Unless all you want to harvest is mint, it's not a good idea to plant mint in the ground. It takes over the whole field.

    I was promised this when I planted mint in ground at my old house, and sure enough, the mint took hold. Alas, my insatiable appetite for mojitos was too much demand for the mint to sustain and I eradiacted it through overharvesting.

    Oooh. I knew this but for some reason my brain went from "Th ground? Like soil?" to "if I'm not supposed to grow it in a pot of soil, am I meant to grow it on some sort of trellis setup?"
