Place your pizza garden in full sun and water generously when the soil feels dry. Use diluted liquid fertilizer every couple of weeks. I use an organic liquid fish emulsion.

Herb Hints:

  • To keep your basil bushy, use it often or clip it back - the more you use the more you'll have.
  • If you have a sunny spot inside or a grow light, this could be a year 'round container garden.
  • If one of your plants dies or begins to look awful, just pull it or dig it out of your pot and replace it with another plant.
  • Cut back parsley and dill before it flowers.
  • Dill is great on seafood pizza.
  • Chives are also good on pizza and easy to grow.
  • Don't use too much fertilizer - it can effect the taste of the herbs.
