sweet basil grows with little work at all. :) I personally like to grow in clumps of seedlings. I start out how ever many "clumps" I want of about 6-8 seeds approx 1/2 inch deep. As they break through the soil, I just kind of watch them for a week or so. Then I start to pull the weaker looking seedlings until eventually, close to time to transplant, I have 2 or 3 strong looking seedlings. Then, simply water when the soil gets dry (not too dry though...my sounds like a suction sometimes when I water it...lol) & check for pests on a normal basis. I think i've had 3 bugs total on my plant so far this year. Basil, at least in my location, doesn't seem to attract many bugs at all. They eventually form into massive plants. Mine below is still small. I started the plant below on May 15th (it's actually two plants/seeds). Regarding the other herbs, I don't have much experience with them. Try the search on here like the others mention. A ton of useful info. It's like GardenWiki or something. =)

If you read the literature, they are basically describing a two speed motor that uses a run capacitor which improves the low speed efficiency. A.O. Smith now sells two speed motors with run capacitors and they claim the efficiency is about 20% better. Some of the other manufactures may start to use these new two speed motors. The Whisperflo 1 HP full rated pump will use about 380 watts on low speed with a flow rate of 42 GPM. On the same plumbing, their 1 HP full rated pump would deliver about 42 GPM at 320 watts or about 20% more efficient which is about what A.O.Smith is claiming.

You might do a little research on what is best for babies. High contrast helps their eyes and their eye coordination develop. I used to work with a girl who did her whole Nursery in black and white, but I think that might have been going to a bit of an extreme LOL. I know that in the past people used to use soft pastels, but it seems like something with more darks and brights or darks and lights might be better.

first off.. thats probably a couple grand of rock ... i would not get rid of it.. and i would not move it very far .. it can ... AND WILL BE [being positive here..lol] ... a very cool part of the future scape .. but i do agree.. i dont like then just lined out like soldiers surrounding the beds .. or lining future walkways ... i would probably also think about removing all the large random trees left ... not today.. not next year.. just in the future .. if you are going to go all dwarf and min in there.. these large older trees might start looking all out of proportion ... next.. completely antithetical to what i just said .. lol ... https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffcm&q=antithetical&ia=definition i would think about the future backbones of the bed ... trees grow in tree time .... and they have to go in first.. to get moving for the future ... i would grab a couple adult beverages.. and lawnchairs.. and head a few hundred feet up and down the main road ... and just look at your house.. and how you want to frame it with the future backbones ... perhaps blocking the main window form headlights.. etc . then with those in mind.. i would define spaces for groupings ... and move on from there ... back to the rocks.. here are some ideas for the future ... https://duckduckgo.com/?q=stacked+rocks+art&t=ffcm&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images ken
