I love this mint plant. It has grown like crazy. However, it is very
invasive and is shooting roots into neighboring plants and sprouting
everywhere and all around.
I learnt that it should be contained by planting in space with no-out. I
am thinking of planting it in an old Fish tank and bury the fish tank into
the ground. I inherited this fish tank (1.5 ft deep X 4 ft wide X 2 ft
high) when we
moved into this old house. Has anyone done this? What are the problems if
I do this?



I think it was garden writer Henry Mitchell who said that if you insisted on
growing mint, it should be done in a concrete cistern, sunken into the
ground. As far as burying a fish tank, please think about this for another 5
years before doing it. Sorry if this seems impolite, but it's an intensely
stupid idea.
