Re: A Must READ! No kidding. Could help.
CLEW,
Thanks for the tip.
Kleen Green has kept popping up in my searches.
May well have to give it a try.
I bought some gin yesterday.
Couldn't bring myself to drink it.
The creepy crawly got very bad last night.
I applied some gin as a topical, applied with a paper towel folded into a pad.
Wonderful.
Knocked the crap back and I got a good night's sleep.
I've been looking at the juniper berry (gin).
Which has led to pine.
The more I look into pine, the more enthused I have become.
I'm surrounded by pines.
There are some youngsters around as well as fully grown.
A particular youngster stood out.
In flower.
Today I will gather some of those flowers.
As well, some needles from the same tree.
Will make aqueous solutions of both.
Will also employ some extra virgin olive oil and come up with some things of both needles and flowers in term of oils.
I know how to make and use a reflux condenser (closed) as well as setup for distillation purposes.
Perhaps it is time that I employ some of the knowledge I've gleaned over the decades.
It is possible that right outside the front door I may have some answers, some helps.
Must get on it.
The poison ivy/sumac/oak... we have some dandy hybrids... are already making an appearance.
Must get to work before they are too prevalent among the pines.
