Growing Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) BIO (organic) is a wonderful way to have this fragrant and versatile herb at your fingertips. Rosemary is known for its aromatic leaves, which are commonly used in culinary dishes and herbal preparations. Here's a guide on how to grow Rosemary 'Rosmarinus officinalis' BIO:
**1. Soil and Site:**
- Rosemary prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0-7.0). Choose a sunny location for planting, as rosemary loves full sunlight.
**2. Planting Time:**
- Rosemary can be grown from seeds, but it's often easier to propagate from cuttings or purchase established plants. Plant in spring or fall, avoiding extreme temperatures.
**3. Planting Cuttings or Transplants:**
- If using cuttings, take a 4-6 inch (10-15 cm) stem cutting, remove the lower leaves, and plant it in well-draining soil. If using transplants, space them about 24-36 inches (60-90 cm) apart.
**4. Watering:**
- Rosemary is drought-tolerant once established, but it benefits from regular watering during dry periods. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the soil has good drainage.
**5. Fertilization:**
- Rosemary doesn't require heavy fertilization. If needed, you can provide a balanced organic fertilizer in the spring. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as this can lead to leggy growth.
**6. Mulching:**
- Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
**7. Pruning:**
- Prune rosemary regularly to maintain a compact and bushy shape. This also encourages new growth and prevents the plant from becoming woody. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season.
**8. Companion Planting:**
- Rosemary is a great companion plant, as it can repel certain pests. Consider planting it near vegetables or plants that are susceptible to pests.
**9. Harvesting:**
- Harvest rosemary sprigs as needed throughout the growing season. The flavor is often more intense when harvested in the morning. Avoid harvesting more than one-third of the plant at a time to ensure continued growth.
**10. Overwintering:**
- Rosemary is generally hardy, but if you're in a colder climate, consider providing winter protection. Mulch around the base of the plant to insulate the roots. Alternatively, grow rosemary in containers and bring them indoors during the winter.
**11. Culinary Use:**
- Rosemary is a versatile herb used in a variety of culinary dishes, including roasted meats, stews, and bread. Fresh or dried rosemary can be used based on your culinary preferences.
Growing Rosemary 'Rosmarinus officinalis' BIO organically is not only beneficial for your health but also for the environment. Adjust care based on your specific growing conditions, and enjoy the fragrant and flavorful leaves of this herb.
