 Hi

My mint (Mentha L.) is looking pretty straggly, I was wondering should I prune it & if
so will this have any detrimental effect?
thanks
Sandra

Snails too.

I was surprised to come out one morning and find my abundant mint pot
*gone*, completely - what the hell ( it was there yesterday ?!?!? ).

Reason: 3 snails, plump with minty fresh breath.

Aha.....you need a pair of ducks (or more) in the garden to eat the
snails and slugs. Ducks are lovely people, very friendly and she will
reward you every day with a nice fresh egg.
