Starting

Sow seeds 1cm (½”) deep in sterilized seed starting mix. Basil is prone to damping off, so once seeds sprout, make sure they are adequately ventilated, and kept under very bright light. Thin to 20-25cm (8-10″) apart. Using bottom heat speeds germination.

Companion Planting

Basil is said to improve vigour and flavour of tomatoes, planted side-by-side. It’s also good with asparagus, oregano, and peppers. Basil helps repel flies, mosquitoes, and thrips.
