Napalm, basically. Then, more napalm, followed by Agent Orange. :-)
Seriously...the stuff's a bitch to get rid of. I had just two spots in my
yard with mint many years ago, and no matter what I did, it kept coming
back. What do you want to plant there eventually? There may be some ground
covers that'll crowd it out, given enough time. And napalm.

I have a section my my yard that is covered with mint. It's an area
about 10' x 50'. I want to get rid of the stuff this fall. How can I make
sure that all the rhizomes are gone! I'd like to plant something else
there so I don't want to use chemicals that will not allow future
plants from growing there.
