1 Comment To "Should You Fertilize Basil Plants"

It isn't necessary, usually. Most soils will contain plenty of fertilizer, and will not require any extra. Fertilizing too much can make basil taste a little less than desirable, or even harm the plants.
I would only feed if a soil test shows the soil to be deficient.
