Herbs 'can be natural pesticides'

Click on me

Common herbs and spices show promise as an environmentally-friendly alternative to conventional pesticides, scientists have told a major US conference.
They have spent a decade researching the insecticidal properties of rosemary, thyme, clove and mint.

How backward are they we have been doing this for hundreds of years...marigolds work great also...as do many herbs and flowers... fish oils etc...

It's all rediscovery...
