I'd put it in a container within a container within yet another container. That shit spreads

...kinda makes me want to plant that stuff all over my yard. It grows kinda patchy like clover, right?

Let that shit take over and suddenly mowing the lawn will smell AMAZING!

Depending on the type, it may get about 2 to 3 feet tall and develop woody stems. Our contained patch (pavement on 2 sides and the house foundation on the other 2) frequently gets overgrown/bushy by July. Does get little white flowers and attracts all the bees. But I'd dislike having a yard made of the stuff. Woody stem portions get pokey on bare feet, and I'm not sure it'd stay dense enough to keep the other tall plants down.

Bummer. Though not entirely surprising - as pervasive as they sound, if the shape and texture made them a good candidate for lawns, I'm sure it'd have been tried well before my two neurons fired off the idea.

...I do wonder if there's a similar candidate. I don't know jack about what herbs and such actually look like before making it into a jar in my kitchen, but if there is something that grows comparably to clover, feels decent to walk on, and smells decent when trimmed, even if it's not quite as amazing as mint...

I mean, if we're gonna go through the trouble of growing a crop just to cut it and throw it away, it might as well at least smell nice, right?

Or we could do the smart thing and ditch the lawn for a legit herb garden that we can actually consume.... but that kind of logic is a tall order.

I wish. Can't hold its own against the other weeds in our garden.

Put some catnip in and watch everything else fade away

Ooooooh, bonus, your yard will always attract cats!

We have bird feeders and of course it's going to attract mice so the catnip is there for a balance. We have a couple neighbor cats that make their rounds and I never see them going for birds. Always stalking out the mice. Win win!
