That is sad, as the wisdom and knowledge will this way be lost. The laws are sadly often made by people who have little understanding of how things will work in practice, if things are changed.

Growing Herbs at Home

I would second those basic choices, and also add Sage and Lavender, which are not hard to grow. Make sure you transplant the seedlings into a planter or pot with plenty of space. Soil should should be moist but not soggy (check for molds.) When the herbs get leggy, trim them back and take the top off, and dry your cuttings. Southern light exposure is the best, but the herbs mentioned are not too fussy. All of those mentioned also have a number of different uses - including cooking.

Hi all guys,
there is nice topic and amazing topic....

For limited space, pick herbs according to your need. If you want spices, grow what you need but cannot buy at supermarkets...or those too expensive. For example, I cannot find Dwale anywhere (I use it in cyst salve), so I grow it myself. Rosemary is expensive to buy here, so I got seed and now have it growing in lots of places around town.

I'm an ex spagyric herbalist and used to run 'Rare Seed Locators'. My advice would be to decide which herbs you cannot do without, but cannot buy at supermarket (or maybe just too pricey), and start there. I require Dwale, but cannot source it, so I grow it myself. Rosemary I use alot, but its pricey at stores, so I got some seed and spread it around the area...it now grows wild at many places, and so I get it for free.
