wasp repellant? -essential oils

[Guest guest]

hi Sherri! thanks for the idea. I'll have to give it a go.

 

Although, I do feel compelled to mention (as the eco crazy I am)

essential oils are probably the least enviro-friendly way to obtain

plant materials. It takes an awful lot of plant to obtain a small

amount of oil. So, when using them, I tend to use as little as I

have to and am very respectful of the plant I'm using. That said,

there are lots of " replant " suppliers out there and sometimes, EO's

just hafta be used!
