I like to have my herbs a bit more spread out. I enjoy having different fragrances kick up when I’m in different areas of the garden. All still within an easy walk from the kitchen of course!
Solid video
Learned such a lot today. Something Iβve always failed at lol ! Now I know why . Iβm propagating some rosemary from my sonβs βtreeβ
now. And a jasmine vine. I love Basil, but can never get it to grow very big.
Another brilliant video Ben! Excellent work! Thank you!!!
Your treated pallet collar–do you know what they’re treated with? I’m sure you’ve checked to see if it’s safe, already. Thanks so much for this!
I love your channel. You are inspiring & make everything seem doable–even by newbies like me. Thank you for making these exciting videos. Love your positive attitude.
Can someone maybe help? My woman’s grandmother fetched me a blackcurrant for the garden but it has spikes, and black currant doesn’t have spikes, they are redish pink. I’m thinking European red raspberry? I used two separate plant ID apps and both say European red raspberry
Iβm currently planning a completely new garden at out log cabin.. itβs going to all be raised beds and planters as the βsoilβ is sand and rock! Iβm going to start with perennial herbs this fall. I just need to decide on my raised beds.
Great tutorial! I still have time to dedicate a bed to my herbs. At this time they are growing amongst my other veg.
Thanks for sharing!
Just really enjoy your videos. Too much fun ,almost as much fun as planting your own .
It’s not just the mint that can be invasive parsley is too and I have a huge bed of marjoram, DOH! horseradish is the worst offender I would only grow it in a double pot with the outer pot without a drainage hole, when we moved in the previous owner grew it in a standard pot that I couldn’t lift because it had massively rooted through, it took three years to get rid of it all.
Ben could you post up a list of invasive and non invasive herbs?
Where can you get pallet colars from. Thank you.
Brilliant Ben, so much great information. Much appreciated π
Can I use crumbled up polystyrene in place of pearlite?
I mean that white stuff that comes as packaging with everything.
Fantastic idea. I love my herbs so Iβll be going to buy some fresh ones at the supermarket very soon and follow your suggestionsβ as always a great job Ben. Thank you
This is very useful and full of good tips! Where does one get the pallet collars?

When I start my beds, I always add a bunch of cut up sticks and branches too. After that I add straw, and horse poop. Then my layer of good dirt. The break down is slow, but boy o’ boy, do I get the earthworms! And my garden always goes crazy! I sure love your videos!
I just started an herb garden in a large grow back. I pulled out what was growing there earlier and left the dill and oregano. Added basil, more dill, thyme. I already have a huge rosemary plant. Thanks for the video!
I try some thing like this. But the mint have to be in pots. I tryd appelmint in a plastisk-ring, it took over a big bed. Tanks for filming. Sorry for my englihs, I am from Norway.

I really like all your videos. This one really got my attention. I had been incorporating my herbs into my vegetable garden (as companions) but they are getting smothered and the cilantro kept bolting. Iβll do this for my fall harvest.
What are the pallet collars treated with?
Hi, I really enjoy watching this video and many useful information, thank you very much.I love growing herbs and I use them a lot in my Thai cookingβ€οΈ
Where did you get your pallet collars from ?
U love your instant vegie beds!
Look forward to an update when everything has filled out. Good video
Why did you plant the herbs in straight compost?
So many useful tips in this one short video. It’s my favorite so far. Besides the advice on rooting and potting on storebought herbs, I liked the demo of how to fill up the garden bed with free garden twigs and bits. Bought compost is a big expense and it’s also just fun to make use of every last bit from the garden. π
Hi Ben I got yellow leaves on my runner beans would espom salts help ??? Thanks for your time πππ
When dividing supermarket hebs, wash the roots by swishing them back and forward in a bucket of water, gently does it! You can seperate the whole pot up without breaking a single root, just takes a few minutes and a bit of care…Steve…π
Thank you
Thanks again !!
Hi, how to get hold of/buy pallet collars? If, as you said, they are pre treated, will the chemicals leach into soil? Love the ideas
I was always told not to use treated lumber for the boxes as the chemicals leech into the soil
8:42 Galumphing. Thatβs what mint does. Iβve been looking for the right word!
I love "regrowing" things from the grocery store!…potatoes, garlic, celery, spring onions to name a few. Oh, ginger is a fun one.Β
As for that oregano you dug up & separated, been there, done that. This can be done with any member of the mint family, so: any type of mint, oregano, thyme, lemon balm, etc. It’s literally impossible to kill the stuff, lol. All of these can be invasive, with sprawling root systems that go down & pop up elsewhere, so I recommend growing these in pots or containers.
Definitely grow your culinary herbs near the house(or even indoors) so you won’t forget about them when it’s time to cook, and so you won’t have to go too far to harvest them in a pinch.
Thank you for sharing this, for my herb πͺ΄ really grow slowly, I hope your improving my planting herb πΏ
I plant my mint into 5 gallon pails with the bottom cut off about 5β. I find mint extremely evasive. But this works and keeps it contained.
Where did yo get the pallet collars from, if I’ve heard you correctly?
No herb garden is complete without coriander / cilantro!
You are a Rock Star Ben! Love it!
just funny to hear you said ‘Brutally" to cut the stem of thyme…but thanks for all your ideas to grow herbs,,
Great update Ben.
Love the close to the door pallet collar bed. Easy harvesting from a setup like that and very fresh π
Love it. Would LOVE to see you tackle more unusual / historical herbs too. I collect Wormwoods! Beautiful foliage. How about feverfew, angelica, germander, borage?
In my country, grocery stores don’t sell alive herbs! We have to grow them all by ourselves π very useful and beneficial. Thanks π
Very informative. I’m in the process of planning and creating an herb garden at our local community farm and your videos are a tremendous help. Cheers from the Netherlands!
Thank you : )
My herbs didnβt grow yet, itβs been a week!! Also for most of my seedlings? What do you think is the problem.. itβs so frustrating π
I have pineapple sage, basil, mint, parsley, thyme, rosemary, lemon balm, lemongrass, oregano, & dill. Everything is thriving except the dill. Did much better last year.
This has some very good ideas.
In the US zone 6, parsley and basil are considered annuals and we have to replant every year. but I have found if I let parsley go to seed they come back. I planted parsley 5 years ago and still harvesting parsley, but they get about 3-4 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide so there is not enough space in this herb bed between parsley. I also got volunteer lemon basil this year and looks like volunteer Thai basil as well. I find that oregano will spread just like mint and pot it into bottomless pot like mint. you mentioned lemon balm which is lovely in tea but it spreads just like mint, so it also is in bottomless pot in herb bed.
I love these videos and almost always learn something new.
I grow borage from seed and find that it resows like mad.
