Hi Giveup...it's a good idea to feed mint during the summer. There will be nutrients in the new soil but in a few weeks....food and plenty of water. x

Use a good rich compost, water it and when established, feed - I use Miracle Grow Herb planter - try looking at the link above


I find this site helpful, good luck!

I think I'm the only person who can kill mint:-(

I didn't realise you had to feed mint. That explains why mine is always pathetic.

And I think I'm the only person spent weeks making mint sauce... using Fuchsia leaves by mistake... :-( x

carrust, I am the second peorson then that can kill mint.! I have tried everything and each year it dies and I have to go and buy more. What am I doing wrong. In a pot in the garden sun ? shade? I just cannot keep it.! x
