If you have an old laundry sink sitting unused, it’s a great place to grow mint while keeping it under control! This one is concrete and weighs a ton, but plastic ones will work too. Comes with a built in drain hole. We set this one up on some concrete blocks because the last time around when it was just raised up an inch or so off the ground, the local tree roots grew up into it through the drain hole and hogged all the nutrients! Handy tip on mint varieties: this apple mint has a slightly fuzzy leaf and doesn’t suffer from “rust” (a kind of fungal disease) late in the summer like the non fuzzy varieties do. . . #mint #mintleaves #applemint #laundrysink #Greenthumb #instagarden #gardenersofinstagram #frommygarden #organicgarden #urbangardening #gardenideas #instagardening #organicgardener #urbangardens #bcgardener #organicgardens #urbangardeners #urbanorganicgardening #gardenhomestead #urbanhomestead #homesteadgardens #backyardhomestead #containergardening #containergardens #herbgarden #herbgardening #herbgardens #gardeningknowhow #gardeningforbeginners
