Grow Mint from a BEAT UP Hanging Basket or in Simple Window Boxes
Just grab just a sprig of mint:
Pull up by the roots and simply push it down into the potting soil in the basket.
Instead of pulling the mint up vertically, pull gently sideways and surprise!
You will start taking out mint plant after mint plant, all in a nice row along a big old root strand.
The very aspect of mint that makes it KILLER to remove from a garden when unwanted
makes it the PERFECT plant for reviving a sad and tired hanging basket on the quickie.
Why?
Well simple...that curvy piece of root fits around the edge of the basket just perfectly.
Each little mint plant will grow quickly and easily, creating a fast border all around the exterior of the basket.
So why can't you do this with any plant?? Why mint?
1. Mint acts like a weed. It grows anywhere, with little nutritional needs and in harsh environements.
2. Mint doesn't mind water, but doesn't need a ton. Less maintenance on baskets!
3. Mint can be shoved into the basket, walked away from and a week later the plant you thought was dead is ALIVE!
4. Mint grows UP, but also grows OUT meaning it will fill up a round basket quite nicely.
5. You can train mint to grow in and out of basket sides and poke down over and through the edges.
Basically, it is tough as nails, but pretty and smells DIVINE!
