PPLEWOOD A HaltonSeareh.cni Plant garden for senses Herbs provide the simplest of pleasures. Plucking a piece from a plant as you walk by releases a pungent waft of scent. Fresh leaves add a special burst of flavour to food which tastes even better because the herbs came from your own garden or window box. Garden centres are stocking a wider variety of herbs and seeds than ever before, so starting your own herb garden is a snap. There are herbs that will do well in whatever space you have - sunny and dry, moist and shady, cool or warm loca tions, and most herbs will grow well in containers if you're gardening on a balcony or patio. Those annuals that do well in light shade and moist soil include: bergamot, sweet woodruff, angelica, mint and pars ley' . Most other herbs need at least six hours of sunlight a day to grow well. If you have a sunny window, balcony or deck, you can grow herbs in almost any type of container provided it has drainage holes. When growing plants in containers, use a potting mix rather than garden soil because it has been designed to hold water better and won't compact into a hard lump; second, pots and hanging baskets need to be checked every other day to see if more moisture is required and finally, because containers receive a lot of water, you should fertilize every two weeks to replace the nutrients that are constantly being washed away. tU C 'S Q uality FIR E W O O D * TO P S O IL Econo Mulch Sheep Manure Sand Screened Topsoil ALL NATURAL ·BAGGED OR BULK TOP QUALITY · PICK-UP OR DELIVERY · Triple Mix · · Black Loam (Peat) * · Cattle Manure (No Bedding)* Compost/Manure Mix * iness who's reputation has built on quality and service" TEACH YOUR KIDS HOW TO BE SAFE!
