20 Best Growing Conditions For Mint (2023 Updated)

The Mighty Mint Non-Toxic Insect and Pest Control Peppermint Oil Natural Spray for Spiders, Ants, and More is a natural solution with highly concentrated peppermint oil spray that is intended to keep insects away naturally while not being harmful to people and pets.

I loved the idea of not having to worry about toxic pesticides that are harmful to my dogs and children, and I was excited to give this product a try. This product comes in a handy, ready to use spray bottle and has a milk-like appearance.

The peppermint scent is quite pleasant! For best results the bottle states to use every 2-3 days, which I thought was a little bit often for an insect control product. I used this spray around my entrance and patio doors to help prevent insects from entering my home.

I also decided to spray the edges of my patio’s ceiling, where I found spiders hiding and staying close to the warmth of the house during this time of the year, now that it starts getting cooler. I sprayed this spray directly onto the spiders and their webs, and I noticed the spiders scatter immediately, which was great.

I was excited and hopeful for this solution to be effective, but sadly it was not what I expected. The spiders did not leave the area, and to my surprise and disappointment, they returned right back to the same spot by the next day after using this product.

The bottle is quite small and I used a lot of the product during just the first use, and the product is not as effective as I thought it would be, so I would not recommend this product.

Love this product. Not only does it smell wonderful but I haven’t seen any rodents since I have been using it. Initially when I use this, I mix it stronger than the directions say for about a week. Then I use as the directions say for another week or 2 depending on if I see any signs of rodents.

Then I use once weekly to make sure they remember not to come near our doors. So far they have been staying away. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a natural way of keeping rodents away.

With the onset of the pandemic, rats have been all over NYC, and for the first time ever, consistently showing up on my balcony. Since I began using Mighty Mint earlier this summer, I have not seen one rat, nor any droppings left behind.

Absolutely nothing else was working. Pellets, traps, etc. I put two cups of Mighty Mint and water on either side of my balcony, and no droppings, no sight of rats, nothing. And this is NYC during a pandemic! I’m very pleased by the results!.

Although this product is a bit on the pricier side it works. Every time I spray it it definitely keeps not only any rodents away but also the neighbors cats who tend to think that our yard is there’s I highly recommend this if you want to get rid of any unwanted animals.

I started this mushroom kit around the 13th or 14 of July. After a week of nothing I started getting discouraged but eneded up spraying waaaay more than it recommends(the air is VERY dry in my home)and after a couple more days it finally started showing signs of growth! My 5 year old and myself watched and waited patiently and these things really started to grow fast! If your grow space is dry I highly reccomend getting a humidifier or covering it with some plastic like we did to keep in moisture cause these things love humidity and will dry out super fast if you’re not careful.

I also kept a small fan close by for my other plants so that probably contributed to dryness but also the size as well. We finally harvested the biggest one today and threw it in some eggs. My kid doesn’t like eggs or veggies much but he ate half of my plate! So yummy!! Definitely give these a try especially if you have young ones who will enjoy watching them grow fast!.

My kit was actually missing directions and the little spray bottle which was disappointint. I am on the 7th day and unable to stand the box upright yet because the water leaks everywhere. I don’t believe these are normal issues and am willing to overloom it because the kit is growing some amazing mushrooms.

The directions can be found on their website and have better video directions than any paper directions would be. It is soo much fun to watch them grow. They are dense and there is a lot of them growing.

I have never eaten an oyster mushroom but am looking forward to it in a couple more days or so. I highly recommend this kit to grow some mushrooms.

I wanted to love this. I grow mushrooms all the time, and this seemed like a fun, easy way to get my nephew into gardening a little. But it was a bust. I purchased a test kit to try out before gifting him one, and I’m glad I did.

There were full grown and dried mushrooms in the box outside of the substrate, not a great sign but not necessarily a problem, so I soaked it and cared for it according to the directions (which were simple and clear enough that I think kids could follow them,) and a few pinned but only a sparse scattering that didn’t mature.

Since in theory it’s a two crop box I opened the other side and tried again, with the same extremely disappointing results. Maybe the kit I got was really old, but I’d guess it’s more likely that these are produced in batches large enough that the occasional kit with poorly distributed spores makes it out into the world.

For that reason I’m giving two stars even though I got zero mushrooms out of it. Oysters are easy to grow typically, (I have 3 other varieties going currently) and impressive, so I can imagine the successful kits are a lot of fun.

It’s a great idea. It’s just a bummer to get a dud, so I’ll figure something else out for the kid but I wouldn’t steer anyone away from this product if they wanted to give it a try.

