Mint is a versatile plant that is suitable for decorating and seasoning some meat dishes, salads and even desserts.

In addition, mint is suitable for adding to drinks, as it gives an unforgettable and refreshing taste.

Many summer residents grow this aromatic herb themselves.

However, it is also very useful, as it has a calming effect.

But few people know about the danger that mint poses to the garden.

The whole point is that the plant grows quickly, takes over new territories. It is difficult to get rid of the roots that cover large areas.

But the problem can be prevented. To do this, it is necessary to make fences. Slate leaves dug into the ground will do.

It is also recommended to plant mint in separate containers, for example, in a bucket, so that the roots do not spread throughout the entire area.
