[Sca-cooks] marigolds

[Collette S. Waters]

I grow   -Chrysanthemum parthenium- for this purpose.  I use the dry powdered
flowers as insect dust.  It kills insect on contact and is harmless to mammals
and birds.   I also hang branches of dried bay and/or basil in the pantry to
keep the buggies out of the dry goods.
