Will Fertilizer Kill Mint and Lemon Balm

Question

Will a fertilizer that kills weeds kill mint or lemon balm? I just planted some mint and lemon balm. I have fertilizer, but it says that it kills weeds. I know that both those plants behave like a weed, but will that fertilizer kill them?

Answer 1

Herbs like things a little tough. I would not fertilize them at all but that is just my opinion. I leave all mine to struggle a bit for the strongest flavor when used in cooking.
