Mint Planting Guide
Mint🌿
1. Choose a Planting Location:
Mint prefers partial to full sun 🌞. It grows well in rich, moist, well-draining soil.
2. Prepare the Soil:
Amend the soil with compost to improve drainage and fertility 🌾. Mint prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).
3. Planting Instructions:
Plant mint seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 12-18 inches apart 🌍. Mint grows best in containers, as it can be invasive in the garden.
4. Watering Requirements:
Mint likes moist, but not waterlogged, soil 💧. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist.
5. Germination Time:
Mint seeds usually germinate in 7-14 days ⏳.
6. Ongoing Care:
Mint is a vigorous grower, so trim it back regularly 🌿. Harvest leaves as needed for culinary use, and keep it in check to avoid spreading.
