BAY TREE - How to grow your own life time supply of bay leaves in one pot

The best way to have bay leaves is to grow your own. If you have a small garden the best way to keep a bay tree is in a container. This episode is all about how to grow and look after your bay tree - Laurus Nobilis. How to prune and maintain it in a pot and look after its location and temperature requirements. Bays are slow growing and my tree is about 10 years old and doing well in a sheltered position in a pot. This herb is fundamental to many Mediterranean and bean dishes and it is an important medicinal herb with great anti-inflammatory properties. Try a bay tree for all year round greenery that can be shaped and made into topiary.

What is the recipe for your combination for pickling! I saw that mason jar you showed and it looks great! Can you share what you made? I think I saw Jerusalem artichoke!, garlic, bay leaves, Rose Mary, peppercorns? It that what it is? I'm growing those too!
