Mint is one of the oldest plants used in many cuisines of the world. The stunning aroma that it gives to the dishes is not comparable with any other spice.

Therefore, the demand for it grows with the onset of cold weather, and, therefore, the plant remains popular from September to April.

Planting it is best in a sunny area, and watering is quite common. This plant loves heat, so before you start breeding it, you need to evaluate your window sills or loggia for heat and sunshine.

This type of business is suitable for anyone who has at least one free window sill. The only negative – will have to buy seeds specifically designed for germination. They are inexpensive, and you can even order them with home delivery. The process is then very simple: seeds are poured into a shallow form and poured over with water so that it does not completely cover them. From above the form is covered with a piece of cotton fabric and left in a warm place. A day later, the seeds are already empty shoots! Now it remains to rinse them under running water and dry them a little – the germinated sprouts are ready for use! A simple business that can pay off in just 1 day – isn’t it a tempting offer?

You should choose the freshest and “healthy”-looking root. At home it is placed in warm water for several hours. After this short time, the first buds should appear on it! Next, the root must be planted in the ground (but not deeper than 3 cm) and generously watered. You can harvest the first harvest in 2 weeks!
