Stan, a wax myrtle will do the same thing to run off the fleas. Growing up, a house animal was strictly forbidden. After all of us left home though my parents got a chiwawa(sp?) and it would have a flea episode from time to time. I visited the homeplace once and found the floor in every room covered with branches from myrtle bushes she'd gotten someone to cut in the woods...SelbyLowndes
No fleas though.

Walnuts are fine, but they can be hell on horses. I am eliminating many of the from parts of my property.

Some of my fondest memories are my grandmothers cooking, black walnuts were her favorite nut. She used them in cookies and cakes. Her house burned in the 70s and the fire killed the one walnut tree, leaving all the pecan trees. I built my house there and would have been glad to trade a pecan tree for the walnut. That walnutsaw is neat, Mike there's an old english proverb something along the lines of.... a man has begun to understand the nature of life when he plants trees, with the full knowledge that he will never sit under their shade.

I remember the dark purple stain on my hands from shelling black walnuts.

At one time Savannah was a major port for banana imports in the SE. Locals would place discarded stalks of overripe bananas under wooden houses commonly built on pilasters. The belief was it eliminated fleas from the houses. To tie into the thread, I suppose walnuts and bananas would make great banana nut bread, but a banana stalk would make a poor gun stock. Gil

One of the great things about growing up on the Canadian plains is we never had to worry about how to crack open walnuts.

....but a banana stalk would make a poor gun stock. Gil It actually has some pretty straight grain. I think the bad rep is from folks not patient enough to let it dry thoroughly before inetting and it's tough to get crisp checkering on it. Some get around that by using a single layer of saran wrap between the metal and wood, also helps with finishing if you leave maybe an inch sticking out all around.

Banana wood gunstocks indeed. And this used to be a serious doublegun resource. Everyone knows the best figure is in the banana root, which is never shipped to Savannah with the banana...Geo
