Growing Rosemary: Natural Pest Repellent and Homemade Mosquito Repellent

Rosemary is a versatile herb that repels mosquitoes, flies, and aphids. It can be grown easily in pots or in the ground with ample sunlight. To create a homemade mosquito repellent, steep dried Rosemary in boiling water, strain, and then use as a spray. Planting Rosemary with marigolds, parsley, chives, and sage provides added protection for growing vegetables.
