Heard Brahmi can be cut many times. How many cuttings can I take and how is each harvest done?

Brahmi is a quick, multi cut herb. The first harvest comes a few months after planting once the runners cover the bed, and after that you can usually take repeated cuttings every couple of months through the year, since the cut plants regrow fast from the runners left behind. Each cut is taken by clipping the leafy growth above ground, keeping enough base for regrowth. Keep the bed weeded and moist for steady regrowth. Because you get several cuts a year the income is spread out rather than one big payment, which lowers your risk if a buyer is confirmed. Dry the herb properly between cuts if your buyer wants dry material. Confirm with your buyer whether they want fresh or dry, as that changes your handling and price.
I take a cut roughly every six to eight weeks in good weather. Keep it weed free or the Brahmi gets mixed with other plants and the buyer complains.
