I've never heard of someone needing to re-purchase mint every year. I keep mine in an isolated bed that has no ability to reach the regular soil and I usually end up ripping out all but a few plants just to let it take over again. Correct. I buy them every year, let them grow for a couple of weeks before I start cutting off bunches for mai tai garnish. I don't have a flower bed or place to plant, though I could make one in the back yard. How does one make an isolated bed, especially one that would keep mint from getting out? Just curious.
