Merry Lycett Harrison, an Herbalist’s Blog

Alright all you herbal enthusiasts… I just created our very own herb network for everyone interested in medicinal and culinary herbs and herb gardening at http://herbsforall.ning.com. Share your stories and ask your herb questions or even communicate with other herbalists around the world like I just did with a person in Australia. I put up some great pics of some of my herb research projects and wild plants too.

I went to buy organic nitrogen fertilizer at the nursery. All the carts with herbs were inside because of the cool weather. Outside, however, I came across a neglected cart that had a fantastic assortment of scraggly, medicinal herbs like fenugreek, holy basil and echinacea. You know I snapped those up!

I got my soil test back and it is very high in phosphorus. I have no clue what that means. I needs lots of nitrogen. I got the herb bed cleaned up and the little plants look happy now.
