Eliminating Unwanted Winter Guests
Are you starting to notice a growing number of little gnats flying about your houseplants this time of year? They can appear no matter how careful you were last fall when you brought in plants that had spent the summer outside. Though they are annoying, there are ways to manage these little critters that may have hitchhiked into your home.
Learn what conditions encourage fungus gnats to make their home in your plants and how to break the cycle and treat these infestations. Check out our newest entry on the Gardening Tips page!

Asian Jumping Worms: Invasive Species Reports
Wisdom tells us that earthworms are good for the soil. They improve drainage and aeration, increase nutrients, and enhance soil structure. While this may be true of some earthworm species, a family of more recently introduced earthworms are changing how we look at worms. Jumping worms are an invasive earthworm introduced to North America from eastern Asia. They have the potential to dramatically change soil structure, impact forest ecology, and reduce biodiversity. And they are present here in New Hampshire.
Learn how to look out for this species and help prevent their spread in the reference section of our Resources and Links page!
