So i believe ive watched like 5 basil video from you yet and ive always found the information very helpful but in this video you covered pretty much any question i could think of, truly amazing! Since i am growing many spices on my balcony i would love to see videos like this about spices like rosemary, Oregano, Thyme, parsley. The only question i could think of that hasnt been covered in this video is what can you plant next to basil and why, i've read online that planting basil next to rosemary can improve the basil growth even though rosemary lives multiple years and basil only one. My Basil has sadly died to fusarium wilt, so currently im growing new cuttings in water hopefully it will work out. Thanks for your work the videos really are awesome!

I kept a Basil about 3 years in an outdoor 18 inch deep container south east facing 3 feet from the house without protection in US Zone 5 with -10/20 deg F winters it got very woody and finally died from neglect , dehydration I think. So I'm going to bring some of my 1st year plants indoors and let them go semi dormant around 60 degrees F and eventually plant them in ground when I think they are rugged enough if they survive. I have a couple dozen Basils going and I'll probably plant some in ground in late summer this year. Just learning and experimenting. I want sustainable perennial food production and herbs spread about for insect repellent and diversity

Geez dude wtf!? Those final results are crazy. I’ve tried separating them 2 times and both times they got shocked to death from the process so I’m just doing this next time!🤷♂️

Thanks for this, I live in a subtropical climate so it should thrive!

Thank you very much for the super thanks, yes basil should grow very well for you in your climate, just keep cutting off the flowers when they appear as high temperatures can cause flowering to occur sooner.

Potassium probably has the initial K in the chemical system since P was taken by phosporus before that and in some countries potassium is called kalium.

I looked it up and it seems to take the K from Kalium, I suppose its similar to how Lead takes its Pb from its Latin name of plumbum.

How many basil of these do you recommend for a pail/19L bucket for maximum yield? What’s the yield you’ve had and most productive variety you recommend?

I'm sorry I'm new to planting do I put just compost soil in the pot or should I mix it with something else ?

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm planning on getting a setup for some basil plants and I'm curious about something. Have you ever weighed your basil leaves before cooking? I'm just curious how much an average leaf from a plant with leaves that big would weigh since I usually do pesto by weight
@Gardeningat58N7 ай бұрын
No I've never weighed the leaves of my basil plant I imagine they are about four to five times heavier than some basil leaves as they are much bigger than the leaves from a young plant from the store.

Do you need dechlorinated water? Our tap water is fairly chlorinated
@Gardeningat58N6 ай бұрын
Not usually, although if your chlorine levels are very high then it could burn the roots so use rain water or let your water sit out for a while for the chlorine to degas.

Hello!!! I had a quick question: how often/ how much should I harvest? Does it have to be a certain size? Thank you so much for this great info!!!
@Gardeningat58N10 ай бұрын
It depends on how quickly your plant grows and how much you need to harvest. If you are just using two or three leaves at a time you could harvest it daily from a large plant. However if you are making pesto and harvesting half the plant at a time you may need to wait a few weeks in between harvests. If you have a healthy plant you can remove up to two thirds at a time, but you will have to give it plenty of time afterwards to recover.
