Last year my Lavender was so prolific that I decided to used, the end of the year, long stem cuttings in the fireplace. It gave off a lovely scent and almost completely covered the smell of burning wood in the house. It also helped with a "quick start" lighting the fire. I've been so pleased that from now on I will be using the end of the year long cuttings in the fireplace. I already use some of the earlier cuttings that dry naturally in the kitchen and bedrooms. Why put such fragrance in the composter when it can naturally keep my house smelling great without all those chemicals or making my pets ill either.
