An herb garden may be a good option if:
-
l you have limited space,
-
You don’t have a lot of time to devote to gardening
-
You’re unable, for physical reasons, to spend a lot of time on your hands and knees
-
Your garden conditions are less than ideal: poor soil, bad drainage, too much shade or sun (this would require the use of a container garden).
