Pine straw fires and water hyacinth risks in Craven County
Craven County residents are urged to guard against pine straw mulch fires after a recent Sun Journal report described a blaze that damaged two condominiums. Possible causes include hot exhaust, fireworks, or cigarette material. The piece also warns about water hyacinth proliferation seen in nearby states and asks local readers to report any overwintered plants to 633 1477. Mike Price, master gardener, will lead a free vegetable garden workshop this Saturday at the agricultural building, with tips on summer color and cool-season planning. Tom Glasgow of the Craven County Cooperative Extension Service provides context on weed control and garden care.
