Mints

All the Mints are propagated by division of the plants
in spring or autumn. Lay the roots horizontally in
drills 2 inches deep, and in dry weather water the drills
before putting in the roots. The drills should be at least
a foot apart. Mint roots should not be left more than
three years in the same bed, for, apart from the fact
that the plants deteriorate, the roots spread down so
deep into the soil that they become difficult to eradicate.
