Using herbs to control pests

Growing herbs can not only add to your dining pleasure it can help to discourage lawn and garden pests from coming around

 

Plant these where you feel you can get the most effective results. I keep basil and potted mint near doorways; lavender near porch and post lights. Use your best judgement.
