I need a source for lemongrass extract
« on: June 09, 2009, 12:16:12 pm »
I want to be prepared for the time I will need it and I do not want to get stuck with an second-rate brand of lemongrass extract.

Does anyone have a good source for lemongrass extract/oil?

that one looks pricey. I've seen them made of pyrex as well so with the terms figured out you can search more of them.

I have a further question.

I have been reading up on essential oils, it sound like this is potent stuff, is it best to dilute the oil before using it and if so, with what?

I have also read that if the scent is to strong the bees may avoid the box.

The stuff I sell and use, I just put my finger over the bottle, invert the bottle once, then rub the wood with the wet finger. Yes, it is concentrated.
