Mugwort: Nature's Bug Repellent

1 month ago

This is my first attempt at doing this style of video, so it's a bit choppy. However, hopefully you will find this helpful. You can use mugwort as a natrual bug repellent. It will also keep certain animals from eating your plants as well. It's an antifungal as well, so if you notice that your plant has a blight or something wrong with it, you can try this. I learned this technique from my teacher and someone that I know who does homesteading. There will be a secondary video about the history of mugwort and different uses for it.

Please gather your mugwort safely and respectfully of others. You can also transplant some of the plants into your own garden and have your own continuous supply. You can make your tea as light or dark as you want, as small or as large of batch as you like. Experiment and see what works best for you. I'm sorry I can't give you an exact recipe, I wasn't given one and just experimented by trial and error.
