When Magistrate Chris Callaghan asked Mills if he was a "meth cook" he shook his head and said, "All I set out to do was essential oils."
Eventually admitting to the charges, Mills said, "I accept that I am guilty."
Mr Callaghan said if the judge in the District Court had dealt with all the charges together, Mills wouldn't have received a longer sentence.
"You are not further punished, however the items seized may be forfeited," he said.
