Does Mint Repel Pests?
Growing mint in my garden is a big win. Gardening in drought comes with its fair share of pests and irritating bugs. Mint is a powerhouse herb that I will use to keep these ‘pesty’ problems in check. Drought and the corresponding high temperatures create a warm environment for pests to thrive in the garden. High temperature makes it easy for them to increase in numbers exponentially. Keeping them in check during drought will be a task.
I bought some mint cuttings today to grow them in my garden. Growing mint from cuttings is a fast way to get them going in pots or planting beds. I removed the slower leaves and placed the cuttings in a container with clean water.
