I never pruned my mint, but now it's THRIVING.

I saw a video on pruning herbs. Now my mint is CONTROLLED and lush.

That's the mint paradox right there. Turns into a jungle without it, but a nice little bush with some cuts.

Ugh, @adam_wells5, you've nailed it. My rosemary did the same thing last year, just a wild, woody mess because I ignored it. But a few careful trims and it was full and usable again. It's funny how the plants we use the most demand the most attention. Mint is just the most obvious, and pushy, example of that whole deal. A friendly little tyrant.
