Who/what is eating my mint? What should I do about it? Can I do something organic? I had destroyed my mint a year ago by spraying a pesticide, so I don't want to go that route.

I live in Jaipur, India. The current temperature is 22-35 degree C (70-75 F).

Seems like your culprit is smallish. Candidates would be

  • caterpillars
    Check for their droppings - greenish or blackish "pearls" - or the animals themselves hiding either under the leaves or along the stems. Simply pick them off, no chemicals needed.
  • slugs or snails
    tend to leave slimy traces - search and remove like caterpillars.
  • bugs
    rather unlikely, but a close inspection should clarify this soon. Proceed as above.
