If you think you are going to be able to control mint in the garden through careful monitoring and ruthless maintenance, you are incorrect.
I thought I could – the same way I contained a wild sweet pea (which I still have under somewhat stringent control) but mint is a different animal entirely, with its deceptive runners that creep wherever it senses water, sprouting up many feet from its source, and then splitting off into numerous other channels.
Don’t even let it get started. Forewarned is fair-warned, as they told us in retail.
Thyme, on the other hand, is always on your side.
