Today I’m going to distil lavender oil. Last year I followed a workshop in the Netherlands How to distil Lavender Oil. Since then I’ve made orange oil from organic orange peels, mint oil and oregano oil. But no lavender oil yet.
Today I tell you how to make lavender soap with dried lavender. The result is a wonderfully smelling, nourishing soap for your whole body.
Soap making always went well, but maybe it was beginner’s luck. Since a few years I make my own soap with laurel berry oil. And a basic olive oil soap. I had excellent results. Until today. What went wrong with the soap? I tell you.
Everywhere I read that propagating lavender by cuttings is not difficult. Easier than sowing and much better too, because you keep the original characteristics of the plant. But with my lavender cuttings this spring I went quite wrong.
The first lavender harvest could never be great. The test field I started with this spring contains only 40 plants. Moreover, the harvest in the first year is simply not high. But still, the first results can be there.
