Just came across this and thought it was a neat idea for a patio to keep those mozzies at bay through the summer.

I've been recommended that peppermint and lemon balm and lavender do the same job so I'm having a go
You may say I'm a dreamer... But I'm not the only one...

Bog-myrtle may not be the best looking plant but is a good one to have, to keep the midge at bay,
some other thing you can do, is drink tonic water which is supposed to keep them awayit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Ah well, Scottish midges are in a class of their own. You breed 'em tough up there. I doubt anything would keep them at bay.Originally posted by Jay22 View PostLocation - Leicestershire - Chisit-land
