How to grow mint: 1) accidentally find mint in your garden 2) do nothing 3) it grows out of control 4) help

@FrozEnbyWolf150 7 ай бұрын

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.

Rofl, I rescued a poor pathetic mostly dead seedling for .25 cents. Planted it in a similar space, later found out I'm sensitive to spearmint. So now I break out in hives every time I have to pull it. Lol. Oops.

About 10 years ago I started having issues with my stomach, I was always nauseous . someone told me to use mint. Since then, I make tea every day, I just cut a couple stems & put them in hot water. the taste & after taste was a bit weird at 1st. but I'm used to it now and like it, now if I miss a day or 2, my stomach goes into an uproar.

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!!

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'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.

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.
