Mint can act as a perfect addition to an herb garden or as a prank gift to a first-time gardener that you hate. So versatile!

    Even better as a prank gift, it's so notoriously hard to kill and quick spreading, they won't notice until it's too late. Hell, they'll probably think they're doing a great job, since it'll be thriving so long as they pay it the bare minimum of attention.

    I think some places do actually have some light restrictions in place, purely because it's so invasive it'll fight back against kudzu. It's just about a rung below kudzu on the difficulty to completely kill.

    Mint gets quite a few fungal root pathogens. Once those set in it will wipe it out in a few years.

    I don't recommend being near the field when they swath it. Clears your sinuses and burns your eyes.
