Will garden mint grow in a growbag compost?
I want to transplant some mint out into the garden from a pot, as it can be invasive was thinking of putting it in a large ceramic kitchen sink and filling it will grownbag compost. Will it thrive in this?
Even planted in a sink sunk into the ground it may 'escape' and invade your garen. Keep a close watch for runners nipping over the top. You will probably need to keep it watered even if we have a wet summer.
I wouldn't even bother with growbag compost mint will grow in any old soil/soil-compost mixture in shade or sun. It will die back in winter though in all but the most very mildest areas of the UK.

It will grow just about anywhere.

Yes it should love it but hedge your bets by only putting half the mint from the pot out into the garden to see how it grows.
I see you are asking this question from the UK so I don't know if it will grow outdoors okay all year like it does here in Australia.
