Put the mint on concrete. If the roots get through the pot into the dirt, you'll have mint forever, it tends to take over. Spite plant it if you get evicted. Keep the mint in a pot, a big one if needs be, but a pot.

Good point. Not sure about a pot, at least for the moment, but I'll definitely move it onto the concrete and a little bit away from the edges. Luckily if it does start spreading, we don't really use the section of garden it'd most likely spread too because it doesn't get much sun, so I could probably poison it if it ever came down to it
