Well I know what to do if my gardener buddy ever pisses me off
Comment on Mint
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoMint is extremely hardy, isn’t picky about soil type, spreads quickly, and reproduces from the roots. If mint ever goes into the ground, your entire yard will very quickly be overtaken by it even if you start ripping it out as soon as you see it. It’s basically a weed that happens to taste good. Anyone who intends to grow it will keep it in above-ground pots instead. But even then, all it takes is a small sprig landing in the grass, and suddenly your entire lawn is starting to smell minty when you mow.

Toss Dandelion’s in there too. Also very hardy, spreads well, almost entirely edible.

Only in cold/temperate climates, try planting mint in a tropical climate and the thing will just die for whatever reason. I used to have a planter with it, then I moved it a bit, to a spot where there was less shade, and the thing died in days.

My grandma’s garden got a mint infestation, and I simply rip some up and make fresh mint tea whenever I visit :)
It’s really really, good
