Oregano <in the general sense> would make a decent hedge. Cuban Oregano
however, spreads out while it grows-defeating that purpose.
Cuban Oregano smells great, but is a bit difficult to cook with unless you
use a spice bag. It has thick leaves that do not freeze or dry well.
Probably better as a potpourie<sp>.
