How do I get rid of the roots of the mint in my garden?
This seems like the right time of year to try (spring, north eastern USA). The roots run on and on and they are strangling my garden.
Help!
How do I get rid of the roots of the mint in my garden?
You just have to keep pulling them as they pop up. They are underground runners. Next time plant it in a pot. Good Luck.
Reply:sounds like the only way to do it is to dig them up ... follow a root carefully (without breaking it) and untangle as you go
Reply:buy weed killer from garden center or DIY shops .. its a chemical u mix with water and spray the plant or roots it will kill them for good ...
Reply:Till the soil and use a rake to remove the roots from the loose soil.

What kind of peppermint oil do I use when making mint chocolates?
A girl at work brought me some peppermint essential oil - 100% pure botanical undiluted and it says it can be diluted in a vegetable oil base. I picked up some Spearmint Oil today though from the Bulk Barn that the employee said I could use for sure, just incase.
What kind of peppermint oil do I use when making mint chocolates?
oohh,i'd use spearmint,if i had it(my fav)
You should'nt use the botanical stuff as its more for essential oil type use(burn/massage/potpourri)
The spearmint oil will have been extracted from the leaves(not whole plant)thus having a more palatable taste.(other wont be to nice)But i guess i would try it both ways%26amp;see..
It should really be essence/extract(again from leaf)i use'Queens'brand(peppermint)@supermarket... use for my choc mint truffles)taste good(not like camphur)I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING%26amp;USING(IF THEY'RE CHRISSY TREATS)JUST TO BE FAIL SAFE%26amp;NOT WASTE PRODUCE...don't want to be throwing away chocolate.
Of course spearmint and mint%26amp;peppermint are all from the same herb genus(do not taste alike but similar mint feature in all)So go by your preference in taste(mint=mild,peppermint=hot,spearmint...
Reply:not a problem,every ones a c-nt to me on this space.Thank for being polite.
Have an awsome holiday.AND how did they come out?Where's mine??ha ha. Report It
Reply:Peppermint and spearmint do not taste anything alike. See if you can find peppermint extract somewhere.
Reply:The first poster is definitely right about spearmint and peppermint being two very different flavors, so they are not interchangeable.
You could always use peppermint extract as well (about 1 teaspoon for a 9x13 pan of mints) or about 4 drops of the peppermint oil, whichever you can find.
Reply:It's peppermint extract that your looking for if you are using it in chocolate.
The peppermint essential oil is what you mix with a vegetable oil base to rub on your temples if you have a headache or add to a candle to freshen the air in a room.
Reply:Spearmint and peppermint do not taste the same. You need peppermint for your chocolates. It's like chewing spearmint gum or eating a candy cane-big difference in flavours.

What is the US mint going to do after all of the state quarters have been issued?
Are they going to go back to the original quarter design or go with a new design. Why?
What is the US mint going to do after all of the state quarters have been issued?
Congress hasn't decided on what will be done after the series although the House just voted to extend the program one year to 2009 by voting for WA DC and 5 U.S. territory quarters. Most likely the old quarter will be redesigned after the series, but retain George Washington as the main figure
Reply:Would like to know that too. Will they continue with the 1932 design, issue a completely new design, or modify it as they did with the nickel when it resumed normal production after the Westward Journey series, when they replaced the profile of Jefferson with a forward facing Jefferson?
Reply:We'll have an Iraqi quarter, and a Afghan quarter, and maybe an Iranian quarter.

Where to buy Hershey's Mint Chocolate Chips in Michigan?
I need to find a store preferrably in the Metro Detroit area or more north than that to find Mint Chocolate Chips. It seems to be a seasonal item but I need them for a recipe I am making. Please get back soon.
Where to buy Hershey's Mint Chocolate Chips in Michigan?
Go to one of the larger grocery stores in your area, they should have the shelf space to be able to carry them all year round.
Or,
Try a local baking specialty shop.
I would think that Mint Chocolate Chips would be a favorite that stores would want to keep in stock all the time.
Oh, one other thing. Ask you local market to start carrying them. Quite often, when my store doesn't carry something, I fill out one of the little request slips found at the customer service window and they get the product in by the next time I'm there.
Reply:Ive never had a problem fidning them.Try meijers.Ive always found them there.Or krogers.
Reply:Busch's - Farmington or A2, Westborn Fruit Market - Beverly Hills or Dearborn or Hiller's - A2

Reply:i'm sure there's a Lavender mint, but i haven't seen it in a while.
Reply:I just answered this on your first question. I hope it helps. Let me know if you need more info.
~smiles~
I decided that I needed to add the answer that I had given on the first question so here it is copied.
Mint is botanically called Mentha it is the Lamiaceae family. There are many varieties of mint. The most common are
M. gentilis (Golden apple Mint)
M. piperita (Peppermint)
M. pulegium (Pennyroyal)
M. requienii (Corsician Mint, Jewel Mint of Corsica)
M. spicata (Spearmint)
M. suaveolens (Apple Mint)
also in the Lamiaceae family are the Nepetas such as
N. cataria (Catnip)
N. faassenii (Catmint)
N. sibirica (Blue Beauty)
Lamiaceae are all members of the mint family of herbaceous plants and shrubs. Many of this group are aromatic and the famliy contains most of the familiar kitchen herbs, such as basil, mint, oregano and sage.
I think there are too many to mention here but look up Lamiaceae, Mentha, and Nepeta plants and you will get an idea as to how many there are. I have listed for you the most common ones.
Also remember that all of these plants are invasive and should be kept contained unless you want an entire bed of mint. I have catnip, spearmint and peppermint growing in the edge of my yard where I can keep it mowed and pulled so that it does not invade my flower beds. It is wonderful to smell them as we sit near them and after a rain there are very pungent.
I hope this helps you.
Reply:The tenth one on Chris's list Eau de Cologne mint is lovely. I have some just outside our back door and everytime you brush against it you really get a strong smell of eau de cologne.
Reply:Water mint - Mentha aquatica
Corn mint - Mentha arvensis
