    If you want mint & don’t care about other plants, then I don’t see a problem. Some people might consider its low maintenance effort a good thing. 🤷

      So mint is highly invasive? I was wondering what the elite knowledge was. TBH my guess was that there’s a hallucinogenic plant that looks like mint.

        There is actually a hallucinogenic plant that looks kind of similar to mint, but I think they’re referring to the fact that mint chokes other plants out and just sticks around and keeps coming back.

        They spread and are really really hard to fully kill

        Source: I have no idea why my mint is still alive. It’s waterlogged for half the year and neglected the other half

      Its ability to choke out the weeds at my rental, thereby reducing the amount of weeding i need to do, is much appreciated. Also goes well with roast lamb.
