Best Answer

Basil likes a moist, semi fertile, tilled soil. Garden compost works well when planting out doors mix in with your regular garden soil. If you don't have access to compost a slow acting vegetable granular fertilizer works well like Osmocote Vegetable and Bedding Slow Release Food 14-14-14 (nitrogen - phosphorus - potassium). Over fertilizing Basil will cause excessive foliage and reduce the flavor. Basil is a light feeder once when planted and about 1 inch of water a week should be good.
