Subj : Gardening Tricks To : ALL From : Mike Dippel Date : Mon Mar 01 2021 22:00:34 Does anybody remember Jerry Baker, the Master Gardener? I used to watch his news segments years ago where he talked about ways to make lawn care easy. He said to use a hose end sprayer to mix ammonia with water to spray your bushes as a Spring tonic. He said to wear a pair of golf spikes when mowing to help aerate the lawn. He also said to water the lawn long enough to soak the roots, but not too often. In the springtime, if you have a patch of dead grass that has ruts, mix grass seed in with the black dirt and then simply pour it into the rut. Because the dirt has grass seed all throughout, it has a better potential to grow. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v7.0 * Origin: The Hobby Line! BBS (3:640/1116) .
