Fertilizing
Early Fall is an excellent time
to fertilize the lawn and many
turf areas have already been fer
tilized; in some cases a weed
control herbicide can be used
with the fertilizer I’d like to
present a word of caution in the
use of these weed control mater
ials There is little question that
they will control many weeds
but some of them may also be
washed into the soil and down
aiound the roots of trees and
slnubs and do damage Home
owners are urged to read the in
sti uctions and follow them care
fully. some materials should not
be used under any tiee or shmb
Serious damage to trees has been
experienced in some areas If
plants show herbicide damage,
there-us little .that can be .done
to stop the absorption of the
chemical, they can be kept well
watered and fertilized early in
the Spring
