My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What, if any beneficials will mint draw?

18 years ago

I have a bed of mint within 8 feet of my nearest vegetable bed and I am wondering if it's worth weeding and watering this mint bed. I have other mint areas all around the house. Does spearmint have any benefits to the rest of the garden?
