Planting field-grown trees in the garden

In this process, less than 20 percent of the tree's feeder roots are retained in the ball. In my opinion, buying B&B trees is a gamble with success measured in the time the gardener is willing to spend in planting and care during the first few years


Cool season vegetables make a tasty treat

Nearly all the cool season fall vegetables are heavy nitrogen feeders. They require regular applications (every four weeks) of a nitrogen fertilizer such as Urea, Ammonium Sulfate, pelleted chicken manure or Cotton Seed Meal.


How to Deal With Self-Centered People

Their agenda is to find an ego feeder. They may have found ways to attract a lot of people into their world, but usually the ones who feed into their arrogance. 3. They feel incomplete. That is why they use other people to fill up the inner gap. 4.


Try autumn sage to attract hummingbird visitors

I've never had another feeder, and over the years I learned that one plant was a powerful draw year round: Autumn sage. The species is Salvia greggii, native to elevated gravelly soils from Texas deep into Mexico. Its value as a landscape plant for hot


Garden Solutions - July 2011

Tip for the month of July-Sit Back and Relax!!  For many of us, the 4th of July date marks the beginning of the entertainment season.  And what a season it is!   We plan, we phone, we shop, we decorate, we mow, we clean, we check supplies, we shop again, we cook, we carry lawn chairs and coolers outside, and we fret about the weather.  When the guests arrive it all starts over.  Pouring, serving, clearing, fetching, and recycling can fill hours, if we let them.  So part of the planning needs to include ways to have some time for you to sit back and enjoy your party, too.  Maybe an e-mail sent to everyone with one push of the button can replace two hours of phone calls.  Making your event a potluck will eliminate much of the shopping and cooking.  Be sure to have everyone bring their own beverages, table service and lawn chairs.  And finally, don't mow.  Your lawn will do better with foot traffic if it is left a little bit longer.  With all that settled, all that's left for you to do is enjoy a good time!  Now that we have talked about having parties and enjoying your yard and garden at home, let's get down to other tasks at hand for July.

Ross 14680 Tree and Shrub Root Feeder Refills, 54-Pack | Garden ...

by Garden Kitchen

This seems to be the perfect compliment to the deep root feeder but I was unprepared for the number of tablets I needed to use for each tree.

The box contains 54 tablets and I needed to use 3 at each of the 6 feeding spots at the drip line – a total of 18 for one tree alone. It was a surprise but now that I know it’s fine.

This product is easy to use, very beneficial for trees, both new and established. I have used it to save 3 trees in my yard from disease and gumbo clay soil. You can see results in a very short period of time, by the leaves being more supple, greener and more resilient to dry weather summer stress in the Midwest. It is best used in the early spring, April in zones 5 & 6. Would recommend its use to anyone.
