@@Selfsufficientme great video. Didn't even know there are many varieties. Is it best to put the nitrogen fertilizer on soil only or is it safe on the leaves to consume pls?
One tiny tip. If you only get one basil plant to grow(happened to me one year and seeds couldn't be found) I took a few cuttings and had them sitting in water for cooking with later in the week and it rooted. So now I pick my best plants and make cuttings to root and move around the garden.
My garden is HAPPIER and HEALTHIER because of you and your PHENOMENAL VIDEO’S!!!!! Thank-You so much for sharing all your FANTASTIC KNOWLEDGE with ALL of US!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@solomonkojah2378 about two days I took the seeds from a plant we bought just after they dried up The first time i tried to bury them and they never grew But this time i just sprinkled them on the soil and it worked!
I have always struggled with basil. I plan on growing a good amount late spring, in a cold climate. I was putting out transplants which were low yielding and expensive. I planned on sowing this year. So I think your video helped to steer me in the right direction. Thanks for that!
When harvesting basil, I have also found that cutting a full stem rather than pulling off individual leaves helps to keep the plant producing the soft and plump leaves. Otherwise the stem, with the rest of the young leaves at the top still on, just dies and the whole plant looks anemic or the remaining leaves will get dry and taste woody.
I can 👏 not 👏 get over how knowledgeable you are! Thank you, keep going so you can teach me whom is a non-green-thumb inclined, lol!!! Blessing from Texas, USA.
i once bought a tin with sweet basil juice soda in a little shop run by foreigners. it was way too sweet, but i noticed st remarkable. that basil goes very well with sweet taste. balanced out its really nice.
Basil tips, i've noticed slugs come from everywhere to eat the basil so i grow it in containers that make it impossible for them to climb, for example adding baseline or chemicals(also smashed flowers they dont like the smell), and also i tried double side tape covered with grains of salt which is actually really effective(not a single one got up that night) but it wears of with watering quickly, so the most effective turns out to be a combination of an angle and vaseline, since its under a curve/angle the rain doesnt wash it away and the already fighting gravity slugs when they touch get lubbed and fall, also ants can't get to it (altough they dig).
The best way to get rid of slugs is containers of beer placed out in the garden. Anything from a bowl to the bottom of a plastic bottle with a few centimetres of beer in the bottom - it will attract MASSES of slugs which drown in the beer. Use the cheapest beer possible because the slugs are not fussy ;-) The best thing about this method is it actually kills the slugs, just as effectively as slug pellets, but cheaper and totally non-toxic to most other things.
Caleb Fuller oh, thanks a lot i have some spoiled non alcoholic beer in the garage. by the way, any tricks for caterpillars? i just killed all of them (+-50) with a pair of scissors yesterday
@@IberianCraftsman Not sure it works with non-alcoholic beer, but please let me know how it goes. My understanding is the alcohol is a fundamental part of the trap - the slugs literally get "dead drunk" - either from alcohol poisoning or they get so drunk they just slide into the beer and drown. Regardless, it really works! The best thing for caterpillars, if hand-removal becomes too much, is bacillus thuringiensis, AKA BT, Dipel, etc. It's a bacteria which, while harmless to most animals, gives insect larvae such as caterpillars a lethal stomach infection if they consume it. Totally effective against caterpillars, won't even harm a ladybug or mantis if it gets sprayed, and totally harmless to any birds which eat the dead caterpillars, or to humans.
When my basil tries to go to seed I cut it down almost to a stump with almost no leaves on it and it regrows a whole new crop, I have found doing this technique that it will never go to seed and the leaves with stay super plump and healthy the whole time. This is especially useful if you need a bunch of basil all at once, for pesto, rather than it just as a spice.
I used this planting method in South Africa and the Middle East with great success due to plenty of sun. In England though it didn’t work well. Seedling too close together, too much rain I had brown dots on the leaves from mildew - too much damp essentially. Now, in England I prick the seedling out and plant on in individual small pots to avoid fungus/mildew.
@@z.weertje7209 what I heard is about ratio, 1 part urine, 10 part water! Also add 1 part banana peel's tea and sea salt (for un liter of urine 1 Tsp of sea salt)
I've just set up my first batch of stinging nettle liquid manure. What you do is, you take 1 kg of nettle on 10 ltr water. Some say you should mince the nettle a bit but I've just squashed it properly with my hands. That will break open the cell walls I guess. Use rain water if you can. Put the nettles in a bucket, squash them, add the water and then add a small cup of limestone pulver/aglime (that's supposed to suppress the scent of decomposition). Put a stone or something on top, so that all the nettles are submerged. Let it rot for about two weeks. Aerate/churn it every day. It's done when there are no more bubbles coming up while churning.
@@jalemairliha Yeah. Use gloves for harvesting and squashing them. Once they're squashed they shouldnt sting anymore, because those parts of the plant are pretty bristle.
Grow it next to your tomatoes ,trim if going to seed until your tomatoes start to flower then let it bolt it will bring in the bees for better pollination
Did ya know that if u plant one basil every second aubergine plant you will be amazed with both of them! I learned it from my Grandfather in southern Greece..Sparta.
I recently started growing herbs and i did not have a clue to what i was doing, thanks to you i have learnt a lot. My sweet basil has a fungus and i was told to mix epsom salts with water or dishwashing liquid and water an add a litle bit of cooking oil to it, have not tried it yet.
It's really a good thing to see that you would rather wait for the seed than continuously propagate Basil. Most gardeners I watch prefer propagating Basil since it will be an endless stock for them. However, I think you will get more Basil out of waiting for the seeds AND it will be less work for you. Only will it give you a phase wherein your present Basil plants produce less aromatic leaves and you have to wait for the new seedlings to mature again.
Mark, you ROCK! I Love your videos! I've had so much fun since I started gardening a few years ago and these videos are so helpful. Thanks for the tip about growing some other varieties of basil - I had no idea there were more than just the three knew of. Most of all, thanks for sharing what works for you and what doesn't. You grow so many DIFFERENT things successfully - my hero! One day I hope to be like you! :-)
This is such a great tip! I love the idea of growing a bunch of it together and then thin it out as needed!! Thank you so much for the gardening help and the inspiration! All the best, Mary

