Actually, if you like the smell of oregano oil, try planting borage in your home. It has a similar smell to oregano - must be from the same plant family.


According to dh, it is a natural insect repellant. We grow 2 pots at home. So far, keeping the mozzies at bay. Or at least in the hall, since that's where my potted borage plants are.

Erheemmmm, I'm not quite the green fingers here :oops: :oops:

Never heard of borage before.

But sure interested to find out more ....

Is it an indoor plant?? How do I go about planting/buying it?? How do I maintain it???

Ok... u give me one day to get back to u on this one. I need to ask my farmer husband. Actually, he didn't buy it, just came home one day with the plant - with roots and all. As u can see, dh doesn't get me flowers, I get plants and vege instead. :stupid: But that's another story altogether... :roll:

Btw, when I next reply, will transplant this borage thingy to the \"tried and tested\" thread. Otherwise the mobsters, oops mods will come and :heresmyfish: me

The word \"thrive\" and \"TLC\" came into my mind when I read that .... see the significance, with regards to the r/s

Ya lah, thats his way of showing his love to you, making sure there's food on the table always :laugh:

Well, you did get hitched to him after all, so you must have seen something wonderful 'hiding behind' the plants and the veges :celebrate:

Just some advice, read this link first on how to use it:

Don't use it on broken skin. My DS scratched himself on his back and I didn't know. When I administered it, he yelped in pain (due to the heat), I had to wipe it off his back and made sure the 2nd time, the scratched area was avoided.

I think its worth a try. My DS really sleeps like a baby when I use it on him. I also use it on the soles of his feet.
