1. Soil and Sun Mastery

Connnect compost-rich loam with well-drained soil. Herbs prefer full sun; ensure at least 6–8 hours of light for robust oils and aromas.

2. Watering Wisdom

Implement deep, infrequent irrigation. Mulch to reduce evaporation; let the topsoil dry between waterings to prevent root rot.

3. Pruning for Health

Prune flowering spurs to encourage leafy growth in basil and mint. Regular pinching maintains compact, productive plants.

4. Companion Planting

Pair savory with peppers, thyme with cabbage, and rosemary near root crops to deter pests and attract beneficial insects.
