Menasha, WI has developed a rain garden in front of the Gilbert office building at 400 Ahnaip st. It is a collaborative project between the Menasha Sustainability Committee, East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning commission staff, developer Randy Stadtmuller of Neenah and some local businesses. Their goal is to teach the public how the rain gardens work. The work was completed in the autumn of 09 and signage explaining the process will be finished in the spring of 2010.

Horticulture committee meeting of NGC on Oct. 2 reported that a spray of made of 1 tbl castor oil, 1 tbl liquid soap and 1 gallon water will deter bugs on roses. There is some evidence that this concoction sprayed where there are voles will deter these critters.

When planting bulbs in the fall, fill your tulip and daffodil holes with sharp gravel. These bulbs come from rocky soils and appreciate good drainage. Moles and voles don’t like the gravel.
