I got chocolate mint in a 100 gallon rubbermaid container with my dwarf peach trees
and it jumped the pot into the next one. But it is sitting on concrete so I dont
worry about it getting away. Ingrid

Do you have any idea how invasive mint is??? Within a couple of
years, you will have your 100' of length and also 100' of depth! Now,
if you're planning to put them in secure containers almost buried
into the ground, it might work for you.

I have about a dozen varieties of mints (kept solely as novelties)
and I've learned to keep them very much under control! Once they
escape, it takes a lot of work to get them back. But they are lovely,
and yes, chocolate mint is one of my favourites, too.
