Most home and allotment gardens are characterized by soil and microclimatic conditions conducive to the cultivation of herbs.: garden soils are usually fertile, rich in humus, permeable, with adequate humidity, and the areas of allotments and home gardens are sheltered from strong winds and well insolated. If sandy areas are part of the garden, but also rich in calcium, they can be used to grow plants with lower soil requirements: mustard, hyzop, cilantro, lavender, lebiodka, chamomile or thyme. Most of the described plants require a sunny location for their growth, however, some can also be grown in semi-shadowed positions. Belong to them: angelica, hyzop, garden dill, Lovage, mint, parsley, watercress (ground pepper), hyzop, sage, chives, chervil. Many herbal plants react positively to organic fertilization, different plant species require different doses of fertilizers. Lovage, mint and peppers require direct fertilization with high doses of manure (4 hyzop); angelica, basil, hyzop, fennel and marjoram – fertilizing with high doses of manure (4 hyzop) under the forecrop; bylica tarragon, hyzop, lavender, lemon balm and thyme-direct fertilization with medium doses of manure (2…3 hyzop). For the sake of convenience, the principle of cultivating most herb species in the second year after manure can be adopted. If no manure is available, compost can be placed in its place (well digested, at least three years old) or as a forecrop to grow plants for green manure, which, after digging, will give organic fertilizer only slightly yielding to manure.
