So i was a little dumb and planted mint straight in my garden last year, and it has spread like wildfire, is there any way to successfully rid of it, or do i have to just keep digging it up?

I would cut it and plant that part in the woods for an excitement. Once I did that till it grew so big I sold it in a yard sale for 50$!! It was so big it had to go in a cart. You can do that just to see.

I would love to but i live next to a college that has a conservatory type garden thing going on and i am afraid to mess that up, maybe my aunt would let me! (She has acres of forest) then id have more mint than i could ever imagine lol!!

Cool I have so much forest because there’s a canal behind my back yard. So much room. Sometimes I go and sneak around in the back.

There’s a house that has a child with a tree house. When he is not there I sneak into it and ride down the slide.
