I'm going to try that today as yearly my mint suffers from an onslaught of pests - here in Hollywood, California

[HectorAwol]

Yeah go for it! Do you really live in Hollywood? I went to California in 1995 but it was more San Fransisco way! Thanks for viewing!

@HectorAwol Nice video, im trying to grow some mint around the perimeter of my hot tub to help naturally keep rodents away. How did you plant the mint in your video in the stone? would like to do the same.

[HectorAwol]

Dig small hole in pebbles and then fill with a little pottng mix then plant mint plant. This retains moisture and nutrients around roots as well as pebbles aiding with drainage. Thank you.

I did never have problems concerning my mint. The advantage of the northern hemisphere?

[HectorAwol]
