Grit advice

i was advised by my local garden centre to use potting grit when planting up my latest selection of plants (herbs), thing is I can't remember if they said to lay under roots or mix into the compost.
Help!
I'm due to be planting up this weekend, all plants are ready in anticipation

 

Mix it with the compost. I think I'm right in saying that herbs (generally) will appreciate good drainage.

 

Dont mention Mint

 

I don't follow?

 

Lol I've heard about mint and it's spreading habits

I've got verbena (that's not mint family is it?), oregano, majoram, Rosemary, lavender, bay and two varieties of thyme

 

Mint just loves it damp, some types grow wild in boggy ground.

 

I thought Mint would grow anywhere, thanks for the info

 

It does, but the wetter the better.

 

I agree ... fabulous with your mint cocktails
