Who doesn\u2019t love cooking with fresh herbs? I love cooking with fresh ingredients. Using fresh cut culinary herbs and edible flowers is a really special thing. All growers know that from the time the plant is harvested you start losing flavor and nutrients. It\u2019s important to get fresh-cut herbs if you want the most amazing flavor for you and your family.
\nPermaculture is such a heartwarming way to grow. You work with nature and then nature helps sustain you. We start at the soil and end eating these great herbs.<\/p>\n
I start with these 6 bullet points that keep you on the right track.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Placement-\u00a0Permaculture makes things easy and efficient when it\u2019s in an herb garden near the kitchen. The easier it is to collect the herbs, the more often you\u2019ll use them. If you have a kitchen window, put the herb garden there. If you don\u2019t have a kitchen window, as long as it\u2019s easily accessible while you\u2019re cooking, you\u2019ll likely use the fresh produce.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Soil-\u00a0Soil is the lifeline that connects your food to you. Love your soil and it will love you back. You want to have the best mulch you can find. If you don\u2019t have good fluffy soil, there are a few things you can do. My first suggestion is a mini h\u00fcgelkultur. Simply mark out the area you will need for the plants you want to grow. Dig out a 2-3-foot-deep trench, and fill it with tree limbs and sections of cut up logs. Fill the hole back in with the soil, cover with thick mulch, and then plant your herbs. It\u2019s that simple. By the end of summer you will have a jungle of herbs.<\/p>\n
