Explore the timelineStep 1: Prepare Mediterranean soil
Mix compost with sandy loam to improve drainage while maintaining moisture. Incorporate stone mulch at surface to conserve soil warmth and reduce weeds.
Step 2: Choose resilient herbs
Select rosemary, thyme, oregano, savory, and basil varieties suited to warm, dry summers. Favor native or region-adapted cultivars for robust growth.
Step 3: Plant with companions
Interplant basil with tomatoes or oregano near pepper plants to enhance pest deterrence and flavor synergy.
Step 4: Water wisely
Water deeply at dawn, allowing soil to dry between sessions. Implement drip irrigation to reduce waste and disease pressure.
Step 5: Harvest and preserve
Regular harvest encourages robust growth. Dry or infuse herbs in olive oil or vinegars for extended use without additives.
