Soil and Aspect
The majority of herbs flourish in any garden soil and need no manure. There are many gardens with damp,
shady spots where herbs such as Cicely, the Mints, Angelica, will do well. But even these are as tolerant
as Forget-me~nots and will flourish even in sandy soil.
Herbs of Mediterranean (South European) origin, however, such as Lavender, are most aromatic in full
sun and on thin, poor soil, particularly chalk.
In many gardens, too, there are steep banks, usually left waste, frequently adjoining tennis courts, bowling
greens, &c. With careful planning, they can be made attractive by planting them with low-growing aromatic.
Herbs, such as Garden and Lemon Thymes, Winter Savory, and, amongst Herbs of rampant higher growth,
Santolina chamaecyparissus, the Lavenders, Pot Marjoram, the Sages, Borage, Camphor Plant, Comfrey,
Tansy, Hyssop, Rue, and so on.
Nearly all Herbs are indifferent to wind and succeed in any bleak, exposed places. There are a few exceptions
to this, notably Rosemary and the half-hardy herbs such as the Basils.
