lavandar?

[dsmith]

I read that planting lavandar and mint will deter fleas. We fight fleas every year. Don't really know much about lavandar. Does anyone know anything about it?

Where is Bobber when you need him? HEEEEY!! BOBBERGUY!!! Where are youuu?

All I know its blue and a erb! I think I planted it one year!

I grow Mint, and my Wife hasn't had fleas for years

I thought Lavendar was a shrub like Lilac, My neighbor has a Lavendar Shrub, and I don't think they have fleas Either.

I really don't know except that if you plant mint plant it in a controllable place, the stuff is brutally invasive. I reccomend a large patio pot.

That mint grows like a wild bunch of grass everywhere!

Once started it is like the Eveready bunny. It goes and goes ,er grows and grows. Lavendar is a bush.

What you did not know about lavender you will know now! It is a erb and a bush and comes in many colors! This is a very detailed look at all the kinds of lavender! As for fleas I really don't know why they hate this plant. Maybe fleas hate pretty flower smells!

Bobber I knew that you would come through for her.. I did not know that it was a herb. That is interresting.

Thank ya'll very much. I was told about the mint spreading like wildfire. I think I will plant both. It would be so awesome to finally combat the fleas. And if it doesn't work, hey, I got some pretty plants. The mint is also suppose to help keep the mice away if you plant it around the house. We will see.
