Make your own Mixed Herbs
Bart Mixed Herbs in Waitrose costs £2.99 for 14g (the large jar)Ingredients:
Thyme, Marjoram, Sage, Parsley, Oregano.
Buying the herbs separately from Amazon and ORGANIC, in 500g pouches each, costs just over £50.
So 2.5KG of mixed herbs if you add equal amounts of each.
That much in Bart jars would cost over £500 !!!! 1000% profit
I am in the wrong business

Julie, I grow my mint in a pot. It seems to contain it perfectly, then I each year I just turn it out of the pot, split it and repot however much I want to grow on.
The bits I don't want go over the tip though incase it spreads in the compost bin otherwise!
I've done that for years and never had a problem with it spreading anywhere else.
