HERB - kiddie pool gardening

I think that if I were using this approach, I would also
avoid most mints unless I was reserving the pool exclusively
for said purpose. I would also avoid lemon balm. Either of
these will take over and crowd out whatever else you hope to
grow. As an alternative to in ground or pot planting, however,
it might be the *best* way to grow these plants and avoid
having them overrun everything else.
