Pest Away

In an effort to keep things natural we have come up with our own pesticide here at Rothe Farms.  With a little research we have developed our special blend.  Preliminary tests show that our own natural blend helps to keep the pest at bay.  Makita, the Rothe Farms cat broke a large piece off of my beautiful flowering sage plant a few weeks ago.  I made a strong tea from the leaves of the sage.  This is the base of the Pest Away as sage is a natural repellent.  I added castile soap and vegetable oil along with lemongrass, peppermint, lavender and a citrus blend of essential oils.  This is mixed in a bottle and sprayed on all parts of the plant.

Lets hope for continued success!
