Whenever you hear the word mint, many good and few bad things may come to your mind. That's right! Mint has bad reputation for no reason. which is , mint is of predatory nature and takes over the garden from other plants. It spreads so fast that within few months you will see mint every where in your garden.
                                         

You can take care of this problem very easily. Just don't grow mint near the other plants. You can sow mint in abandoned places where you cant grow much or cant use that place otherwise.

Mint grows very fast, that means you can harvest as much as you want. If you cut too much of mint ,still it will grow back. means you can have unlimited supply of mint for your kitchen at no cost.

Mint grows really well in shades. So you can grow in verandas or by the walls where you can grow other plants due to absence of sun light. so all of those shady places which are neglected and doesn't look good because of no greenery , Mint is the best solution. It will make those places green and alive.

Mint is easy to grow. You don't have to water it regularly.
It's grows easily if its cuttings are planted in soil, the roots will grow very fast. It doesn't need much of fertilizers either. 

Mint is very helpful in attracting beneficial insects and repels the harmful ones.So growing mint near flower will help them fertilize easily.

Mint is very beneficial for pets for example cats and dogs.Chickens and parrots eat that too.Mint has digestive properties that's why it keeps the pets healthy but keep in mind that pets don't consume it a lot.
