Don't buy more herbs – you can divide these ones in autumn and double your plants for free

Outdoor herbs in containers.

Make space in your garden to grow your own herbs and you’ll have a ready-made supply of tasty and aromatic leaves to add to dishes when cooking or to flavour home-made cocktails and teas.

Whether you grow herbs in pots, raised beds or in the ground, they can sometimes get too large and start to take over the growing space if you’re not careful. But for an easy fix that will rejuvenate plants and give you masses more herbs for free, this is the perfect time to lift and divide herbs.
