I love pretty much any herb. I do a lot of cooking & have a raised bed of herbs in the back yard that I can pick from all year long whenever my little heart desires. Of all the herbs, mint is my very favorite. Get care tips here & also see how I plant my new Cuban & Syrian Mints in a container.

It’s planted in a terra cotta container otherwise it would take over raised bed as well as part of the garden. That’s how mint grows – vigorously without regards for any of the space around it. If you’re new to the world of planting mint and don’t want a total takeover, here are 2 words: contain it. There are SO many varieties of mint it makes my head spin. How in the world is a girl supposed to choose just 1 spearmint?! Regardless of all the choices, this is a plant with purpose. It’s found in the culinary, medicinal, cosmetic and fragrance industries as well as in homes everywhere. I know 1 thing for sure: I’ll always have it in my garden. In a pot that is!

Such a helpful video!
Thank you very much!

How much mint can I take from the plant and how long does it take to grow back? I'm scared of consuming more than I grow...

Hi, I have mint plants and this is the first year that my mint has flourished and lived for many months. I want to protect them as it gets colder but I can't bring them inside because I lack space near any lighted areas. I thought about a mini sheltered greenhouse but I live about 20 feet from the bay and it gets really cold when the wind comes off the water. Please suggest how I can keep my mint safe for many months to come.

spiders hate mints, thanks for the teaching:)

*never touch a plant, put gloves on because your skin oil blocks fresh air. :)

How fast would it take a single mint plant to spread to about 8 feet.

Thanks for the great video.

Can you recommend a soil brand that can be bought at Wal-mart or Home Depot? I don't have good luck finding a good one.

Wonderful videos

I think the worm nutes thing is called the no till method cos u don't use any bought nutes:)

I'm trying sage mint aloe spring onions rosemary and some others I forget and strawberries all just in water as an experiment but the aloe I love so it has an air stone:)

why not just put worms on and all waste veg-composted :)

peace

hi, I bought a mint plant, it's a peppermint, at first it has large leaves when I bought it, but as time pass by the leave started to dry and the new stems and new small leaves are dying.. 😞 what to do with it? I'm losing hope on my mint plant.

thanks

+joyusgardening is it possible to breed a mint that dosent produce seeds such as chocolate mint and breed a mint that does produce seeds and get the chocolate mint and speermint seed hybrid

Great video im planting my mind but im kinda skeptical i don't if i use the right potting soil, i bought yesterday miracleGro Garden.. its that okay? i am new in gardening... i need ur idea thanks. .😊

Enjoyed this. I have a mint plant, but the leaves on mine are tiny. Not sure if that is because of the type of mint that it is. Perhaps, I will replant it in a bigger pot as you did in the video. I haven't been eating my mint. Wasn't really sure how to actually. I mostly wanted it for the scent. You mentioned mint water. That sounds refreshing.
