TIP TRAIL		CALENDAR TRAIL
This is a good section. You'll want to print it out. We give you tips on what you need to do monthly to keep your yard, landscaping and garden tools looking great. Here we go..... June, July, August Outdoor Tips- Start preparing your yard for Spring! 1. Keep dead foliage and flowers pruned from your plants. 2. Did you put fertilized soil, like Miracle Grow Potting Mix in your boxes or beds? If so just remember that this will only fertilize for up to three months. If it has been three months or more, you may need to think about additional fertilizer before the heat and dry weather comes along. 3. If you haven't mulched yet there is still time! Mulch with help you conserve water by holding moisture in and also save your back by preventing most of your weeds. 4. Try rearranging your patio or porch furniture! Pulling furniture out from the walls, creating an angle makes spaces seem larger and more inviting. Just a simple rearrange can change a space and it does not cost a dime!! 5. Large scale weed and feeds are great for your lawn but remember that will only kill the seeds or new germinating plants from this season. It will not prevent the weeds from last year from coming back. You need to attack those in the fall. 6. Keep up on that composting!! Make sure that you are turning your pile once every three days while it is cool. When the heat comes on try to turn material about every day to two days to encourage air circulation and even distribution of heat. 7. As you are turning that compost, if you are noticing that the material is loose, dark in color and little or no large pieces of material then you know that you are ready to add this material to your beds! Remember number 2? You will be saving more money by using your compost and not buying fertilizer. Plus you will save the environment by using natural product instead of chemicals!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!! IF YOU HAVE A HUMMINGBIRD FEEDER: KEEP THE FOOD FRESH AND CLEAN YOUR FEEDER! REMEMBER TO KEEP WATER IN YOUR BIRDBATHS. WATER YOUR BUTTERFLIES Butterflies like shallow bowls filled with a watery mud like substance (similar to a mud puddle). The dirt will settle to the bottom and a shallow film of water will form. The soil will allow the butterfly to stand to get a drink but also prevents it from being too deep. Also try putting orange wedges out, they love the juice!
