How to Grow Basil so You Have it Forever

Nicole Burke
About this episode

Want to know how to grow basil so it lasts forever? In this video, I’ll show you the simple pruning, harvesting, and propagating techniques that turn one $4 basil plant into a lifetime supply.

You’ll learn the biggest mistake most gardeners make when harvesting basil (and how to avoid it), how to prune at the leaf node for endless new growth, and how to root basil cuttings in water to grow new plants year-round. I’ll also share how to preserve basil for winter and collect seeds for next season so you never have to buy basil again.

If you’ve ever wished your basil plants could last forever, this step-by-step guide will show you exactly how!
