Sweet Basil will help protect your cannabis garden

An annual grown from seed fresh every year, it can be sown directly in the ground or in a container. Place a pinch of seeds on the surface and cover lightly with soil mix. Regularly pluck out the flowers and young growth to encourage a healthy plant with a lush aspect.
