My thoughts too L Mangum. As well, I have some old troughs with rusting around the edges and already naturally draining. I would love to repurpose those. How would I know if thats an issue?

Any concern with using plastics, styrofoam, or other non-natural fillers at the bottom? I am concerned about chemicals leaching into the soil even if using a soil screen to separate.

[…] 2. Fresh basil (and other herbs). We daily use fresh herbs in salads, dishes, on sandwiches or wraps. Life is better when herbs are involved! (Basil in the jar is for ambience, only. Normally we step outside and snip some from our herb trough.) […]

Hi – can you please tell me where you got the trough from? That’s the perfect thing that I’m looking for.

That is a totally brilliant idea. I wonder where I can get one here. We don’t have a Grange. I’ll have to Google. I usually container garden my herbs, except for the chives, sage and thymes are all in the ground. But I was just talking to Mr. G honey about some raised beds off the kitchen, but this would be grand. Very clever. Thank you for sharing!

That’s a wonderful idea! I have one bed in my raised bed garden for perennial herbs (although our winter was so harsh in the Midwest this year that a couple of them died!). I love the way it is all nice and green and lush right now, even though the rest of the garden beds were just planted.

I plant both regular basil and globe basil in the beds where I plant tomatoes that year.

I wanted to plant lemon balm this year but could not in my herb bed since it already has apple mint in half of it (I just pull up the roots from the mint when they grow to far into the other herbs space). Once I found out lemon balm is a mint, I knew it couldn’t be planted with another one (how did I miss that before I had to pull out my plant last year?). Anyway, I planted the new lemon balm next to the house, right in the area where the water hose spout is located… so far it works great.
