A Wee Tip

Keep you plastic milk bottle tops and pop them in a pot holder under your pot. That way your plant won't sit in water. I find this great with basil. I can't grow it outside but using this method it keeps on going. The wee roots come through the pot and seem to like to dibble in a wee bit of water in the bottom. Compost stays drained and the plant gets what it needs.

 

This could help with my basil.
I never seem to get it right and it curls up on me and dies very easily.
Thanks Granny
