Maybe plant some bamboo to help it
I have some kudzu i could sell you
I wonder what happens if you plant kudzu and bamboo in the same spot, endlessly climbing plant tower?
BET YOU WANT TO SELL ME LOW GRADE COPPER INGOTS TOO Ea-nāṣir
And some blackberry, too! We could have blackberry mojitos made with bamboo muddlers.
Tbf it would be an awesome garden with endless blackberry and mint! can even smell.it
Now that you mention it, I wouldn’t mind living in that environment.
Evil.
bamboo is the most evil of all of them for sure lol
Strawberries too. If you don’t plant them in containers you’re gonna have a bad time.
I’ve tried to plant strawberries and they just get smothered by other weeds.
or a good time…
I could never get them grow tho
Meanwhile kudzu is over here like… what trees?
I’ve read that kudzu is nutritious, comparable with potatoes, and is cultivated in China.
Huh, I didn’t know that. Neat.
Goats.
Sweet home Alabama…
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!
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!
One time I did that, and was horrified to see that the next day the gardner removed it and disposed of the body.
It was my baby and it was literally choking itself in every pot I planted it because it would just grow until the entire pot was roots.
I now know that it had to be done, this is what it means to be an adult. To know that sometimes murdering a baby mint is for the greater good T_T
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.
Also catnip, but with catnip there’s a 50% chance neighborhood cats will show up and roll on it until it dies.
Bees seem to love the catnip that grows in my garden at least. I think last summer I counted 8 different kinds of bees enjoying it.
(Catnip is a type of mint)
I’ve planted mint, strawberries, and raspberries. But this is the last time I’ll get to see how far they’ve made it. I planted them to go to war with the buffle grass, tumble weeds, and tree of heaven. I can still drive by in a few years and see how its going.

You know what’s also invasive?

The last people to own our house planted this stuff in the ground. It’s also called fish mint, because it smells like fish when you cut it.
I once bought fish mint at an asian grocery store thinking it was regular mint, and it was quite the surprise when I tried it.
That must have been quite the shock.
That’s what that shit is? I though it was some generic weed I had a hard time getting rid of. Great. Another invasive to deal with. Just killed a tree of heaven the other day, too.
Your own private morsel of the sea.
It’s gonna smell really nice when you mow your mint lawn.
The dryer at my parents house vented into a mess of mint. Laundry made the backyard smell great.
Fuck mint, I spend months trying to get rid of it from my last place
I planted some mint in a large pot, at an off-grid shack on a New England beach… two decades ago. That shit is still thriving to this day, despite zero maintenance and/or care and numerous harsh winters!
ENJOY THE MINT EVERYONE
Maybe add some white cover, some comfrey, sunchoke, raspberries, and you’ve got a permaculture paradise!
You expect them to survive in a mint-infested ground?
I didn’t realize how raspberries propagated until after I’d planted it in my tiny bed. The fucker spends every spring plotting world domination.
Fun fact: you can peel and eat young raspberry canes! Harvest when green and flexible, eat raw or steamed. Same for most blackberries and such, as far as I know.

It’s over there, next to my horseradish.
