Try and fill compost to a depth of roughly 25cm before planting. Use a garden fork or trowel to loosen and mix the soil. 2 Planting your mint If you can, plant them 40cm apart. If you're using a small pot or container, use one plant per pot. 3 Where to place your plant Mint plants love sun but they also like a bit of shade. Place it so that it gets both sun and shade. 4 Watering your mint Your mint plant prefers moist soil. Keep it well watered but don't overdo it. Place plant saucers beneath to catch excess water. 5 Harvesting your mint Mint is a very fast growing herb. Pick the leaves at any time by pinching off stems, or to harvest whole stems cut them roughly 3cm from the top of the soil.
