DILL for Mites...

[tn_toker420]

Ok, i've not a clue as to what DILL is...But i'd just recently read that there's a certain type of the herb Dill that will keep mites at bay if grown in your garden...If anyone has any information to this let me know, if ya know the type of dill that would be awesome...

I don't know anything about using it as a mite repellent but there is only one dill plant. It has several parts that people use, it has seeds used as a spice, leaves that can be used fresh or if you dry the leaves you then have dill herbs. It's really easy to grow but should also be available at your local grocery store. I would think you would need the oil which is extracted from fresh leaves, also available at the local grocer.

regular dill u use in food ,,,,you can also make it in to a foliar spray to help keep mites and other midges at bay :48:

Hey Uk, have ya ever heard of any first-hand experiences of using DILL as a repellant??? Or any links or reading material about it..??? seems like a great alternative to other solutions for mites ...Althought i doubt that dill would rid your room of mites, but may discourage them from nesting maybe ...I'd like to know more about it tho

Excellent, i'm just in the stages of creating a garden from scratch so this is real good to know thanx guys


Even if it doesn't work at least you got you own supply to make a repellent out of it

let us know how that works out but i just use Azatrol

I'd normally go buy something to cure whatever it is but i just figure if i doing a garden an it works then it be kinda foolish not to try it

i have dill planted in the ground around my plants, and today, i noticed the beginning of mite damage on several plants. so, my findings, it was a bust OD for me. someone else with different conditions may get better results.

time for the garden safe, and 7.
