Default Growing Mint

I use a three to four gallon container which sits in a saucer type container. Mint loves moist soils and this assures you that it will not dry out between watering. My containers sit on the side of my patio on concrete! You don’t want it near soil except what you have in the container. Fill the container leaving three or four inches at the top of the container. You don’t want the mint growing over the lip/edge of the container; this provides some control of the plant.. You say you are going to be using a lot of the mint; that is good in that it needs to be trimmed back often. Your trimming should take care of any seed heads which reduces the chance of seed getting into the garden or the lawn.
Happy Gardening!
