How can I create a medicinal herb garden

Sure! Here are six different ways you can create a medicinal herb garden:

**Choose Your Herbs**: Start by picking the herbs you want to grow. Some popular choices are basil, mint, chamomile, and lavender. Make sure they’re suitable for your climate!

**Pick a Spot**: Find a sunny spot in your yard or balcony that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Herbs love the sun!

**Prepare the Soil**: Good soil is key. You can mix some compost with the existing soil to make it rich and nutritious. Just make sure it drains well!

**Planting**: You can either start from seeds or buy small plants from a nursery. If you’re using seeds, follow the instructions on the packet for planting depth and spacing.

**Watering and Care**: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water your herbs regularly, but let the top inch of soil dry out between watering. Don’t forget to trim them to encourage growth!
