Mountain Mint

Mint
A strong, aromatic variety native to North America, used in herbal medicine and insect repellents.

Growing Environment

  • Soil Texture: Sandy Soil

    Large particles, gritty, excellent drainage, poor nutrient retention.

  • pH Range: < 5.0

    Extremely acidic, often found in marshy or waterlogged areas.

  • Organic Matter: Very Low (< 1%)

    Soils with minimal organic matter, typically found in degraded or over-farmed soils.

  • Hardiness Zone: 3A (Min: -40°F, Max: -35°F)
  • Humidity: Low

    Somewhat dry, common in transitional climates.
    Impact: Moderate stress for moisture-sensitive plants; may require supplemental irrigation.

Nutrient Profile

  • Calcium (Ca) (1.11 - 4)

    Strengthens cell walls, improves soil structure and aids in nutrient uptake.

  • Calcium (Ca) (1.11 - 4)

    Strengthens cell walls, improves soil structure and aids in nutrient uptake.

  • Magnesium (Mg) (0.36 - 5)

    Central to photosynthesis, as it is part of the chlorophyll molecule.

  • Magnesium (Mg) (0.36 - 5)

    Central to photosynthesis, as it is part of the chlorophyll molecule.

  • Molybdenum (Mo) (0.11 - 12)

    Necessary for nitrogen fixation and utilization, and the formation of enzymes involved in plant metabolism.

  • Molybdenum (Mo) (0.11 - 12)

    Necessary for nitrogen fixation and utilization, and the formation of enzymes involved in plant metabolism.

  • Nitrogen (N) (1.58 - 1)

    Essential for plant growth, promotes lush, green foliage.

  • Nitrogen (N) (1.58 - 1)

    Essential for plant growth, promotes lush, green foliage.

  • Phosphorus (P) (0.18 - 2)

    Vital for energy transfer and photosynthesis, helps in root and flower development.

  • Potassium (K) (1.45 - 3)

    Helps with water regulation, disease resistance, and overall plant vigor.

  • Potassium (K) (1.45 - 3)

    Helps with water regulation, disease resistance, and overall plant vigor.

  • Sulfur (S) (0.21 - 6)

    Key component of some amino acids and vitamins, supports overall plant metabolism.