Ordered 5×5 gallon bags, received 5×1 gallon bags, hassle return for $12 drop shipped from Amazon ordered on Amazon 5×5 gallon bags, received 5×30 gallon bags!! Going to big box store and hand pick them myself! Bags were ok but can’t use any of the 10 I have.

When starting small tender plants, one of the dangers is anaerobic action in pot which will produce a sewage smell in the soil when one waters a bit too much. Fabric pots avoid this danger by insuring great aeration.

bags R strong,1 handle can lift when full with damp potting soil, seam small for 7 gallons, but will grow a 6 foot “tomato” plant with ease! work as described, almost can’t over water, I ordered more 4 next yr.

This is my first indoor grow, first tent, first DWC. I have outdoor grow exp in the cold north so it’s pretty exciting being able to control the climate and nutrients for my plants. I’m legal to grow so I’m into things now.

The tent is the 36x36x70 incher which needs a 6 inch inline fan to keep up with the Tsw2000 LED. I crowned the light out in the tent so I’m going to have to rehang my light. It gets hotter than balls in the tent so I’m using an Arctic Blast AC and humidifier externally as well as blow fan.

No way can this tent disguise as a suit closet or whatever they’re saying someone who doesn’t know what it is would miss it. The tent looks like it’s alive with the fans and AC humidifier working. You can see the tent breathing.

It has a nice zipper which I’ve waxed for smoother and surer operation. I don’t recommend anyone else doing this however. There was 3-4 holes in the tent brand new which I gorilla taped.

Terrible!!!! No instructions bit still pretty simple to put together. Broken corner pieces. Very poorly made, frame does not make a box because corner pie es are so poorly make. Very disappointed!!!!

High quality tent. Lowest price. Thick heavy canvas tent. Reflective inside. Quality stitching. Heavy duty zippers. Removable tray for easy clean up. And the best part is this is the only tent I’ve found with metal poles.

Most others are cheap plastic and more money. Super easy assembly unless you are missing your thumbs and use a drool cup. Super affordable. AAA++++.

Great product! The scent is beautiful, and I can smell it all day, yet it’s light enough that it’s not overpowering. After the very first use, it left my hair shiny, soft, full of body and with zero frizz! I use this shampoo in conjunction with the same conditioner, and I really, really love the results! I was a loyal Aubrey Organics customer for years, and when they shut their doors, I was looking for a new shampoo, and this one is it! Love everything about it.

This is and always will be my favorite lotion. Ritual smells so good, it takes me back to my high school years, yet it is not an overpowering scent. With the pandemic it was the use of Ritual Body Lotion on my hands that got me interested in Andalou products.

I had tried so many products on my poor cracked and bleeding hands to try to get some relief and it was with just 1 application of Ritual that my hands were back to normal. This lotion is so good for your skin plus it has that wonderful light scent that I love.

I love Andalou products, and this cream is no exception. It goes on smelling like mint and rosemary, but the one that lingers is the patchouli. So that’s the headline. The thing, the scent is VERY strong.

I put a tiny amount — like a quarter the size of your average green pea — on the back of my hand and I was still smelling the patchouli hours later and after several hand washings. It’s one thing when we’re all home.

But if you plan to leave the house, are sensitive to scents, and/or want to be considerate of anyone else who reacts to scents. my suggestion is you either skip this cream altogether, or dilute it heavily into a second unscented cream before using.

Essentially, treat it like perfume and not a cream.

I have two homes that have many deer in both neighborhoods. I found this product about three years ago and it has allowed me to plant many plants I love including many hydrangeas and hostas. I use it at least every two weeks.

The scent is nice and it’s important to me that it causes no harm to animals or the environment. I’ve told many friends about the product.

I bought this product at my local hardware store in total desperation. Everything that I had previously tried–fencing, blood, Deer Scram, “deer resistant plantings,” etc. –had failed to deter those rodents on hooves.

I took the “I Must Garden Deer Repellent” home without any real expectation that it would save my plants. So imagine my surprise, my delight! when it worked. and keeps on working. I sprayed all of my delicious-to-deer perennials and shrubs with this stuff on a warm dry afternoon, allowing plenty of time for it to dry on the foliage before sunset.

That was three weeks ago, and I still haven’t had deer damage on those plants. The deer have been back, though: my black raspberries that are supposed to be deer-resistant were eaten to the ground two days ago; but then, I didn’t spray them with this stuff.

Sigh. Another very attractive thing about this product is that it’s not a toxic chemical. It’s a mixture of things like clove oil, cinnamon oil, garlic, and fish oil–so it’s fine for kids (including those who pretend they’re deer and nibble on your plants) and pets.

So, five stars for this. Happy spraying!.

