Tick Protection & Lyme Disease Prevention

Year-Round Gardening host Tom Butzler standing next to an enlarged image of a tick.

And Lyme isn’t the only disease to worry about. This episode of Year-Round Gardening gives a quick primer on the types of ticks, and most importantly how to minimize your risk of exposure in the woods and in your own yard.
