Re: Ultra Easy Medicinial Herb Garden

In dry areas, or poor soil, lavender does remarkably well too, as does rosemary.

I would mention here that for gardeners in the UK a south facing garden is considered the best. East facing tends to catch some very cold winds in the morning, together with the sudden changeover from cold night to warm sun. A lot of plants, especially bay trees, can be very sensitive in an easterly position and not do at all well.
