Let's talk for a minute about watering. . .

Early watering of trees and shrubs can be crucial to things you planted last year, or the year before, especially if the season was dry. If your plants have been out of snow cover for a while, and especially if they are on the south side of your house or a fence, they could need […]

Let's talk for a minute about fertilizing. . .

Fertilizing ranks as one of the most important of early season chores for all growing things.

And, volunteer plants, seeded from last year’s garden, won’t be coming up where you don’t want them. Hi-Yield’s Turf and Ornamental Weed & Grass Stopper is […]

Let's talk for a minute about spraying fruit trees. . .

Fruit trees need a lot of care if you want them to produce a bumper crop of insect free fruit. Fruit trees need to be pruned to really produce, and fertilizing is also a great idea if you want a high quality fruit. A low nitrogen fertilizer such as 16-16-16 is wonderful for fruit trees […]
