The way to control mint is to plant it in an open area of the garden not in
a border or next to the house. The soil needs to be loose and sandy so that
it does not compact. Every year simply remove 90% of it. In sandy soil it
will have runners at or near the surface that are easily removed with
little digging. It's not at all like the chore of digging it up out of a
border in clay soil. At least it's easier dig up than bamboo.
