What kind of soil is better for MINT

Peppermint has strong adaptability and can survive in most soils. Garden soil, sand soil and mixed soil are recommended here. Because the garden soil is the easiest to obtain, which can keep water and fertilizer; the sand soil has good drainage, which can prevent the plants from storing water and rotten roots; the mixed soil can integrate the advantages of several kinds of soil, which is conducive to the growth of plants.

1. Garden soil

Common garden soil is generally the surface soil of vegetable garden, orchard or park. It is the most common cultivated soil with slight acid. It has a relatively strong ability of water conservation and fertilizer application, but its relative permeability is poor. Because of the strong survival ability of peppermint, the general soil can survive, and the garden soil with strong fertility can explode the pot faster

2. Sand

With about 1 /3 of the sand, mixed with the soil, the sandy soil can effectively drain water and maintain fertilizer, which is suitable for the growth of mint and can provide the required nutrients.

3. Mixed soil

Mix 1 /3 humus soil and 2 /3 garden soil to form a relatively soft soil with good water and fertilizer conservation. Using this kind of soil can prevent the soil from hardening after watering too much, which will cause the plant to rot, fall leaves or wither.

4. Precautions

Mint is easy to survive, as long as it is not too sticky soil, it can grow normally. If it is found that the soil is too heavy during planting, some sandy soil can be added, which is conducive to drainage.
