The secret is to never want to remove it.

It's easy to care for it, you can totally neglect it and it still thrives. When you think it's grown to much, you cut it down, it springs right back. You can rip it out, as long as there's a 5cm piece of root somewhere in the ground, it will be there again next year.

I've ripped out many a bushel and gifted to friends and still have my own mint. I like it.
