    THANK YOU for bringing up how invasive mint can be! My husband wasn't fully aware and now we have a goal of containers just for mint and other herbs 💛

    Thanks for mentioning the partial sun thing - we live nextdoor to Northern Italy, Slovenia so we do have cold winters but it gets very hot in the summer and I had the feeling my mint was pretty unhappy with full sun then - this is the first time someone actually mentioned it, and I know Im not juat imagining it. Lots of other useful information too, thanks!! ❤

    Thank you, finally getting my new home next week and we have a big garden, been waiting to plant things, one of them is mint as I love making mocktail drinks, but never use all the mint up so it goes wasteful. I did try chopping it up, freezingit but did not work so great to know you can grow but don't grow directly in the garden, better in a pot. So this is my first garden project to do.

    I have a standard sized bath tub for mint in the garden. Lots of growing space and it can't roam.
    A bathtub makes an excellent wicking bed to keep a damp soil. I've also done hugelkultur bathtub beds ☺️

    One cutting from a mint, remove the lower leaves, immerse in water and in 3 days it's rooting. I have over a dozen Mint plants from just one store bought live potted Mint.
    I also grew Spearmint and Peppermint from seed.

    I'm gonna try out the cloning method with market bought mint, let's see how it turns out in a little pot.
    It would be very helpful if you captioned uncommon words such as the name of the insecticide that was mentioned.

    Just like the roots of Raspberries…They will take over the whole garden 😳🥴 I didn’t realize there were so many varieties of mint. I currently have spearmint , peppermint and sweet-mint in a small space on my balcony . Hopefully they’ll grow strong enough to hang dry some stems for tea.😊

I've been trying to grow my mint from seeds for the past two years (both pepper and spearmint) but every time I do, they don't germinate or grow. I've followed everything carefully but still yield no results. Am I doing something wrong?

    I used to use an old washing up bowl for mint as it can take over the garden if directly planted. We have a lot of wild corriander growing in our garden but not sure if it is safe to eat? I've also seen some cow parsley is that safe to eat?

      Yes…it’s a Neonicotinoid pesticide. Really really harmful to bumblebees, bees and other insects (and other wildlife). Avoid at all costs…..it’s really not worth it.
