I know that bay leafs can be used to make a wonderful bug spray. I always seem to go through bug spray like mad. Does anyone know how easy it is to grow bay leafs? Is that something we can do in the USA?

Bay trees grow native here in SE Texas. I haven't a clue about the bug spray. Guess you boil some leaves and make a tea.

To make a bug spray you need to use the essential oil. Bay leaves is just one oil that works very well. To get essential oils you have to steam distill the plant, root, flower.
Ok, I started a thread on how to make essential oils. So once you have that what would the next step in making this bug spray be. Does anyone know?
