We put a few mint plants in a large concrete planter and it filled the whole planter in one season. It does keep mice, cats, and mosquitos away.

Depends on where you live. Mint does have limits. It really dislikes dry and cold. We've planted it several times here and it's quite difficult to keep it alive. Our growing season is quite short so it's a bit depressing to have it die so quickly.
Mint, not even once.
There is a reason why I planted my piperita in a pot, far off the ground.
I planted a horseradish. Harvesting it often, don't see the issue.
I planted Achillea, by the way.
Don't worry just let my dad do the gardening. He killed the mint, the rhubarb, the blueberries, the redberries and the apple tree with his genius ideas!
We did it like 15 years ago, it took years to finally get rid of it...
I planted mint in a pot. And the roots went out of the bottom of the pot and between the tiles the pot was on, into the ground.
It's over there, next to my horseradish.
