Title: "Non-Chemical Pest Management"
Post by: gavin on February 27, 2005, 18:25:57: Found this by chance yesterday - http://oisat.org/; the biggest library of witches' brews and wizards' potions I've seen.

Some are truly foul sounding - and I feel a bit uneasy that there's lots of recipes but little information on how effective they might be? Not that I would dream of suggesting that any of them should be used, of course ;).

How long are your arms? ;)

All best - Gavin

Thanks I think I shall be having a good read of it.
