Custom gut load using bulk dried herbs!

[Chellia]

I run a candle and tea shop and I have about thirty different kinds of dry, organic herbs that I can use for gutloading. I'm not too sure what would be appropriate for worms and roaches/crickets.

Any other stuff I may need to buy to mix in I can do, I'd just like a general idea of what I CAN use, and the appropriate quantites if known.

I know plenty of this is probably unsafe, but if anything is safe on this list I would love to use it

On a side note, what is a good base for worm food, and what is a good base for roach/cricket food?

Here is my list!

* Angelica

* Barley

* Bay Leaf

* Burdock

* Caraway Seeds

* Catnip

* Chamomile

* Cinnamon

* Comfrey

* Fenugreek

* Hawthorn

* Hibiscus

* Holy Thistle

* Lavender

* Marjoram

* Mugwort

* Patchouli

* Pennyroyal

* Peppermint

* Rosemary

* Rose Hips

* Rosemary

* Sage

* Thyme

Hibisicus is safe and probably one of the most loved dried flowers out there. I dry my own hibiscus flowers and feed them in my gutload. Rose hips are also totally safe, and I am pretty sure chamomile is.

I am pretty sure lavender is too. Though not positive.
