Okay. I have some grosso lavender, from which I harvested the stems with buds about 2 weeks ago. I tied it in a bunch and hung it upside down to dry. I now would like to remove the buds from the stems to make a lavender sachet. I've tried putting the bunch head-first into a large plastic bag and rubbing the buds to remove, but with limited success. Is there an easier way to get those buds off?

Thanks for all responses.

Well, I think I figured out my own solution. I used a rolling pin and most of the buds came off relatively easily and quickly!

Very smart Angie! Good luck with your sachet. Green Grin!
