Gardening Tips for March
Much to do in March, Spring is the
number one gardening time of year.
|
 
|
Fertilize roses and other flowering
shrubs with Dr. Earth Fertilizers. Grangetto’s
carries a full line of these Organic Fertilizers. |

|
Amend and mulch flower and vegetable
beds to prepare for spring planting. Gardner & Bloome
Planting Mix and Kellogg’s Gromulch
are organic mixes that enrich soil so plants can perform at their
best. |
|
Plant a new lawn or repair an old
one with Grangetto’s Grass Seed. Tall or
Dwarf Fescue Seed supplies year round green turf |
|
  
|
Watch for insects on new spring growth:
-
Aphids and Thrips - Wash foliage with water
from a garden hose. For stronger infestations use Bayer
Advanced Tree and Shrub Insect Control. This is a systemic
that gives 12 months of control.
-
Scale - Use Green Light Horticultural
Oil to control crawlers.
-
Slugs & Snails - Monterey Sluggo
is safe to use around pets and wildlife.
|

|
Water. Rain has been scarce this year so gardens
and new plantings need regular soakings. Adjust sprinkler settings
to reflect temperatures as well as consistent timed applications.
