    Hello everyone,

    I'm a first timer and feel so lucky to find such a great forum to read and experience what others have done and gone through...

    I'm trying to grow (keep alive) my wife's herb garden and she's wanting me to grow mini basil... The leaves were a nice rich green color but I started to notice some of the leaves turning black. I have other herbs in the same pot... (lavender, rosemary, parsley etc...) but only experience this problem with my mini basil.

    Am i watering it too much? My plant averages about 8 hours of full sun, and water it once in the morning, roughly 15 ounces H20 per square foot.

    Mahalo

    I've heard that if your care is correct the only reason I guess is Potassium deficiency. Not sure with that.
