Its mowed much like hay and then wind rowed and it lays a day to wilt. Then its chopped and blown into a mint wagon that can be attached to the boiler at the distillery.

We had been having problems with ants in the kitchen. I read somewhere on the net that ants will avoid mint. So I planted some mint along the kitchen side of the house.
I dunno if it was the mint, but we hardly ever see ants in the house any more.

AWESOME to not get ants!
I didn't get ants this year either. Dunno why.

Did I just read earlier this week that there are less than 500 mint farmers in the U.S.?

Mint is a "weed" in our lawns and yards in PDX that kicks off attacks of asthma whenever I get around to mowing. For $10K I'd be willing to set aside a barrel-full once a summer.

ooh, thanks, never even thought of those. I wonder if I've ever bought a product made from mint you've grown? I love peppermint.
