Blummin spiders

Hi Folks I too have heard that conkers are natural spider repellants, also remember attending a plant science lecture at cambridge which was themed the higher chemical responses of plants.. many plants such as Aesculus produce saponins which can cause mutaions within insect species. There is also current research going on regarding the use of saponins as natural insecticides ...so perhaps the conkers are not too bonkers?

 

regards

Dave
