Mints
I grow a number of small edibles in large containers, in the interest
of water conservation because I am in an arid zone. My major mysterious problem in recent years as been some mints -- which I would have thought would be pretty trouble free. Oregano and sage are native here, and I try to give them what they needs in nature, namely not too much water in warm weather Spearmint is European and therefore wants more water, and I try to oblige. In both of the past few summers, both spearmint and oregano, though not sage, began to turn black about half through the summer. I was feeding them an organic fertilizer, and they were both surely moist enough, so I tried reducing the water supply, which didn't seem to help. What is it that they need that I am not giving them? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel |
