For growing the young mint plant, you should look for soil with:
* Loose, crumbly, friable texture
* Absence of clods and under-laying hardpan below the plow depth
* Richness and with slow releasing nutrients
* Lack of crusting upon drying out
* Supports for beneficial fungi, bacteria, and earthworms

It is best to plant mint in the spring after the threat of winter frost is over. However, mint plants have a tendency to grow out of control, and it is very important to plan for that possibility as well, unless you want your whole garden to be overrun with mint.
