Burning the slash left behind after a logging operation isn't the only method for getting rid of it. Among the alternatives are piling but not burning, "forestry mulching," creating biochar and doing nothing.
Q: I grew several plants outside this last summer Rosemary, Geranium, etc. When I brought them in for winter it seems I now have fungus gnats in all my houseplants. Please give advice. I would prefer not to use chemicals but am getting desperate.
