Always meant to have a look when my mrs was given a pot
Just to find out more about it
So Google brings up this
Buchu is a plant from South Africa. The leaf is used to make medicine.
Buchu is used for urinary tract infections (UTIs), including infections involving the urethra (urethritis) and kidneys (pyelonephritis). It is also used by mouth for treating inflamed prostate (prostatitis), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), high blood pressure, fever, cough, common cold, upset stomach, stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gout, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Buchu is applied to the skin as an insect repellant, as a deodorant, and for skin infections.
In manufacturing, the oil from buchu is used to give a fruit flavor (often black currant) to foods. It is also used as a fragrance in perfumes and colognes.

Yep, and Buchu was used in the original Dave Thorpe 'Green Beast' flavour.
If you find the first big chat between Kenny Gates and Kev Ellis on YouTube, Kenny goes into Buchu in some detail. Very interesting film.

I do like the sound of those base mixes particularly the milk one. No plans to start selling rolled bait for us lot that can't roll our own bait, my excuse is I'm useless at it with the added bonus my Mrs would have me out on my ear
