Oregano is one of the few herbs that tends to work better when dried than when fresh. I suggest that you pick off a sprig and dry it, then compare with bottled oregano. If yours is still weaker, then consider doing things to emulate a Mediterranean environment.

* Browse growing tips. You can give each herb its preferred conditions.

* You want poor, sandy or rocky soil. Too much fertilizer will ruin the flavor. Too much water will kill the plants; they can't stand wet feet.

* You can mix soil with sand or gravel so it drains better.

* Make a container garden.

* A rock garden is great in cooler climates because it forms a heat sink.

* Install an herb spiral. This gives you many microclimates for herbs with different tastes.