Thanks for your videos Mark. You are very educacting, funny and enjoyable in every way. Thank you for your efforts and helping us all to make our gardens better :)
Hello from far far far away...from France😊. I have to say that I love your ways of giving tips and advice... and above all, your great sense of humour and enthusiasm.. I became one of your followers about 2 weeks ago and stlll enjoy your videos. Good job ! And thank you !
Pinon nuts are very expensive so I don't use them anymore in my pesto I have substituted almonds or pecans. I think pecans work the best because they're softer. I don't just use basil, I also use other herbs in my pesto, virgin olive oil and Spice. I do not add the cheese if I am freezing it. Lots of sites will tell you that you cannot freeze or can pesto but I have had great success freezing it and having it still be bright green after a year in the freezer. all you have to do is put it in a jar cover it with a little bit of olive oil and press plastic wrap down to the oil and then cap it. You can always add the cheese afterwards. I have also Frozen it with the cheese as well.
Been looking for a good basil video now I'm growing my own, the American videos are grating on me with "erbs" and "baysil" and I cannot bear them. Can't beat a good Aussie! Subscribed :D
Mmmmmmm, that would be so amazing in home-made, natural banana, date and almond (fried in coconut oil and pink salt), ice cream and maybe a sprig of mint :)
That was awesome! My basic basil plant looks a little sad so thinking it's drying out too much. drooping leaves and some have died already. I've also planted chocolate basil, cinnamon basil, lemon basil and an apple basil that smells divine!!!! Can't wait to they all grow bigger and I can start harvesting.

Happy belated birthday! Basil is excellent for aging gracefully and improving the overall health of animal organisms. My dogs pick a few basil stems throughout the growing season and they are very vibrant. I eat a good amount of basil and I make a puree mask of basil for my face, neck and hands. Seems to keep my skin youthful.😊 Love the video.💚 Thank you for sharing!
Our just died T- T Apparently they are a tad trickier to grow. We asked our local herb store why thyme was more expensive than the rest. Our tarragon, oregano, spanish thyme, and basil are doing ok though.
basil is a must grow for me every year. it makes a great companion plant for tomatos grown in the green house. an extra bonus is the scent when you brush past it. ( not to mention how good it is in tomato dishes )...…………...brian
Hey! No sad sad, here and there push some snow out creating ways for light and heat to melt the snow quicker. Not to mention, a nice refraction of light will help heat snow to melt! Careful💥
@@tkayshakur2500 Did you read the part about 4 FEET of snow? Winter isn't over for us here yet. 10 cm fell here today, so although I appreciate your optimism, that's not our current reality either. We've been shoveling the stuff for 5 months now, and there is nowhere left to put it, so at this point aside from keeping driveway and walkways cleared, we are going to wait for spring to give us a hand. :-)

I was putting out transplants which were low yielding and expensive. I planned on sowing this year. So I think your video helped to steer me in the right direction. Thanks for that!

@@angerainbow9200 Still struggling lol. This year my spring was screwed up and didn't plant any. Next year I will direct seed more

oh wow that basil is beautiful all of it, i'm hoping to finally grow some that beautiful with these tips. I'm never able to get it big enough to use.

Can I crop it to get it bushy.
I am a complete novice.

That black basil looks stunning, very metal.
Remember to pick the whole tips, and not just the bigger/lower leaves. Knocking off the tips promotes a bushy plant over a sparse pencil like result
Honestly, who the heck would give this guy a "thumbs down"? Great video.
