The Buzz Around Wayne County

23 The Buzz Around Wayne County June 2019 JULY GARDENING TIPS LAWN Recycle your clippings as you mow instead of bagging and discarding them. Returning these clippings to the lawn saves time, energy and money. Grass clippings contain 4% nitrogen, 1% phosphorous, 3% potassium and smaller amounts of other essential nutrients Install a rain sensor to your irrigation system to avoid watering during or immediately after rain. Adjust irrigation applications according to rainfall, so that a total of 1″ of water is applied each week. TREES, SHRUBS AND FLOWERS A second application of slow release fertilizer is needed in mid summer for containers and flower beds. Reduce the mosquito population by emptying standing water. Mosquito larvae need only a small amount of water to grow. Empty any open container of water, including saucers under plants and birdbaths, every two or three days to prevent larvae from reaching maturity. FRUIT, VEGETABLES AND HERBS If you are growing herbs, remember to harvest before they flower for peak flavor or aroma. Pick herbs in the morning when the dew has dried off, when the aroma will be the most intense. Keep tomato plants mulched and evenly moist to reduce blossom end rot and cracking.
