Why first gardens fail

Most container herbs die for the same three reasons

Light

The wrong plant in the wrong spot

Basil needs a lot of direct sun. Mint and parsley can handle less. The kit shows you how to match plants to the light you actually have.

Drainage

A pot that can't drain

Roots sitting in trapped water rot. You'll learn the pot, hole and potting-mix basics that keep roots healthy.

Water

Watering by the calendar

Plants drink by the weather, not by the day of the week. A two-second soil check tells you when it's time.

Inside Chapter 1

Start by counting your hours of direct sun

One day, three checks: 9 AM, noon and 3 PM. Your total tells you exactly what will grow in your spot.

6+ hours

Full sun

Basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary, cherry tomatoes, peppers

3 to 5 hours

Part sun

Parsley, mint, chives, cilantro, leaf lettuce, salad greens

Under 3 hours

Shade

Hard for edibles. Try mint or parsley, or grow indoors under a light

Plant-care guidance checked against U.S. university cooperative extension publications.
