Use Your Herbs To Keep Bugs Outta The Closet

[Guest guest]

USE YOUR HERBS TO KEEP BUGS OUTTA THE CLOSETIf you're an herb grower with a nice selection of herbs drying in yourdoorways, rafters, etc., you can create a handsome herbal swag thatkeeps unwanted insects away from the clothes in your closet. All youneed to do is build a bouquet out of bug-repelling herbs such aswormwood, yarrow, pennyroyal, tansy, lavender, and sage. You want theswag to lie against the wall, so begin with a large, flat piece, thenlayer smaller pieces on top, arranging them so all the layers show.Trim all the stems evenly at the bottom and wrap a couple of rubberbands around them to hold them together. Finish by winding some ribbonaround the bottom to conceal the rubber bands. Add a bow, if you want,then hang the finished product in your closet.
