It will leave the skin feeling refreshed and is suited to all skin types.

*If you mulch your gardens heavily after a good, soaking rain as soon as the soil is very warm, you will have very little work to do in the gardens for the rest of the summer. You can just enjoy, gloat, and harvest. A heavy (4-6") mulch will retain heat and moisture in the soil, keep weeds from seeing the sun, combat disease, prevent soil erosion, prolong the growing season by maintaining an even soil temperature, keep your herbs, flowers, fruits and vegetables clean and dry, provide a support, add valuable enrichment to the topsoil as it decomposes, make your gardens more attractive, and, if all this is not enough, in the winter will prevent root damage from alternate freezing and thawing! *Pennyroyal is an excellent mosquito repellent. Hanging baskets of pennyroyal on the porch or patio will help keep insects away. Fresh leaves rubbed on picnic guests' arms and legs will keep mosquitoes, bees, flies, wasps, and even chiggers at a distance! Pennyroyal leaves can be applied to the hair of humans or the fur of pets, but should not be used near the eyes or tender facial areas.
*What tree did you fall from? Find your birthday and then find your
tree...This is really cool and somewhat accurate and also in line
with Celtic astrology.
