What are some tips for growing herbs from kitchen scraps

Sure! Here are four tips for growing herbs from kitchen scraps:

**Start with the Right Scraps**: Look for herbs like basil, mint, or green onions. For basil, just cut a stem and place it in water; it’ll start sprouting roots in no time. Green onions can be regrown by placing the white roots in a glass of water and putting it on a sunny windowsill.

**Use Good Soil**: Once your herbs have roots, transfer them to a pot with good quality potting soil. Make sure the pot has drainage holes so the roots don’t get waterlogged. Herbs love well-drained soil!

**Keep it Sunny**: Most herbs need a lot of sunlight to thrive. Make sure to place your pots in a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. If you don’t have a sunny window, consider using grow lights.
