FYI: Extreme heat, wind, and dryness can cause the volatile sweeter notes to evaporate prior to distillation. Avoid using excessive amounts of fertilizer, including nitrogen-based fertilizers. And, never use strong manures such as pig or chicken manures. For the home garden, an application of well-balanced compost and some lime will benefit the plants. Remember that lavenders and lavandins love lime. They grow in stony, limestone soils in their natural habitat. They grow and yield best where there is adequate calcium in the soil, i.e., in a gritty, sandy loam with a pH factor between 6.0 and 8.0. Lime may be added in the fall or be incorporated before planting.
