Goats love leaves!  I go into town in the fall and ask people if I can have their bags of leaves - assuming they have not put any kind of pesticide on their lawns. My goats think leaves are a wonderful treat, and goat droppings are great in the flower garden.

I love my mint.  I have never really had a problem with it growing too far out of bounds, but I go and cut sprigs of it all the time.  did you know mint tea is good for an upset stomach?
I would certainly not try to kill it! If you have a farmers market in your town, dig individual plants up, pot them and sell them in the springtime- lots of people will buy mint!
