March 2010 Newsletter
(Helpful Tips)
1. The temperatures have reached the high 40-50 degrees and it’s nice to go out and work in the yard. DO NOT hard rake or dethatch the lawn at this time. The action of this will do more harm than good. The roots are water logged at this time and will tear with the rake.
2. Start picking up fallen branches/pine cones/ twigs and large leaf piles off your lawn at this time if you haven’t already.
3. You can apply an organic Fertilizer or Step 1 Fertilizer equivalent at this time after you have picked up items mentioned in (Tip #2)
4. Prepare your garden beds at this time for vegetables. DO NOT plant them at this time. Only turn the soil.
5. Take inventory of your lawn/garden tools and replace/repair any non-working items.
6. The winter season can be harsh on trees so make note of any problem trees that need to be addressed for pruning or removal.
Hope these tips were helpful!
