“Organic Pest
Controls” at Library
Join Janell Weiss at the Greenville Public Library for her second
workshop on Thursday June 11th at 6:30. Janell works for the
Darke Soil & Water Conservation District and spoke on “Saving
Seeds” in May. This time she will tell us how to control garden
pests without using harsh chemicals. Call 548-3915 to reserve a
seat or join on our Facebook event page.
Janell first began experimenting with organic pest controls when she
was a sustainable agriculture Peace Corps Volunteer in Panama and
“hordes of insects gobbled up my precious veggies.” Later as an
employee at Green Edge Acres, an organic vegetable farm near Athens
Ohio, Janell had the opportunity to learn much more about organic pest
management.
In her Power Point presentation she will discuss common garden pests
and organic control methods for each. Participants will receive
handouts with pictures of such pests as aphids, beetles, moths,
flies, and worms that do damage - and instructions on how to handle
them.
While in the Library stop by the Seed Library - it’s not too late to
plant! Refreshments will be served.
