This article discusses the benefits and uses of growing mint in a garden. Mint has a long history of medicinal and culinary uses, and it is a favorite among pollinators. It can be used to soothe stomachaches, stimulate appetites, and freshen breath. Mint is also commonly used in teas, beverages, salads, sauces, and desserts. However, it is important to keep mint controlled, as it has a tendency to spread and take over garden beds. Various varieties of mint are available, each with its own unique flavor and aroma. Mint can be easily grown in organically rich, moist, well-drained soil in sun to partial shade. It can be contained by planting it in pots or in areas with built-in barriers. Mint can be harvested throughout the season and dried for later use. Overall, mint is a versatile and useful herb to have in a garden, but it requires careful management to prevent it from becoming invasive. [Extracted from the article] |
