[Sca-cooks] Re: More Lovage

[Jeff Gedney]

Here in CT I never had much problem with it, growing it 
or with it spreading beyond control.

I too have very high clay soil, and I heavily worked 
coarse sand, lime and Peat moss into the soil before 
starting the garden.

The lovage liked it best whne it was wet, but I dont 
think that I ever had to support it. (If it got any 
higher I could see it, though.)
The stuff is danged easy to grow, though, and seemed 
relatively immune to most of the bugs I dealt with.

If you were to grow this in a container, I'd use a mix 
of peat moss and pearlite, use a large container, and 
keep it on the wet side. But it should be doable that 
way. The stuff is very forgiving.
