Meanwhile kudzu is over here like.. what trees?

I've read that kudzu is nutritious, comparable with potatoes, and is cultivated in China.

My dad used to cook it when I was a kid. Tastes like butterbeans.

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

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.

Why are my neighbors mad? They have all the mint they could want now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Exactly: neighbors can stay mad. Mint is cooler than neighbors arguably (& chemically).

Not to mention that mosquitos hate mint.

I did this once. Only way to get rid of it was to sell my house.

Tenants take note, give your landlord a lovely gift of established ground mint when you leave your rental!

Mint

Mint everywhere.

Don't worry just let my dad do the gardening. He killed the mint, the rhubarb, the blueberries, the redberries and the apple tree with his genius ideas!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

I planted mint in a pot. And the roots went out of the bottom of the pot and between the tiles the pot was on, into the ground.

Mint is fine grass is the devil.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

It's over there, next to my horseradish.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Fuck mint, I spend months trying to get rid of it from my last place

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

I planted a horseradish. Harvesting it often, don't see the issue.
