Simple Tricks for Growing Mints Successfully

Plant mints in rich, moist soil and place them in partial shade to prevent the soil from drying out too quickly. To deter pests like aphids and flea beetles, companion plant mint with alliums or dill. Water mints consistently to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize mints in the spring with a balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth. Regularly prune mint plants to promote bushier growth and prevent them from becoming leggy.
