Choosing the right herbs for your garden can be tough.

Many gardeners forget that not all herbs grow well together, which can lead to problems. Here are some common issues and how to fix them:

1. Basil and Oregano:

   • Problem: These herbs taste great together, but they also fight for sunlight and space.
   • Fix: Grow them in separate pots to give them each enough room.

2. Mint:

   • Problem: Mint can spread a lot and take over your garden. It might even choke out other herbs nearby.
   • Fix: Keep mint in pots to stop it from taking over.

3. Thyme and Rosemary:

   • Problem: These two have different water needs. Too much water can harm rosemary and cause its roots to rot.
   • Fix: Plant them in soil that drains well or in separate spots in your garden.

4. Chives:

   • Problem: Chives have thick roots that can take up too much space. This makes it hard for other herbs to grow.
   • Fix: Regularly split chive plants up to give them and other herbs more space.

In short, to make your herb garden healthy and happy, you need to plan and take care of your plants.
