Dormant Spray & Bulb Fertilizing
Feb 2nd, 2009 Posted in Yard Happenings | no comment »Hey gardeners! Just a quick reminder that you are almost out of time to get that dormant spray on your trees and shrubs. I went out and took care of my fruit trees, ornamental cherries, deciduous shrubs and Japanese Maples today with a oil lime sulfur spray that I mix from concentrate in a spray bottle. It doesn’t take much time, but it helps keep away the fungus and bugs come spring. This is a MUCH more effective and MUCH less toxic way of taking care of business than anything you can do once growing season starts.
Oh, and I noticed that my spring bulbs are starting to pop up and reach for the sun. It’s a good idea to sprinkle a little bulb fertilizer now to help them along. It can make a big difference in daffodils and tulips.
