I know must things that I can put in a compost bin but what about mint. I have loads of it and thought of putting that on. Is it ok to do that?

Default Mint

Hello Tweacle. I dont think you should put mint in compost bin as it would grow again when you spread compost around next year. Do you freeze the leafs for tea,or cooking. Minted new potatoes yum yum. From Marmite.

It should be fine as long as you don`t put the roots in as well.
