How to Grow a Never-Ending Supply of Basil

Imagine if you could buy your basil from the grocery store once, and have an endless supply. Well, you can...with a little know-how.

We've all done it- you buy your tasty, aromatic basil in a pot or a pack, only for it to wilt and die days later. If only we could keep it alive so that it not only survives, but thrives and multiplies. There is a way to do this, and in this week's episode Ben shows us how.
Pass the pasta!

Good morning Ben, this video is a perfect solution to our "always" out of stock of Basil. I cannot wait to start my experiment of cuttings for a more continual supply of a very special herb. It has just such a beautiful fragrance and is always so delicious in our food. I so enjoy your programme on gardening, you always have something for us the viewers to try and enjoy. Wishing you well with many blessings, thank you for all the most helpful garden tips and advice. Have a smashing good day. Kind regards.

Thanks Ben! I just took a huge handful of cuttings but I can see that I planted a previous cutting outside in the greenstalk too soon. Thanks for such a thorough education.

I'm going to have to try this. I have cardinal basil and blue spice basil growing, plus a basil plant my dad started early this spring. We lost him in May. I can keep his plant growing and make several plants : )
