The Essentials for Starting
To kick off your herbal garden, you’ll need quality soil, good drainage, and plenty of sunlight. Choose a variety of herbs based on your needs. Some popular options include basil, chamomile, and echinacea. Don’t forget to consider your climate; some herbs thrive in specific conditions.
Planting Techniques
Once you’ve selected your herbs, it’s time to plant. Seeds can be started indoors and transplanted later, or you can plant directly in your garden. Pay attention to spacing and depth, as each herb has its own requirements. Water consistently, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
