Basil is a plant that I often get asked how to grow successfully.

sunny location, all you need to do is dig a little hole, around 3cm deep, and plant each seedling. If you’re planting outside, it always helps to give the seedlings a good kick start by adding a general fertiliser to the soil surrounding the seedlings. And, if you’re planting in a pot, use a good all-round potting mix.

It seems that some gardeners have no trouble keeping a plentiful supply of basil growing and others struggle to produce a few leaves for the top of a pizza.

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION AND HONEST ADVICE

Because basil likes to be warm it doesn’t like to get too wet. So don’t go overwatering it. I’m a bit lazy with watering my basil. I simply wait until it starts to droop then give it a good drink and it bounces right back. In around four to six weeks you’ll know if you’ve mastered the art of growing basil. Then pick off the leaves and stems as you require them. Picking it will also ensure it keeps producing and if you spot any flower buds, cut them off before they go to seed.
