Keep adding boxes. My one rosemary plant would overflow one of those.

I like those corner blocks. I've never seen them. What country are you in?

Love those blocks as well.  Where did you buy them?/Find them?

I'd love to get some like that.

Peppermint roots will take over an entire bed and find ways to get into the next.  So I advise planting it a separate container that is designed to be escape proof.
What has worked well for me is the top cut off of a plastic barrel on cement blocks. The mint likes lots of water so I keep it partialy flooded but remove one of the caps during the rainy season so it is not completely flooded.
