Q: When it comes to choosing soil to grow the lemon balm in, opt for a rich, well-drained clay or sandy loam. Ideally, you want the soil to have a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Soilless potting mixes, vermiculite, perlite, coco peat, and rockwool are also ideal mediums for growing lemon balm as long as you fertilize them regularly. Lemon balm doesn’t require a lot of fertilizer for healthy growth. However, it’s still a good idea to mix in some slow-release fertilizer into the soil when you plant to ensure that the plants receive a steady supply of nutrients over time.  A slow-release fertilizer with a 19-19-19 ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is ideal for growing lemon balm. Be sure to read the fertilizer label to determine the proper amount to add to your lemon balm plants and how often you need to reapply it. When it comes time to place the lemon balm in the soil, proper spacing is key because it can spread quickly as it grows. Place seeds 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) beneath the soil and seedlings at the same depth that they are in their containers, and space the plants so they’re at least 12 to 15 inches (30 to 38 cm) apart. You may need to thin the seedlings as they grow so there is enough space between the plants.
A: Use a rich, well-drained soil for planting. Add slow-release fertilizer to the soil. Space the lemon balm evenly in the soil.

Q: A large pile from a week or two's reading should be a good start. Each section should be folded to the size of half a page. Add a tablespoon of detergent to the water and mix gently.

Q: If you're grappling with change of (or to find) faith in something, or seeking to name and use a faith that you feel, but have trouble voicing -- it can be stimulating and uplifting to join a group or congregation in that arena. Acknowledging a higher power in an organized setting offers many people satisfaction, relief and strength. If you think you might be one of them, but weren't raised in a religious kind of faith, spending some time exploring different denominations and faiths, learning about their belief-systems and finding what speaks to you the most exercises your power of choice.  If you were raised in a church, but are feeling dissatisfied, you might be in a crisis of faith. Do you use the doubt or question you're experiencing to reforge (with sparks flying) your beliefs? Or to find faith elsewhere? Each person will need to answer this question for oneself, but exploring other options is always a smart way to go about answering it. If you're unsatisfied in one congregation, try another. If your religion is giving you more questions and conceptual irritants than answers, start reading up on your or another way of believing. Have faith that you'll find (receive) the right answer. Buddhists have faith in the Noble Eightfold Path, which is a method of living in moderation as a way of ending human suffering by eliminating clinging desires. Faith in Buddhism derives from the pali word saddhā, which often refers to a sense of conviction. The saddhā is often described as "a conviction and determination to accomplish one's goals and cultivate a sense of joy".
