Chives, Thyme, Sage, Mint, Basil -- combos?
I am transplanting seedlings into containers. Are there any of these herbs that should not share a container (eg want drier / wetter soil) ?

Chives
Thyme
Sage
Rosemary
Mint
Basil

The Rosemary is going in its own container because it is like Napoleon.

1. Mint sort of takes over everything

I would keep the mint in its own pot as it's likely to grow fast and kind of strangle out the others. Sage and rosemary like lots of sun and a bit drier conditions than mint and basil like, so I would put the sage and rosemary in one pot and give them a very sunny spot.
