Tips help with lawn maintenance @p- assem eennsimee

MAKE NO niistake about it — a
healthy, vigorous, weed-free, in-
sect-free lawn doesn’t get that way
by itself.

It requires proper application of
weed-killers, insecticides and
fungicides (if fungus is a problem
in your area).

Herbicides (weed-killers) gener-
ally are most effective if used when
broadleaved lawn weeds are grow-
ing actively (usually mid to late
spring). They work by making the
weeds ‘‘grow themselves to
death.’”

Fungicides should be applied at
the first signs of a problem.
Fungus is not easy to control —
especially if the disease gets out of
hand.

In al! cases, always follow the
manufacturer’s directions; the
company has gone to a lot of
trouble to determine -- for you —
the most effective way to use its
products.

And don’t make the mistake of
thinking that, “‘if a little is good, a
Iot must be better.’’ Plenty of
lawns — shrubs, flowers and
vegetables, too — have been badly

damaged because of that reason-
ing.

Grass, being a living, growing
plant, needs fertilizing like any-
thing else you grow. Inadequate
feeding is the cause of more lawn
problems than any other factor.

When grass is fed properly for
vigorous growth, it makes such a
thick mat that it leaves no room
for weeds to get started. Healthy
gtass resists disease and insect
damage.

A rule of thumb is to feed your
lawn four times during the growing
season. A most effective way to
feed your lawn is to use a com-
plete, soluole lawn food.

This gives you a ‘‘double-barrel-
ed” feeding. The solution which
remains on the grass blades is ab-
sorbed quickly and goes to wark in
seconds. The balance penetrates
the soil to the roots, which absorb
it.

Subsequent rain — or sprinkling
in the absence of rain — carries
some of the nutrient solution down
to the deeper roots. (An old-
fashioned granular fertilizer must
be thoroughly washed off the
