| Planting |
Dig
hole twice as large as container the plant is in, plus 1 1/2 times
as deep. Mix 1/2 planting mix plus 1/2 existing soil. Backfill the
hole, keeping the plant at approximately the same level it was in
the container. After filling, water the plant with a root
stimulator and plant starter solution. For best results,
repeat application weekly for three weeks. |
| Fertilization |
Apply
tree & shrub food monthly throughout the
growing season. Apply to the drip-line of the shrub or tree &
water-in thoroughly after applying. The tree & shrub
food should contain micro-nutrients to meet your
plant's special requirements. |
| Bug
& Disease Control |
Get
rid of most common bugs and diseases with ferti-lome
Triple-Action PLUS when a problem arises. An additional monthly
application of Di-Syston granules will ward off most
sucking insects. Certain disease problems will require a more
target specific product. For these more difficult diseases, use a
liquid systemic fungicide. Should any other problems arise, please
call your nursery immediately. |
| Weed
Control |
Unwanted
weeds will sap vital nutrients and moisture from the soil. When
preparing a new flower bed, incorporate Hi-Yield Eptam to prevent
listed weeds all season-long. Around existing beds or beds that
can not be properly cultivated, sprinkle with American Brand Weed
& Grass Stopper with Treflan Granules once a month. Kill many
listed grassy-type weeds (such as Bermuda grass) with an
over-the-top grass killer. For all other weeds selectively apply
Hi-Yield Super Concentrate Killzal as needed. Read label
directions before using. |
