Getting Rid of Mint
Hi all,
I have a large planter that's been taken over by mint. I've now dug out the whole planter and pulled all of the mint plants and runners. My question is: is this good enough? If I miss a piece of runner, will it regrow and eventually take over again? How about the little hairlike rootlets? I'd like to avoid replacing all the dirt if possible.
Thanks!

I bought my mom a pot of mint a few years ago, and I couldn't believe how many pots she has of it now. Mint is a pretty easy herb to grow then, huh? My mom wishes basil is as easy to grow as mint.
