kiwi brown commented on Jill Mulvaney's group Home Distilling"Can any one recommend a good site for finding out about steam distilling? I am assuming that is the easiest method, is this true. I would want to start off very small. Any comments would help."

Jill Mulvaney replied to Kali's discussion hops in the group Herbs"I have some, I love the smell of the flowers and distil them, the hydrosol is a relaxant. It like well drained soil and lots of sun. It dies right back in winter and comes back with avengence in summer."
Jill Mulvaney commented on Pete Russell's group Waiheke Island NZ"Does anyone have any galangal or tumeric. Id like to try growing it in 1/2 wine barrels. I Have some lovely fresh Maunuka, lemon Verbena, Clary Sage, Rosemary, or Lime Hydrosol I can swap.
