Mint Roots
Spent yesterday clearing out an area of mint that had gone
wild. Collected up all the roots in a bag to take to recycling. Looked for it today and swmbo told me she had tidied up and emptied the bag onto the compost heap for me! What are my chances of being able to use this compost (autumn 2015 would be the time), or have I got to just get rid of the whole lot? -- Roger T 700 ft up in Mid-Wales |

Very few roots survive the compost heap - bluebells are the most likely to, in my experience. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Had a mango seedling come up under my courgettes last summer.
