I had some in a pot and recently switched to another and the roots made a thin blanket liner, crazy!

Is say mint. Plant in a pot always

The only thing I’ve met that can eradicate mint is my ex mother-in-law. She made mint tea and overgrazed it to death. Aside from annihilating mint, she was pretty cool.

Could be worse, could be kudzu. That won’t even die in a fire.

I’d say European nettles. Those stingy bastards are impossible to remove.

So, if I have mint in a pot, all controlled, and I want to kill it so I dont risk contaminating my environment, how would I do it? Contaminatig water sources ir ground dirt is not a major concern as it is potted and away from actual ground.

I have planted mint around ten times and I still have zero mint. Did I somehow buy a house in the Bermuda Triangle of mint??

patchouli is in the mint family…. is it hardy like this too? I’d love it to take over my back yard

I’m a lazy gardener so anything that tends to its self is good on me, mint, alliums, and other volunteers… I don’t mind digging it out here and there to make room for a few tomatoes and chiles in my backyard garden. I’d rather not plant it on the far outside of containers though.

I keep mint around my chicken coop. They keep it lined at the fence. And I rip it out the ground for a smelly good treat. 🏆mint

I wish mint would take over my lawn.

On the bright side, I love where my mint is growing into my lawn from the beds I am growing it in. Makes my yard smell amazing every time I cut the grass.
