After reading more about mints, it seems peppermint will give a much stronger minty flavor, since it contains a much larger percentage of menthol. I'll have to try that next time.

It isn't 100% effective but it does seem to discourage most of the monsters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442329414502848033.post-72399934504386901152015-01-25T08:43:46.471-06:002015-01-25T08:43:46.471-06:00Fabulous rundown of the health assisting claims of...Fabulous rundown of the health assisting claims of many easily sourced garden leaves for infusions.
