November, 2006

Winter Fertilizer

November is the month that we switch to the winter fertilizer, GreenAll Ultra Bloom on Azaleas, Camellias, Rhododendrons, all Citrus and Orchids. The Ultra Bloom is the winter fertilizer for fruit, flower and root development and is applied monthly until March.

Finch Stock Feeder

Did you know that you could attract birds to your deck, patio or yard without any plants? The Finch Sock Feeder is an ideal bird feeder for attracting the smaller species. The Finch Sock Feeder uses Thistle Seed. Blue Jays and other perching birds are not a problem, as they prefer other types of seeds. The cloth feeders are refillable and the seed that falls to the ground will not sprout.

Stop Weeds

You can prevent all the unwanted grasses and other vegetation next spring by applying Monterey Weed Stopper in the fall. Weed Stopper or Impede is sprayed right over rooted plants and ground covers without harming them as well as on bare ground. It is available pre mixed in a hose end applicator or in a concentrate form for large areas. Weed Stopper or Impede stops the weeds before they can begin.

Peach Leaf Curl

Navlet's recommends a fall application of Microcop and Sta-Stuk for Peach Leaf Curl Applied now; Microcop and Sta-Stuk control the spores of Peach Leaf Curl in the cracks and crevices of Peach and Nectarine trees. With cool temperatures, the tree bark constricts so the spores are shielded from dormant sprays. Microcop and Sta-Stuk makes a difference in controlling this headache.

Feed Your Lawn

It's not to late feed your lawn with GreenAll Fall and Winter Feed. Fall is the most important time of the year to feed turf. This is when grasses rejuvenate itself for the following year. A second benefit is that you'll keep the grass green all winter long, avoiding the yellow brown color. GreenAll Fall and Winter Feed provides all nutrients to keep you grass healthy.

Wild Flower Seeds

Fall is the time to Sow Wild Flower Seeds. The Clyde Robin Wildflower Mix contains 17 varieties of both annuals and perennial species for a long blooming season year after year. All you need to do is scratch the surface, sow the seed, cover it with native soil or NSCP and let mother nature do the rest of the work. The Clyde Robin Wildflower Mix is a beautiful addition to any yard.
