Growing herbs in your garden can be satisfying. Seeing the way your herbs grow from seed to a plant with sprouting leaves and budding flowers, smelling the aroma of each herb, the way they all grow well together as one beautiful, happy herb family.
Then along comes your mint, which is EVERYWHERE.
Mints – which usually symbolizes virtue due to its fresh, mountain-spring flavor and aroma – are actually easy to plant and is useful for a lot of dishes; but it is also a voracious grower. If a mint plant had a mind, I would say that the aim for their existence is world (or in this case, garden) domination. It even has a killer instinct – the seemingly mild-scented mint will happily take and choke the life out of every herb in the same plot it is in.
Lesson number 1: Contain the power of expansion of the mint. Try to keep it in a large pot, or bury the pot in the flowerbed. Apply some mulch to the bed (or around the said pot) to discourage rooting. The mulch would also help in locking in much-needed nutrients and moisture for the roots.
Lesson number 2: You can grow mint in any type of soil and sun, as long as it doesn’t dry out.
Lesson number 3: Rust is a deadly and contagious (for plants) disease for mint plants. Look out for orange blobs (that look like rust) on the underside of your mint leaves. Remove the leaf immediately, taking care not to let it come into contact with other leaves and plants. If a lot of leaves are affected though, chop the whole plant down and burn it – this is so that the leaves won’t infect other plants around it. Remove the soil and clean the pot with disinfectant before planting a different mint plant.
Lesson number 4: Plant mint at least a foot to 15 inches apart. If you are planting different varieties, put them in different beds or pots to avoid cross pollination.
Mint is a wonderful and sprawling herb. If you care for it as you would a child (by checking up on them every once in a while), it would love you back by giving you a bountiful harvest.
