How to Grow

Soil

A couple of weeks before planting, prepare the soil by incorporating plenty of organic matter, such as compost and well-rotted animal manure.

When growing dill in pots, use free-draining soil mixed with compost or a good-quality potting mix.

Position

Dill prefers full sun when growing in winter. At other times, partial shade is recommended.

How to Plant

When conditions are too hot or cold, propagate the seeds in a mini greenhouse and transplant once the weather becomes more suitable.

Dill can be prone to bolting to seed, so keep the plants well hydrated and protect them from direct, hot sun.
