SWMBO has just cut some lavender from the garden, I happened to mention
that
my mother and grandmother used to put the flowers in small bags and put
them
in the drawers, I had been under the impression that it was just to use
the
perfume, but she says it was to deter moths.

Yes, it's anti-moth as well as pro-nice-smell!


Thanks, and there was me thinking that it was just for the nice smell, just
shows I'm not right ALL the time!
