Growing Mint
When growing mint plants, it's essential to sow the seeds correctly. Mint seeds can be planted in containers inside or directly into the garden once the risk of frost has passed.
For the best results you seed compost or well drained soil to pot the seeds. Keep the soil moist throughout the whole process.
Sprinkle the seeds on the surface and lightly cover them with soil, keeping them in partial shade until they germinate. Consistent moisture is key, so regularly check the soil to prevent it from drying out.
Final Growing Position
Once seedlings have established, it’s crucial to consider the final growing position of your mint plants.
Mint is a vigorous perennial that can quickly spread, so ensure a spacious area for it to thrive without overcrowding other plants. If planting in a garden bed, leave ample space between mint and neighbouring plants to prevent competition for nutrients and water.
