When we bought our house 2 years ago, the previous owners had planted mint in the ground, despite having a raised garden bad. My wife and I spent an entire afternoon taking back mulch and digging to remove the mint. We built a 2nd garden box and put it over the top of the mint spot, but I'm already seeing bits of mint poking up from under the box...
Why don't you just...eat it?
It strangles the other plants. And the underground root growth means it's really hard to get rid of after it breaks containment.
What are your other plants?
Personally? Gravel, tar, some cancerous chemicals holding the two together...
Wait then why not just let the mint grow?
I think there's been a misunderstanding. I don't have anywhere to grow anything unless it's in pots. I'm talking about mint generally, and why people don't like it growing in ground versus in pots.
Yep! It also spreads like a weed.
