I planted some mint in a large pot, at an off-grid shack on a New England beach... two decades ago. That shit is still thriving to this day, despite zero maintenance and/or care and numerous harsh winters!
Also catnip, but with catnip there's a 50% chance neighborhood cats will show up and roll on it until it dies.
Thank you! Time to lure some cats to the yard.
Catnip brings all the cats to the yard.
Bees seem to love the catnip that grows in my garden at least. I think last summer I counted 8 different kinds of bees enjoying it.

There is a reason why I planted my piperita in a pot, far off the ground.
I thought it only really thrived near water.
You know what's also invasive?

The last people to own our house planted this stuff in the ground. It's also called fish mint, because it smells like fish when you cut it.

We put a few mint plants in a large concrete planter and it filled the whole planter in one season. It does keep mice, cats, and mosquitos away.
My buddy warned me about the mint the pervious owners planted, and I pulled it right away. It was right by our basement entrance so I frequently peer in and inspect for mint shoots. I think there must be a buried barrier or something (like landscaping cloth) preventing it from spreading outside the bed it was in. I found a small sprig 4 years after pulling everything I could find.

Pair it with raspberries
Just put them in raised beds and then mow right up to that bitch, they wont make it out.
I’ve seen it grow low. Like thyme.
Our soil is almost entirely clay and rock to the point that most grasses also fail to grow. I wouldn't mind something nice like mint or another invasive plant if it meant actually having something grow at all...
Make some planters
It takes very little top soil for most grasses and sedges to thrive

ENJOY THE MINT EVERYONE
Maybe add some white cover, some comfrey, sunchoke, raspberries, and you've got a permaculture paradise!
I didn't realize how raspberries propagated until after I'd planted it in my tiny bed. The fucker spends every spring plotting world domination.

You expect them to survive in a mint-infested ground?
Its funny I tried basically all those and none of them could survive or compete against my neighbors accidental thistle farm.
Not even the mint.
Tldr Mint is invasive.
How do you know I don't live in western and central Asia, east to the Himalaya and eastern Siberia, where we all know mint is native!?
Not sure what you are talking about exactly. I'm stating this from the perspective of a gardener and forager.
I'm not sure what I'm talking about, either. Just a dumb joke.
