BackyardLush's Basil Care Instructions
Try for a seed spacing of at approx. 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.12 inches (0.3 cm) if planning to sow direct.
Basil normally tends to reach to a mature height of 45.0 cm [imperial: 1.46 feet] so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.
Your garden is in partial sun light: Basil enjoys a full sun position, so make adjustments where necessary.
Remember to water moderately.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (7b) is within the ideal range for Basil. The recommended range is between Zone 4 and 10.
Ensure your soil has a ph of between 6.0 and 7.5 as Basil is a acidic to alkaline soil loving plant.
Keep an eye out for these common Basil problems: Black Spot.
More information about Basil is available in the Folia gardener's wiki. All Basil Care Instructions have been kindly provided by our members.
