Holes in your leaves indicate something is munching on your basil. I am a big basil fan and grow nearly 20 plants each year.
The fragrant basil sometimes attract unwanted bugs, caterpillars, and spiders. I prefer to cover the basil with a light netting to help cutdown on insect damage.
Neem Oil is a good safe product to use in the garden.
Here are a few links to help you.
