I have the opposite issue as you, I can't make my mint go away! I planted some years ago and because I occasionally move soil around, it's coming up very aggressively in some places. I've dug up entire 5 X 3 beds trying to pick out every bit of runner I could find! Lol
That's the problem my grandmother has, it's creeping into her vineyard. She and you should get Coturnix Quail, that mint I put in my aviary, all that's left is four stalks and now they're trying to dig it up!

What's the best way to wash mint- or any herb for that matter? Will any of the taste be washed out if I just give it a good rinse?
