sweet woodruff
Went to an interesting garden on Tuesday, well the talk was interesting
and the plants not quite so commonplace as the average garden. Dr primrose (that's actually his name) in High Wycombe was telling us about not trying herbal remedies for self medication (he's a micro biologist of course) but he did tell us some ordinary remedies. One of which was to combat those carpet beetles/bugs that leave their casings on the carpet looking like rice grains. Apparently they are very plentiful this year and one proven remedy is to crush Sweet Woodruff and place it onto the carpet. It deters the moth from laying eggs into the carpet or clothes. Known as Ladies bedstraw for that reason i assume it used to also be put into mattresses in the past. Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
