We encourage and aid many a client in establishing a home compost pile and the maintenance and upkeep thereof.
If you are growing parsley, dill, or fennel this year, chances are you’ve noticed a few small caterpillars gnawing at your plants, depending on where you are. These caterpillars are known as parsley worms, and turn into gorgeous black swallowtails (which are the state butterfly of New Jersey).
