You can see few pictures of such applications on our website. Hello,

However, they do make other steamers that are specialized for weed control. The steam reaches higher temperatures and is under greater pressure. They also have attachments that make it easier for application, but these machines tend to be very expensive. Hi Betty,

You describe a machine the size of a vacuum. Is this a commercially available machine? I have seen clothes steaming devices in retail stores called "professional steamers" with a vacuum like tank and a long wand. Is this similar to the steamer you use or perhaps an "off label" use of one of these clothes steamers that you have adopted for the purpose of weed removal. Thanks in advance for any info you can share. Betty I am very interested in the steam method of weed control. You describe a machine the size of a vacuum. Is this a commercially available machine?

The plants in Bonnefont Herb Garden are restricted to Medieval species. Salvia divinorum is a new world plant that is believed to be native to Oaxaca, Mexico. R. Gordon Wasson, early pioneer in ethnobotany, also found it very interesting that a member of the Lamiaceae family had these properties. In one of the first publications on S. divinorum, Wasson discusses the use of this plant, as well as Coleus pumila, another member of the Lamiaceae family, by the Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico. Wasson also suggested that S. divinorum may be a cultigen, altered by man for certain desired traits. (R. Gordon Wasson, Salvia divinorum- A New Psychedelic From The Mint Family, 1963). Hi Reupbert,

I find it very interesting that this plant is in the Sage genus and mint (Lamiaceae) family.

We have been growing both Datura stramonium and Datura metel for some time at the Cloisters. They have both been located in our magic bed for the reasons you mentioned. The plant actually contains the same active alkaloids as Atropa belladonna, deadly nightshade, another plant with psychoactive properties. Hi Adriana,

The witches used this nightshade plant along with henbane to make "flying ointment."
