On Thursday, July 17, at 5:30 PM, Kachemak Bay Campus in Homer will offer a FREE class in garden maintenance.

Casey Matney of the UAF Cooperative Extension Service will talk about some of the most common pests in Alaska gardens - slugs, root maggots, and other insect pests. We'll go over their life cycles, how to spot their signs in the garden, and methods to control them. See signs in person and learn how to set yourself up for success this season or in the future through effective, organic methods.

Class begins in Bayview Hall room 102 and moves to the KBC high tunnel across the parking lot. Offered in partnership with Homer Soil and Water Conservation District and UAF Cooperative Extension.
