Hi  
I am growing some herbs for the first time, mint, basil and parsley. Does anyone have recommendations for fertilizer?

I’m using Dr. Earth’s All Purpose. It seems to be working.

I personally like to pot my plants in a mix of worm castings and well draining soil mix

What I use for my Basil is “Miracle Gro Potting Mix”

Basil is a pain! Keep water off the leaves.

Mint is very easy. It’s taken a good chunk of our yard over and I barely feed it. Just water enough it will be fine.

Any 20-20-20 fertilizer will work on it. NEEM works great as well.
