Can anyone tell me where I can get some lemongrass to grow in pots please? Apparently it is quite easy, grows tall appreciates the high temperatures as is a mosquito repellent.

We bought our plant up on the roundabout under the Ap7 on the way to torry hospital but u can get them in most garden centres, Pete.

Does this work on repelling mossies, has anyone found this?

According to the research that I've done it does.

We grew it successfully in Perth, WA and as its a similar climate here it should be easy.
Never used it as an insecticide but in Asian meals where it's wonderful

Yes it does work but you need quite a lot depend where you are I have got a large garden so need at least 5 plants I M in the process of trying to grow them from the leaves in water see if they root?

Hi. Have got a big clump growing in garden . Got it from garden centre on way to torry on the roundabout,was only small when I got it now 3ft. So easy to grow.

Thanks for all replies but more importantly does it keep the mossies away?

Have tried crushing some leaves up and putting in a bowl where we sit but not sure if I used enough. But maybe if you put in a pot near where you sit and keep brush the leaves to release the smell it may work better

Better if you bathe in the stuff put it in the bath and just go outdoors and hey presto!! You still get bit,,,
