It is best to grow mint in the garden away from other plants so there is no competition for resources.

At the end of autumn, trim the entire plant and mulch it with rotted manure.

This will ensure you have a good harvest of mint in the spring.

Growing mint in a pot

You can also grow mint in a pot or container.

For example, if there is not enough free space in the garden.

Mint roots are quite large, so it is not advisable to grow the plant next to other plants.

For fertilizer, use compost or another special fertilizer.

You can grow some mint at home. For example, on a sunny window in the kitchen.

This way you'll always have mint on hand to add to desserts, drinks or tea.
