Can we talk about skipping fertilizer for balcony herbs?

I had this EPIPHANY last summer when my basil plants went CRAZY without any extra feed. Everyone says to use plant food, but I found that good soil and sunlight are enough. My herbs tasted stronger and grew fuller than my friend's who used all the fancy stuff. Now I save money and have healthier plants. It just shows that sometimes less is more.

Remember feeling the same way when my mint went wild without any extra help! I used plain soil and good sunlight, and the plants were stronger than ever. It really proves that simple care is often the best approach!

Guess the herbs are rebelling against our overpriced plant snacks.
