Grow Mediterranean herbs
If you're looking for the secret to growing healthy, happy potted Mediterranean and other herbs that like their potting mix to be on the alkaline side -- then get yourself a bag of Mediterranea Soil-less Potting Mix, exclusively available at GreenHearts The Garden Shop. Mediterranea's high-pH formulation makes it ideal for herbs like rosemary, thyme, Greek oregano, lavender, lemon balm and mint; most of which are shown surrounding the pack at left. These herbs were grown organically in the heat and humidity of Quezon City and that says a lot about how using Mediterranea can make a difference. Of course, another important thing people growing their Mediterranean herbs in the tropical Philippines should remember is to not over-water their plants. Water only when the potting mix is dry up to an inch beneath the surface. Pots should also be sheltered from the rain but given lots of sunlight and air circulation. It's also advisable to keep your Mediterranean herbs in clay (not plastic or ceramic) pots with drainage holes. Mediterranea is formulated to keep moisture retention minimal and the combination of proper watering, the right container with adequate drainage and lots of sunlight and ventilation will all work together towards helping you succeed in kitchen gardening with Mediterranean herbs. For those of you living too far away from GreenHearts, you can use Enrico amended with some agricultural lime (crushed limestone) instead.
