What other
people think
'I have used this oil to keep my cats away from
plant tubs, and it also features in some preparations sold in garden shops for
the same purpose. It does need to be re-applied every few days but will
effectively keep animals away from small areas of soil'. - an excerpt from
Aromatherapy an A - Z by Patricia Davis.
