Mint
From Wilderdom
Contents |
Our experience
We have one small-medium pot of mint with half a dozen stalks, dug up from growing wild near Tharwa, but clearly common Australian house mint washed down from Tharwa houses towards the Murrumbidgee River. It is rather heavy, clay-ey soil, and stuggling a bit. Will try repotting it and nurturing also in shadier spot for summer.
Mint releases the pleasant fragrance more so on contact and grows vigorously.
Ideally perhaps might be several varieties of mint on S-side (S-hemisphere) in pots, underneath espaliered everygreen fruit trees.
That way we would brush up against it.
