On the next “Gardening in Georgia” April 30 on Georgia Public
Television, host Walter Reeves will focus on the proper, safe
ways to store garden chemicals.

Reeves will join Paul Guillebeau, an entomologist with the
University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental
Sciences, for some pointers on storing pesticides.

Never put chemicals in drink bottles or food containers,
Guillebeau says. Others may easily mistake the pesticide for a
food or drink. Reeves stresses storing chemicals in a place that
can be locked, so small children can’t get into it.

Both Reeves and Guillebeau urge gardeners to read pesticide
labels before buying and using them.

“Gardening in Georgia” is produced by GPTV and the CAES. It airs
each Saturday at 12:30 and 7 p.m.
