Can we talk about the invasive mint taking over the community garden on Elm Street?

I stopped by the Elm Street community garden last Thursday and noticed mint has completely swallowed up two of the raised beds, and nobody seems to be doing anything about it. The volunteer coordinator told me they let it go because it smells nice, but now it's choking out the tomatoes and peppers everyone planted in spring. So is it worth ripping it all out and starting over, or should they just let the mint win and plant around it?

Haven't you tried digging up the root barrier yet? Mint is relentless but manageable.
