do the chicken grit mound thing for all woody herbs; also, in the summer, cut a donut hole in the middle to let the stems dry out.

Wow; toughy. For starters, I could never get sage to grow. Too humid, 
I expect. Basil is pretty much a no-brainer, but African basil is best 
because it's slower to bolt. Many of the mint family--oregano, thyme-- 
do fine in the shade... except mint, itself; I could never get it to 
grow. Rosemary's a weed, but the trailing kind makes a nice hanging 
basket. Can't think of any others that I planted.
