You're going to battling mint for decades to come.

My mom made that same mistake more than 20 years ago. The original plants are long gone but I am still dealing with mint in my garden and just everywhere. It takes over the lawn.

Fortunately it is isolated to what is essentially a big planter box full of gravel (a bog for the pond I mentioned) and I can trim any of the tendrils reaching over the edge.

If they release a lot of seeds or something, then it was nice knowing you. ๐Ÿซก
