Herb or plant that repels flies?
Stewart Robert Hinsley writes
In message , K writes Stewart Robert Hinsley writes Bog myrtle (Myrica gale) is rumoured to repel midges. Scotland is full of bog myrtle ;-) It was the curator of the Highland Folk Museum in Kingussie that told us that bog myrtle keeps the midges away. So we tried bog myrtle potpourri to keep the midges out of the caravan. Did it work? -- Kay |
