Growing peppermint herb from seeds using the materials you have can be a rewarding experience. Peppermint is a hardy herb that thrives in containers. Here’s a step-by-step guide for you:
1. Prepare the Pot :
- Fill the plastic pot with the potting mix up to about 1 inch below the rim. This allows space for watering.
2. Sow Peppermint Seeds: 
- Sow peppermint seeds on the surface of the potting mix. Press them gently into the soil, but do not bury them deeply; just lightly press them into the soil.

3. Watering: 
- Water the seeds or seedlings immediately after planting to settle the soil. Peppermint prefers consistently moist soil, so water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged.

4. Fertilizing: 
- Once the plants have established and started growing (usually after 2-3 weeks), begin feeding them with the concentrated root fertilizer. Dilute the fertilizer as per the instructions on the package and apply it around the base of the plants.

5. Nutrifier Spray: 
- Use the plant nutrifier spray according to the instructions provided. Spray it on the foliage or around the base of the plants to supplement nutrition and promote healthy growth.

6. Managing Weeds: 
- Use the scraper tool to carefully remove any weeds that may sprout in the pot. Be gentle to avoid disturbing the peppermint roots.

7. Pest Control: 
- Apply the bug deterrence powder as needed to deter pests. Sprinkle it lightly around the base of the plants or according to the instructions on the product.

8. Sunlight and Temperature: 
- Place the pot in a location that receives partial to full sunlight. Peppermint prefers at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily but can tolerate partial shade. It also thrives in cooler temperatures.

9. Harvesting: 
- You can start harvesting peppermint leaves once the plants have grown to a sufficient size, typically after 2-3 months. Harvest by snipping off the stems just above a leaf pair. This encourages bushy growth and ensures continuous harvest.

### Additional Tips:
- Spacing: If planting multiple peppermint plants in one pot, space them about 12 inches apart to allow room for growth.
- Mulching: Consider applying a thin layer of mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Watering:  Monitor the soil moisture regularly and water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Pruning:  Trim peppermint regularly to promote new growth and prevent the plant from becoming leggy.

By following these steps and utilizing the materials you have, you should be able to grow peppermint successfully in your plastic pot. Enjoy the fresh, aromatic leaves for teas, culinary dishes, and more!
