Mint

[ski_tzo]

This may be covered somewhere else but im abit lazy and tired

I built a raised bed yesterday and put a few herbs in it mint being one of them. Should i dig it up and put in a pot and bury the pot to stop it taking over? Are most herbs as ferocious (shouldnt use words i dont know how to spell) as mint?

Im in work so im having nightmares of everything else in the bed being choked by the time I get home (Whenever that is)

Yes, you must put mint in a pot, unless you want it to strangle all your other plants. Likewise for Lemon Balm (melissa).

but it does take a while for the mint to take over, it spreads relly slowly besides it smells wonderful when you mow it, the smell is amazing. I have it growing everywhere in my garden and during the summer use the leaves to make chutney...
