    aggressive spread and resilience to remove

    Many would argue that mint is an herb. But if you ever had your garden invaded by mint, you’ll definitely classify them under weed.

    Always plant mint in a pot. And if your neighbour has mint in their garden, you better have a 2m trench filled with concrete between their garden and yours.

        I love stumbling across random information like this. I had no idea that mint spread so aggressively - and will likely never need this information. But it’s fun to learn.

          Not only does it spread aggressively through it’s roots, but it also grafts onto almost anything. The roots connect to other plants and create new hybrid mints.
