbs a drink. Enjoy your hanging garden!
