What I do for mint and other invasives that I want to grow under control
is to plant them in a large, deep plastic container (15 or 30 gal.
nursery containers are esp. good or even an old bucket) then cut out
bottom of container and plant container and all where I want it to grow
but not spread.  The underground runners can't get out the sides to
spread and the plant stays under good control.  I've used this very
successfully with mints and with monarda (bee balm).

I am actually planting  my favourite spearmint in wet spots in my lawn.
It is wonderful to mow.
