Integrated Pest Management Techniques

Volunteer Thompson Shuswap Master Gardeners use Integrated Pest Management techniques with regular monitoring of the MacDonald Park Public Produce Garden. They've been monitoring the aphid damage on the currants, hoping that lady beetles might lay their eggs.  Tonight Vicky blasted the aphids with a strong spray of water to dislodge the aphids from the underside of the currant leaves.

Master Gardeners Charyle & Vicky transplanting donated mint plants. Mint is set out in bottom-less pots to stop it  from spreading.
