    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.

            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!
