Fuck mint, I spend months trying to get rid of it from my last place

It's gonna smell really nice when you mow your mint lawn.

IDK. I like the wild mint patch in our lawn. Want some mint? Just go grab some mint.

It's over there, next to my horseradish.

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...

I planted some mint in a large pot, at an off-grid shack on a New England beach... two decades ago. That shit is still thriving to this day, despite zero maintenance and/or care and numerous harsh winters!

I've planted mint, strawberries, and raspberries. But this is the last time I'll get to see how far they've made it. I planted them to go to war with the buffle grass, tumble weeds, and tree of heaven. I can still drive by in a few years and see how its going.

My buddy warned me about the mint the pervious owners planted, and I pulled it right away. It was right by our basement entrance so I frequently peer in and inspect for mint shoots. I think there must be a buried barrier or something (like landscaping cloth) preventing it from spreading outside the bed it was in. I found a small sprig 4 years after pulling everything I could find.

Pair it with raspberries

Mint ~~plant~~ field.

FTFY

Our soil is almost entirely clay and rock to the point that most grasses also fail to grow. I wouldn't mind something nice like mint or another invasive plant if it meant actually having something grow at all...

ENJOY THE MINT EVERYONE

Maybe add some white cover, some comfrey, sunchoke, raspberries, and you've got a permaculture paradise!
