Dr. Jonathan “Jon” Vrban is a cooking enthusiast who recently started writing his own cookbook. To procure fresh ingredients for his recipes, Dr. Jonathan Vrban maintains an herb garden at his home in Hawaii. Creating a thriving herb garden requires careful planning, especially when it comes to selecting a location. Gardeners interested in growing fresh herbs should find an outdoor spot at home which receives at least six hours of sunlight each day. While some herbs such as parsley can grow efficiently in the shade, most herbs require ample sunshine and warmth for healthy development. To help trap heat in the soil, gardeners should consider using stone or brick as garden edging. Herb gardens are sensitive to water, and planting your garden in a location that allows standing water to gather beneath the soil can cause plant roots to rot. It is crucial that gardeners not overwater herbs and that they ensure that the bed the herbs are planted in is either raised or packed with organic matter to improve drainage.
