Having done some training in Aromatherapy in the past for family use ,I turned to my reference book this am to check something out and came across a forgotten chapter on gardening uses.
Most of us know about using plants like Tagetes but the oil , like many others can be used -6 drops in 2 litres to water the veg to keep off carrot fly ,eel worm, greenfly etc. There is a host of oils and uses and GRO could do an article on insect repellent, companion uses, moulds and fungi. I have also found a use for my horsetail ( mildew on cucumbers ) although I have found a VERY effective weed killer.
I hope to try out some this year as I have most oils.
