Some herbs come only in the cut and sifted form. Many times these
can be put in the blender and powdered to mix with other herbs.
If you don't have a blender or the herbs won't powder down, a tea
may be made by mixing together all the herbs you wish to use and
pouring boiling water over them. The general rule of thumb is to
use 5 times as much water as herbs. Cover this brew and let set
overnight, strain and use as a sprinkle or spray in the garden.
Be sure to apply only after the sun has gone down to avoid sun scald.
