Over the past few years, many people have found that banking them with processed ' cow or sheep manure will serve this purpose purpose and also build up the soil around the bushes, giving the bush that extra plantfood for the following year, and if you ever want to grow good roses you should try this method.

St. John's Anglican Church Hosts Successful Parish Fair VAN BELLE Fall Roundup Well, this is it, fall has finally begun and with it come the chores which must be done in the fall, to get the garden ready for the winter. Now, after we have had a good frost most of the softer annuals such as the Impatiens are finished for the year and can be removed, although some of the tougher ones have survived survived the frost and can be left for a few weeks until the next frost. The lawn will require a bit of attention, the grass should be mowed once more or if the weather stays warm probably twice, but the idea is to have the lawn go into the winter not too long and not too short, about 1.5 inches long. If left too long it will matt with the winter snows and will cause the grass to suffocate under the heavy matt and will turn the lawn brown, and the same results occur when cut too short, the lawn does not have a chance to survive the hard frost. Fall feeding is probably one of the most important of all the feeding throughout the year. The University of Guelph has just finished a very complex study on the best time to apply lawn food to the lawn and also What analysis analysis is the best. This study surprised the experts by coming with a recommendation recommendation that goes exactly against the usual type of plant food. They recommend that we use a high Nitrogen fertilizer (this is the first number on the fertilizer formula) and they have found that the nitrogen will build up in the leaf tissues of the grass blades and become available as soon as the temperature rises in the spring. This also helps the lawn to survive the winter better since the nitrogen is available when it is needed and will stop the lawn from coming through the winter in a dehydrated brown condition, and will get the growth action earlier in the season. They also found that the best time is to apply this lawnfood after the first frost since then it will pnly be used as storage and ndt make the lawn grow this fall. So, now is the perfect time to get some of this fertilizer fertilizer on the lawn. We get more calls, up to 30 a day, about how to look after the roses and how to protect them for the coming winter months. Most of the damage is done to the roses by two weather elements, the wind and the cold. First, the wind will dry the canes, secondly the frost will do exactly the same thing. The frost will dehydrate the sap in the cambian layer and then, of course, the canes will not carry any sap, causing the bush to die. You will notice that roses planted on the south side of the house will survive the winter better than the ones on the north side of the house, as you will notice the severe northwest northwest wind is stopped, and also the heat from the sun will build up the heat and will give you better conditions to get them through the winter. To help them to survive the winter, you can build up the earth around the bush and bank them around the canes to a height of 8 to 10 inches. This will protect the bottom part of the bush. Then in the spring Off £ This crowd of shoppers indicates the success of the St. John's Anglican Church Parish Fair held Saturday, October 23.
