[kremelko]

@Logicpratictitioner no they need a looot of sun so its the best time to plant it in spring

[logicpractitioner]

Does it matter what time of year you plant mint?

[SM7864]

@frd678: Seems the goldfish like the caterpillars even more than the caterpillars like the mint, gotta love nature!

[Willwaibel864]

Took over my grandmother's garden. I have to pull it out once a month for her XD

I grow mine (from cuttings of hers) in a big pot, and I pick a bunch of leaves off at a time and then dry them in the oven on 100 F for 20ish minutes.

[mozaks80]

How do I slow my mint down? It's going nuts! I try to get leaves to make tea but I cant get them fast enough

[Andyterranbase1]

@mozaks80 you can't mint grows like wildfire in a good soil base and with plenty of water and sun. I once had a plant yield about a 1/4 pound of leaves one year. it was great, but i just chew the leaves or eat them off the plant.

[mozaks80]

@Andyterranbase1: Cheers for the reply, but it looks like the caterpillars took care of it, hungry little buggers, i chopped the tree right back and purged the grubs and its growing back at its usually ballistic fashion :P

I planted some in a flower bed - it spread over into the lawn. Now when it's mowed it smells minty fresh.

At the moment theres mint growing in my underwear drawer. How do I get rid of it? Nothing seems to kill it.

Now I want to grow mint to see which strain most resembles Bubba and has the most crystals on the buds.

[artman40]

At the moment here's mint growing going on in my garden which are one of the easiest things to grow. I wonder what are the most potent mint species and strains where you can even see menthol crystals on leaves.

[CUBETechie]

[ed0985587]

[Hikki4Life]

I'm growing mint for some mojitos!

[1k1ll3rp0ll0]

mojitos ftw!

[teagan684]

I planted this stuff about a year ago, now I'm pulling the stuff out everywhere. You should do a bit on controlling the stuff. I think the chooks dig it up and move it around, just grows from there.

[spyknife]
