Default How to treat Mint plants

I've found mint is impossible to kill, no matter how much of it I pull out
it still comes back as soon as I turn my back!


It is very invasive. The best solution I've found is to grow it in an
old plastic bucket (with cracks/small holes in the bottom so it can
drain). The bucket isn't buried at all. There is always a plentiful
supply to pick.

We've finally managed to get rid of it from the herb border, but it has
been a chore, it comes back from the tiniest bit of root.
