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.

Is this true?
Yep also if you infuse a bunch of lavendar in boiling water for about 10
mins or more, with a little salt and shower gel or some such, this makes a
very good soak for tired feet, not only leaving feet smelling sweet but the
oils in the lavender help to soften the skin.
