Mint is easy to care for and repels some pests but spreads very aggressively. Plant it in some box or container you are okay with being taken over.

Probably also worth knowing that spearmint and peppermint are different flavors that come from different varieties. Not everybody likes both

And cut off any flowers before they bloom, otherwise even if in a box it’ll spread.

So, if I don't cut flowers, i'll got more mint ?

EntheoNaut@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 22d

Yes. The flowers drop seeds that could spread in places you didn’t intend.

So a low maintenance garden I can eat? I'm not seeing a downside.

Well I have it planted myself so I agree. I think it's just bad manners to not warn someone about an aggressive spreading plant when recommending they plant it

Once you plant mint in your garden, you'll never get rid of it

Do not wash sensitive areas with mint anything. Trust me, that's a kind of fresh you do not want.

I've got mint shower gel (I didn't buy it). It just burns your dick and asshole. I genuinely have no idea why mint shower gel is even a thing. What's next, hot chili shower gel?

I had a chef tell me this, that mint is the most human adapted of all the herbs. You can find it in cigarettes, in perfumes, in salads, toothpaste, jelly, ointments, etc etc. I never stopped to think about it, and then quite badly wanted a mint cigarette.
