I don’t know if anyone realizes this or maybe you forgotten, but there is a very good very cheap bug repellent skin so soft from Avon the bugs hate it It’s an oil, but they also have a lotion I put that on, and I have no bugs for hours.
GREAT IDEA… but I would just fill the big pot with rocks and set the smaller one in the center and save about $15-$20 for the smaller pot and the glue plus tax 😂😂😂..
First, Sages smoke is supposed to be repellant to mosquitoes too. Second, clay is POROUS, you cannot use candles in it without sealing it first because it can soak up the wax and then you have an exploding pot on your hands - maybe literally. So lighter fluid? Sounds like a REALLY BAD idea! The rest is interesting, just not in that type of container. I personally would not add the lavender, but I'm allergic. Another one I saw recently, though very different from your setup, just used cheap cooking oil. (Still wouldn't use it in anything porous.)
