Kitchen Bay


Question
I have a kitchen bay in a pot in the garden, it is approximately 2 foot tall but it doesn't look very healthy at the moment, I repotted it earlier in the year, the pot is 18" diameter, its in the sun most days, not water logged but its leaves are going brown around the edges and it just doesn't look well, is there anything I can do to help it. I know I need to bring it into the unheated conservatory for winter protection but apart from that I know very little about caring for it. Any advice on the subject would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Answer
Alison:
I can only say that it likes to be root bounded a little. When re-potting the roots must be slightly separated and moved to the next size pot. Add little bone meal or an organic fertilizer like liquid fish/seaweed mix. The other ways are good that you are doing. Feed every 3 weeks. Go to web site called"gardens alive.com" They carry a lot of organic products and may be able to help you more.
