The ONLY Cooking Ingredient That Also Keeps Bugs Away (And I’m Growing It)
Did you know your favorite soup seasoning is actually a secret weapon for your home? Today, I’m planting Bay Leaves (Bay Laurel), but not just for my kitchen! While other herbs might deter bugs, the Bay Leaf is the "heavy hitter" for both the pantry (weevils) and the windows (spiders). In this video, I’ll show you how I pot up this powerhouse herb and explain why I keep it in my windowsills and pantry jars. In this video, you’ll learn: How to pot up a bay laurel start for success. Why bay leaves are a "must-have" for natural pest control (keeping spiders and creepy crawlers out of your windows!). My secret for keeping weevils out of your flour, cornmeal, and long-term pantry storage. How to get that deep, earthy flavor in your stews by growing it yourself.
