I have 2 mint plants in 2 different pots both are growing well
Number 2 recently was infested with aphids and I trimmed away the badly affected parts and sprayed it regularly so no more aphids and new buds are starting to grow already .... It smells and tastes great as mint should
Number 1 despite being right next to number 2 but wasn't infested with aphids.Also growing well but whenever I smell it or spray it or taste it ... It's mint but + what could be described as a pee odor *sorry*
What could be causing that ???

I'm a bit concerned that you sprayed your mint ... what with? I wouldn't use any sprays on edible plants.
Have you anywhere outside for your mint to live ... it'll be much happier outside.

I just don't speak " gardening " I didn't realize that's how it would seem
Don't worry I'm not that naive 😂

I will take a look through the site OK
I don't really know about their variety .. I bought them separately
Had to say it ... don't want you being ill