I live in an area with a great deal of different wildlife And no fences and I also like to garden. It is sometimes next to impossible to have anything grow before it gets eaten to the ground. This is the first formula I have found that actually keeps deer and rabbits away from my landscaping.

It is a lot of work to spray everything on my property but it is worth it. I haven’t seen deer around my house the entire summer. I recommend both the spice and mint scents. I use them in tandem.

This by far one of my favorite blends. I originally purchased it to help my 13 yr old son with autism to help calm him when he has behaviors and have found it helps me chill out too so have since added it to an inhaler I got for myself.

Nothing beats taking a “mommy” moment in the bathroom and inhaling this while closing my eyes. I enjoy the scent, it reminds me of laundry days, I’ve always enjoyed the smell of fresh laundry so I find myself reaching for it to diffuse often.

Thanks you everyone at PT for always such outstanding customer service, affordable products and an array of options that anyone can find what they are looking for. The blog they have so many ideas and suggestions I am just so grateful I found them!.

I bought this a few years ago. I always buy this brand. Sometimes on Zulily others on amazon. I was getting ready for a wedding. My son was younger at the time and doing something he shouldn’t. Being a mom, you never get a chance to do things alone.

So as I was curling my hair, I turned my head to tell him to stop and subsequently SINGED my face! I had a NICE burn mark. A few days later we were at a picnic and I was complaining to another mom about my burn.

She shared she used lavender oil and she never scarred. I used vitamin e and lavender oil and THANK THE LORD NO SCAR. Since this point, I have become a LAVENDER obsessed person.

Great white is an amazing product! Easy to use, affordable, and after using it for the first time I could tell you that I don’t ever want to grow without it again. It has become a mandatory part of my nutrient regimen and I recommend it whole heatedly.

With this beneficial bacteria living in my root system, my roots took off like none I’ve seen before! Bigger, healthier roots mean bigger healthier plants! I was also able to increase the dosage of nutrients without burning the plants at all.

I couldn’t be happier with this product. Use it one time and you will most likely agree with me. 5-Star rating. Outstanding!.

This is the best bio-additive I have found. Always healthy roots and a definite increase in yield over non-inoculated plants. Use in conjunction with root pruning containers to utilize all the soil and end up with a “brick” of roots.

Just sprinkle on root ball when re-potting and presto! – the magic happens. You can’t go wrong.

Big bud is definatly worth it. I would highly recomend big bud its one of the best things i could have done for my plants. I have grown without it and i can tell that it really works. I used 2ml and i literaly saw my plants sprouting nugs and every plant i put it in it starts to grow very big by the next day.

i literaly saw results overnight. At first i was nervouse becouse other vitamins have hurt my plants but big bud its very safe i use it weekly and its specially formulated for big stronger buds and the pros and many cannabis cup winners always choose big bud.

The bottle comes with clear instructions and i havnt had any problems just good results. I will continue to use big bud my plants love it very much and its worth it. A must have.

I found this product looking for a cheap blooming solution for some plants around the yard and in the garden. I didnt want a big bottle so i decided to give AN a try because it was under $10. It’s a weak solution (bloom starter) with a NPK ratio of only (0-1-3).

But as weak as it is, it still works well without affecting your plants in a negative way even if given more than the recommended dose while watering. I found out that these ingredients in Big Bud are necessary to help the roots of plants grow faster too, which is key to healthy plants above ground.

We are geting great results from our tower so far! We also purchased the caster wheel kit, which has allowed us to move the tower under our porch roof during heavy storms. Not sure it would have survived the hail otherwise.

Just planted a Fall garden, so hoping to get a harvest or two before the cold arrives.

Yes they are expensive but these towers are well built, easy to assemble, look good even in our front yard and grow lots of veggies and strawberries. We use the worm composting tube in the center and I’m beginning to love those little red fellas.

Honestly, the wife and I are thinking about purchasing a second Garden Tower in the near future (just waiting for a good sale price.

I’ve had two of these towers for my 5 acre property for 7 years. Despite having two 50’×30′ greenhouses it is always my go to, and is the best system I’ve ever used. I HIGHLY recommend it!

IšverstiShow in original languageSo far the product seems to be working. I am using it in my Corvette that seems to have been invaded several times by some small critters that like to find any tissues available, chew them up and spread throughout the car.

I was fearful that eventually they would start destroying other parts such as seats, wires under the dash or inside the engine area. I sprayed liberal amounts in the interior, the trunk area, inside the engine compartment and even the tires as I have been told they often find entry access by climbing up on the tires.

So far it appears to be working but it has only been a week since applied. If you like to smell of peppermint it certainly leaves a pleasant scent in the car. On top of that it also does a good job of clearing my sinus condition! I plan to reapply the spray again once a week for about a month then wait to see if any further invasions take place.

