Seasonal Care

Written by: Paul Knight
Mosquito Control

Use Mosquito Patrol or Mosquito Off to keep mosquitoes, gnats and black flies under control

Design a mosquito trap water garden to lower the mosquito populations. Select your favorite container, fill it with water and add Mosquito Bits. To make it beautiful, add water plants of float cut flowers on the surface.

Seasonal Weeds

Use Round-Up to kill weeds and grasses in brick patios and walks.

Watering

Assuring that plants have the correct amount of water is the single most important step you can take in maintaining a healthy garden. New plants and those growing in containers will dry out faster than mature established plants growing in the ground. Root competition from shade trees may cause soil to dry faster than soil shaded by the house or deck. This is why we follow Merrifield’s Golden Rule to “Check for moisture before you water.”
