Meandering Mint

The problem with mint is that it likes to spread…. I learned the hard way! My garden blunder has taught me that mint needs to be contained, not let loose to meander and mingle with other plant friends. Under the soil mint develops quickly into a large mass of tangled root, making clean up very labor intensive. These photos of before and after show my lesson learned. I have heard other gardeners say that mistakes we make in the garden seldom happen twice. This gardening mistake won’t happen again in my garden and hopefully not yours!

I found this technique very beneficial with my Cannabis plants as well. Not only do the individual pots (no pun intended) make it nice for the roots but it makes them easily transported when the presence of prying eyes or policemen stop bye.