We’ll see.

IšverstiShow in original languageI like the smell of his product and will see if it is effective in the coming months. However there weren’t any instructions really on how to use the product. And the spray mechanism did not actually work so I had to find another bottle to put this item into to affectively distribute its contents.

That was a big inconvenience and I also spilled some of the contacts transferring them from container to container.

IšverstiShow in original languageI had high hopes, but this didn’t work at all. It didn’t repel any raccoons, and I’m very excessive in the amount of spray I used. I accidentally sprayed a raccoon on the butt because I was expecting them to move.

They just kept looking at me. I feel guilty trying to get rid of them, but they shred everything I have outside, even my bike seat!.

EXCELLENT. Beautiful peppermint plants! Ordered 10. They arrived quickly with the BEST packing I have ever seen, and I been ordering plants online for years. This is my first time to order from Bonnie Plants.

I bought these through Walmart, but the plants come from Bonnie Plants directly. I am impressed, big time. They pack each plant in a unique, green plastic wrapper, almost like a pot itself, with air vents.

None of my plants were damaged, nor were they knocked around in shipping due to the thoughtful design of the plastic container that encloses each pot of herbs. The shipping box was strong, well-taped, with many cautions printed on the box as to which side should be UP at all times, and that the contents is LIVE PLANTS, FRAGILE.

I appreciate this kind of care. Wonderful concept for shipping plants. The plants are healthy, vibrant, full, and not one yellow leaf. The stems are strong, and the leaf color is a rich green. , just as it should be.

They appear to be very well rooted and ready to take off. Lovely label, and this company has been in business 100 years (Bonnie Plants), family owned that entire time. Very impressive planting and care instructions included, especially detailed on what to do immediately when the plants arrive in case you are a beginning gardener, along with customer-friendly information and instructions should you have a problem with the order, which I did NOT have.

I am very happy with this order, and I promise I am not a paid reviewer, nor do I get perks of any kind from the company. I have never been paid to write a review– ever — I do not believe that is an ethical practice and would not participate.

I beleive this company does not pay its reviewers — it doesn’t need to because the quality of their products is their best advertisement! My husband and I are so impressed we will order all our herbs from Bonnie Plants online.

I cannot express enough gratitude to a company that loves its plants (and its customers) enough to pack with such expert attention and thoughtful care. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BONNIE”S PLANTS to anyone who wants top rate plants lovingly grown at a competitive price, well packed, shipped quickly, arriving in perfect shape.

We will order again. And again.

It is a decent plant, but you definitely have to have a lot of time to care for it. It is very finicky and requires a ton of water every day. If you don’t water it a lot it dries out quickly and leaves die.

Otherwise, it’s a nice plant to have. It smells great. It’s also good for an addition to fruit infused water! The company it was sent from did a great job taking care of it and keeping it in proper condition!.

I love these! The smell the spearmint is quite lovely and a great addition to the herb garden.

Both spearmint and peppermint seeds have not germinated. It’s going on two weeks.

Keep in mind if you are using these as a microgreen, the seeds are tiny! I bought 5000 and used them too quickly but it was my first attempt. I am testing these hydroponically so I’ll need to revisit my review as things progress.

Mycorrhizae truly enables my plants to make the biggest, most prolific roots I have ever experienced. Mykos brand is fresh, easy to use, and works well. Extreme Gardening Mykos only contains the type of mycorrhizae my plants can utilize, so you get more of what you need.

Seems to be a very fair price compared to other products, too.

Mykos and Azos is the only way to grow plants! My plants were transplant shocked root rot and all, now they are alive and Im getting like 4lbs tomatoes for sure! Just get this stuff you will be amazed! No more synthetic fertilizers just utilize whats in the dirt.

Trust me!.

Kept coming across peppermint, so I was excited to find spearmint. Getting my potting pots ready this week

The peppermint, lemon balm, catnip and spearmint all grew beautifully! Thank you!

This product I am still on the fence. I am using it daily and have purchased decal bottles so I can try and figure out if it is a positive product for me. I have been consistently using it for several weeks.

It seem very expensive and would not have purchased it at all if I had not purchased it on sale.

I have noticed an overall improvement in my mood and motivation after taking The One consistently for more than a month now. Happy camper! The One is the only one for me! Exceptional product, packaging & delivery every single time I order!.

my second purchase of the one. started using as a sleep aid lately and it has been working very well. i actually feel a lot better using the one as a sleep aid then any other pill or concoction i have used in the past.

not in a brain fog all day after not getting a good nights rest. i wake up feeling like i am 30 years younger which is awesome.
