BEAUTYBERRY INSECT REPELLENT
Use a combination of chopped stems and bark and leaves. Put 1 to 2 cups of chopped leaves and stems in a quart jar and fill with boiling water. Let set at least 4 hours or overnight. Strain. Fill an 8 ounce spray bottle half full of the infusion. Add witch hazel almost to the top – leave a 2 ounce space. Add essential oil of your choice. Shake before using.
Either I just never paid attention to it or the native American Beautyberry bush was not common in my niche of southern middle Tennessee and
Planning on giving this a shot this week.
