In an old apartment complex we had a whole yard area that no one ever used. So I asked my landlord if I could put some potted plants in that area. She said no. So i planted mint directly into the lawn as revenge. She never said anything about it, but every time they mowed, we had the best smelling lawn.

I let this happen on purpose because I wanted to use mint as a ground cover. You can use a garden fork to pull it up by the roots if you want to control its spread. The roots are also usable, if you wash them well.

I am growing spearmint in a terracotta pot submerged to the bottom of the rim in a raised bed also containing Korean melons, sweet peppers and rosemary (also in a submerged terracotta pot.) So far, no detectable escapees. I keep the mint well trimmed. It is currently looking like a well manicured lavender mound. I recently discovered that spearmint is a great addition to a fresh leaf lettuce salad with a balsamic vinegar/EVOO dressing. The spearmint gets visually hidden by the lettuce for a surprising and refreshing burst of flavor as you chew. Thanks for this video!!

@@aiai-j7i Cut a bunch of long-ish stalks and tie together with string, hang up in a warm, airy place for a couple of weeks until the leaves are so dry they break up when you rub between your fingers. Strip the leaves off the stalks and store in an airtight jar.

I have grown mint from seeds and I noticed that, over the years, all the mint has turned into apple mint (light green and slightly fuzzy). Every once in a while I'll get a shoot of peppermint, but that's it. So if you're trying to grow lots of mint flavors, you may want to keep them separated so they don't cross pollinate and morph into each other. Or just don't plant apple mint 🙂

I currently have a grocery store mint growing in a pint glass... I just occasionally fill the bottom with water and it's been pushing new growth like crazy. Nothing like the grocery store basils that care about being too tightly packed and inconsistent watering (too much, too little). The mint just keeps pushing. Ironically I've tried to sow mint for multiple times without success.

I'm honestly puzzled by people claiming that mint & all mint relatives are invasive. In my experience, that's been untrue. We moved around a lot when I was a kid. One of my earliest memories is my mom digging up a part of our in ground mint plant, potting it & taking it with us to the next place we settled. My mom always planted the mint by a leaky outdoor faucet because we lived in a hot, dry climate. The mint NEVER "took over" or crowded out other plants. We always had fresh mint for tea & whatever else my mom wanted it for. I've wondered if planting mint near a leaky faucet made it dependent upon that water supply. I just know that the mint that my mom planted everywhere we lived never became invasive & never spread much more than a meter from the faucet it was planted near.

Anybody that wants mint can come pick some from my yard. I've lived here for 6 years and still cannot get rid of it. Listen to Kevin, NEVER NEVER plant this in the ground unless you want the entire field to be mint. There is no way to only grow 1 mint plant. It will take over whatever container it is in. If that container happens to be your yard then you just gave up the whole yard to mint. Containers and vigilance is what it takes to grow mint. You have been forewarned.

Mints, man. .__. Mints. Typically can't CONTROL them, but Texas just killed my catnip for the very first time, which I wouldn't have thought possible.

I swear it was spontaneous generation. That thing was really making like it was immortal, but ultimately it couldn't take the heat.

I can relate to the "cutting up rootballs feels like a crime" part lol. I recently repotted and split up some monsteras and I was puckering the whole time... I love the result but hated the process haha A question tho: since basil is also in the mint family I'm guessing that most of this video applies there too, is that correct?

I have tried growing mint for many years and I'm never successful. I've tried all kinds of flavours; nothing grows. And when I buy a new plant and leave in garden the slugs go; yippee she's brought lunch and dinner. I've tried little pots, big pots, terracotta and plastic pots. I would love a big bushy plant like you have.

Mint may grow itself but here in central GA I've got a catapillar or something that eats it so fast

When he tossed the cake of roots onto his soil I'm like "That's how you get more mint 😐"

A few years back our mint got out of the yard into the neighbors’ neglected patch of dirt along their fence. And since they dont so much as sweep along side there now 80% of the fence is lined with mint. It’s simultaneously the best and worst thing ever because no mater how much i yank out on my side of the fence theres still a trillion more shoots coming through. Its a serious weed.

I swear that mint doesn't like me, the variety that I actually want growing grows minimally, but the variety that I don't want has taken over my garden.

What do you do with the leftover leaves and sprigs from the mint extract? Just throw them in your compost bin?

Step one. Put mint in a container. Step two. Hope it doesn't escape.

My 8th grade art teacher gave us all a mint plant in a glass bowl for graduation. I had it until we moved my senior year and my dad dropped it and threw it away and carted it off to the dump site before he told me about it!

Why do you recommend growing in a black container? Here, in the southwestern iberian peninsula, csa climate, hardiness zone 10a, with summers average day temperatures being 37°C, going up to 45°C on some days it is a really bad idea to have anything that is black in your garden, its like inviting the sun to cook your plants roots
