Organic Plant Care
I will never boast to have a green thumb, but I recently became the proud recipient of a basil plant, which brings me much joy and delicious omelet-making ingredients every morning. As the produce prices start to rise as the crops die out and farmers have to dip into previous commodity preserves to keep filling the supermarket shelves, I like to evade the supermarket glut in my own special way by having the basil plant. For just maintenance care, I can have a delicious herb free of charge ready at my disposal and always fresh, which is more than I can say for how much basil would cost me if I bought it every week (about $5 a week).
I only feed my Basil the best purified water and now I want to get into organic soil and potting techniques. Call me a basil purist, but I think every plant would enjoy a natural soil supplement.
