Milky Spore for Japanese Beetles
|
Now is the best time to treat Japanese beetle grubs
|
Japanese Beetle larvae live in the soil, feeding on tender grass roots. At this time of year, an abundance of beetle grubs are enjoying the warm soils, chewing grass roots in preparation for winter. 1,000 adult beetles will lay 50,000 grubs each year. Milky Spore, more accurately called "milky disease", is a naturally occurring soil organism which will infect and destroy grubs, and no other creatures, in the soil. Applications of Milky Spore disease to your lawns right now will help diminish the beetle population next season.

Fall Lawn Care: Fertilize Now
|
Support root growth now for optimal Spring health
Early Fall is the very best time of year to
fertilize your lawn! Giving your lawn a chance to build stamina before Winter will yield a greener lawn in the Spring. If you can only fertilize once a year, now is the most effective time to do it. If you like to fertilize three times a year to strengthen your turf, build your fertilization schedule around these holidays: an application around Labor Day, another application around Halloween, and a Spring application around May Day, May 1st.
Don't forget to fertilize your gardens one more time before you put the hoses away for the winter, too! Our large bagged, earth-friendly fertilizer is now 35% off!

Fall is an excellent time to plant trees, shrubs and perennials! The soils are warm, so the roots will establish better now than in the Spring! In our growing region, it is usually safe to plant through October 15th, and sometimes even later than that! Not sure what to plant where? Join us at GrowHaus for our Fruit and Shade tree walk-abouts on Wednesdays from 4 - 5 pm.
Sept. 19th: Fruit Trees; Sept. 26th: Shade Trees.
Visit our Events page
for more details.

Plants of the Month:
Native Grasses and Hops
|
There are so many benefits of planting native grasses in your landscape, it's a great idea to locate areas to plant them this Fall! They reduce soil erosion, attract songbirds, feed butterflies, and need no fertilizer, among other low-maintenance benefits.
|
Little Bluestem,
Schizachyrium scoparium
|
Hops plant, Humulus Lupulus
If you need to create an interesting vertical privacy screen, pergola decoration, or ground cover, consider growing hops! All you need is a sunny location, well-drained soil, and enough space for them to grow. Developing like grape-vines, hops will grow vertically, up to 25 feet high, or, they can be grown horizontally for ground cover. Allow three feet between plants, to give them room to grow. We carry both ornamental and brew-worthy hop plants.
