September Means: Welcoming the fall season!
And the winner is...
 

  This summer, we wanted to do something a little different. We held a grand giveaway contest so that one of our lucky followers could win their choice between a fire pit, a pergola, a mailbox, or a water feature, custom designed and installed by us!  Well, the contest is now over, and we're excited to announce our winners!

Ericka Marshall and Logan Foust! 
 
Ericka and Logan are high school sweet hearts, both students, first time home owners, and hard working individuals. They have chosen to have us design and install a pergola for their back yard which is an excellent choice since there isn't an abundance of trees or shade in their lawn. We're sure their two dogs will enjoy it! Ericka and Logan, it was a pleasure to meet you both and we can't wait to get started on your project. Thank you for supporting Earthadelic!
Summertime Blues...
by Paul Dickinson

Late summer has earned its reputation as the 'dog days': oppressive heat and humidity, no more vacations to look forward to, and the endless build-up to "Football Time in Tennessee'.  No wonder so many of us get the Summertime Blues!

A season change is upon us, but that doesn't mean you should stop taking care of your lawn. If you want a lush green yard for next spring, now is the optimal time to begin preparing!

September Gardening Tips:
  • Allow plants to finish the summer growth cycle in a normal manner. Never encourage new growth with heavy applications of fertilizer or excessive pruning this late in the season. Plants will not properly harden off and new growth can be injured by an early freeze. (Via UT Gardens)
  • Divide and re-pot any tropicals you have outdoors to prepare them for their winter home. Hose off or wash plants with soapy water and inspect them for insects. If needed, treat them with an appropriate insecticide. Imidacloprid, the active ingredient in many of the new insecticides, is a good systemic for insect control. It can be mixed with water and poured on the soil and the plant will take it up. (Via UT Gardens)
