Mint and lemon balm are best grown in pots or boxes
Aromatic herbs are not only a tasty addition to dishes and drinks. Growing them brings a lot of advantages to the gardener. Unpretentious plants with a nice aroma like mint and lemon balm have the following advantages.
OBOZREVATEL searched on the properties of mint and lemon balm. We will tell you why they should be planted in any vegetable garden. One condition applied: these herbs need to be quite carefully controlled because they sprout very quickly.
Cultivation without too much hassle
Mint and lemon balm are unpretentious in terms of soil and care. You can grow them in a box, in a bed and even in a pot on the windowsill. The downside of such unpretentiousness is that the plants quickly grow wide due to the rhizome. This is why they are best grown boxes or barrels. They will hold back the green invader.
Goodbye, snails
The strong and pleasant aroma of these plants is extremely unpleasant for garden pests such as snails. This is why you can vary your beds with mint. They will become a kind of border against snails. It is not 100% effective, but still some of the gastropods will not miss it for sure.
No to insect pests
The smell of mint and lemon balm also scares away mosquitoes, flies and other insects that harm people and garden plants. Dill, coriander or marigold work for the same thing.
Yes to insect pollinators
On the contrary, butterflies, bees and other insects that pollinate plants, love the fresh minty aroma. They are more likely to fly into the garden or orchard where you have planted them and therefore create a positive effect on the yield.
A tasty and healthy addition to the diet
Fresh mint leaves can be added to salads and summer cocktails. Mint and melissa can be brewed fresh and dried in a tea. Such herbs are appropriate in any diet. In addition, these herbs are considered medicinal. They soothe the stomach, treat an inflamed throat, help sleep, relieve headaches and so on. In the end, you can use these plants in many ways.
