Selecting the Right Herbs
When selecting the right herbs for your herb garden in Australia, it’s important to consider the climate and soil of your specific area. You’ll want to choose herbs that are well-suited to your area and can thrive in the environment.
Start by researching which herbs are best for your location and make sure you read up on their specific needs for sun, water, and soil. It’s also a good idea to talk to local gardening enthusiasts who have experience with similar climates. They can provide invaluable insight and tips to ensure success with your herb garden.
Water
Water is an essential ingredient for a thriving herb garden in Australia. Make sure you give your herbs enough water to ensure they are healthy and productive. The amount of water they need will depend on the type of herbs you are growing and the climate where you live.
The best way to water your herbs is to do it in the early morning or late evening when the air is cooler.
This will help prevent the water from evaporating too quickly in the hot sun. Water deeply rather than lightly as this encourages the roots to grow deeper into the soil. Be careful not to over-water as this can cause root rot. If the soil is left too wet, it can disrupt the oxygen exchange in the plant which can lead to poor root growth.
