MAKER’S NOTE
If you don’t have any herbs in the garden, you can easily find dried ones online or ask a neighbour for some from their garden
MOTH REPELLENT BAGS
One of the easiest ways to prevent moths from taking up residence in your wardrobe is to make your own repellent bags. Moths detest the aromas of strong herbs like lavender, rosemary, bay and thyme. You could gather bunches of these herbs from your garden, hang them in a dark place for some weeks to dry out and then make up these sachets to put in your wardrobe, cupboards and drawers
MAKES 4-6 BAGS
You will need
1 large bunch of dried lavender stems
1 large bunch of dried thyme stems
1 large bunch of dried rosemary
1 large bunch of dried chamomile
1 bowl and spoon Reusable organic cotton bags
Ingredients
4-6 dried bay leaves
Lavender essential oil (optional)
- Strip the flowers from the dried lavender, chamomile and the leaves from the thyme stems and put them in the bowl.
- Strip the needles from the rosemary sprigs and add them to the bowl. Mix well.
- Scoop the mix into the reusable bags and add one bay leaf to each bag.
