Nice work Edward. Think I'm going to have to put up a polytunnel, but try explaining to the police that you want to grow a type of grass. Any more info? How did you go about it? Did you dry them before distilling? And, of course, what does it smell like?

Oh Yeah. Good luck on your endeavor with the polytunnel. I am not exactly sure what kind of Vetiver it is. I would like to find someone pretty knowledgeable on the various vetivers so I can know exactly what type it is. I am going to distill the rest of my plants shortly and split them up to start growing for next season. Maybe by that time I wil have figured out the new BN setup and be able to communicate with members better.

Edward - My only book on grasses is restricted to European ones, which is pretty ironic considering the trouble their pollen gives me when flowering.
Identifying grasses manually is often tricky but, as with any flowering plant, seeing the flower helps.
This is the best resource that I can think of - if you need further help, please let me know.
Kew used to be happy to identify plant material, but it may be worth contacting them first these days and finding who is dealing with that specific area.

Are there similar places in the USA?
