If you try this Kate please plant the mint in a bucket,not the soil.
Mint is all-pervasive and once planted is very difficult if not impossible
to eradicate. As for the mice, sorry I do not know.

I don't have a meeces in the greenhouse problem, it was just something I had
not heard of before, I do however agree with Sam about the mint growing all
over the place. I have a bed of assorted mints that grow into the lawn and
smell wonderful when the lawn is cut, I am happy with that, no problem
there.
