How can I grow an herb garden?
assistant
1. Start by researching the best herbs for your area. Figure out whether to grow your herbs indoors or outdoors.
2. Select a location for your herb garden. Make sure that the area is sunny, receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, and is free from strong winds.
3. Prepare the soil. To ensure robust growth, the soil should be nutrient-rich, well-draining, and light. Amend the soil with compost if need be.
4. Plant your herbs in the soil. Plant each herb at least 6-12 inches apart and make sure to water the plants regularly.
5. Feed and prune your herbs. Give your herbs fertilizer regularly, and prune your plants frequently to stimulate growth and prevent overcrowding.
6. Harvest your herbs as needed. Ensure that you harvest only a few leaves from each plant at a time.
