The results showed minimum plant height, leaf diameter, number of leaves, number of branches, fruits per inflorescence, fresh weight of plant, dry weight of plant, root Length of plant, root weight of plant and canopy size/spread were examined in treatment T 0 (Soil) while maximum was noticed in case of T2 (Soil + leaf compost), followed by T0, T1, T2 and T3. Analysis of variance for Mint oil content revealed significant results. The minimum oil content was examined in treatment T 0 (Soil) while maximum was noticed in case of T1 (Soil + Leaf compost), followed by T 0, T1, T2 and T3. Observation regarding Menthol content in plant revealed significant effect on sowing media. Menthol content was minimum in treatment T0 (Soil) while maximum was noticed in case of T2 (Soil+ leaf compost), followed by T 0, T 1, T 2 and T 3.
