The problem is the continuing spread of bad information by a few garden

newspapers, magazines, press releases, and books


You could add television to that list, too.
My pet irritant is the idea that fresh herbs can be preserved safely in oils (just like vinegar).  I have seen this idea promoted in the top Herb Magazine (fall 01) and on several television programs.  Doing a quick google search produces several wonderful sounding herbal oil recipes and only one mentioned botulsm. 

A little knowledge can be deadly in this case!
