Our soil is almost entirely clay and rock to the point that most grasses also fail to grow. I wouldn't mind something nice like mint or another invasive plant if it meant actually having something grow at all...

What if I want a lawn full of mint

We put a few mint plants in a large concrete planter and it filled the whole planter in one season. It does keep mice, cats, and mosquitos away.

Depends on where you live. Mint does have limits. It really dislikes dry and cold. We've planted it several times here and it's quite difficult to keep it alive. Our growing season is quite short so it's a bit depressing to have it die so quickly.

Mint, not even once.

There is a reason why I planted my piperita in a pot, far off the ground.

Everytime I now the grass it smells minty!

So we moved.

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

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 planted Achillea, by the way.

We did it like 15 years ago, it took years to finally get rid of it...

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.

It's over there, next to my horseradish.
