Must-Know Tips for Growing Herbs

Growing herbs like basil and mint in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. To prevent pests like aphids, plant dill or cilantro nearby as natural deterrents. Water consistently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, and fertilize with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Prune herbs regularly to encourage bushier growth and harvest leaves as needed, pinching off the top growth to promote new growth.
