Witman Box 501 Apple & Roberts Streets Ephrata, PA 17522 717-733-7917 or 717-665-5735 Tips given for Azalea fanciers azaleas may lose most of their leaves during the winter. But they always retain a few around their flower buds. In fact, says Dunham, many of the more winter-hardy evergreen varieties lose most of their leaves. Evergreen azaleas begin flowering late April and early May. They’re covered with a mass of flowers when in bloom. Azaleas need a well drained acid soil with organic matter if they’re to do well. The site should be protected from sharp wind and if there is high shade overhead for half the day (preferably in the afternoon), so much the better. Drainage is the first considration in preparing the soil for planting azaleas These shrubs won’t tolerate poorly drained clay soils.

Add enough of this improved soil so that the grade is several inches higher than the existing soil level. Next, plant “high” so that azaleas are no deeper than in their original location, or even set them higher and make up the dif ference with mulch Small plants can be spaced 2-3 feet apart, but mature shrubs will require 4-6 feet spacing. Add a 2-3 mch layer of permanent mulch after planting. This can be wood chips, leaf mold, orpine needles. Be sure to water plants well after setting them out and whenever Hard water wastes energy LITTLE BRITAIN - It is not necessary to have to use poor quality water in your home. the weather is dry during the summer. Azaleas can be pur chased and planted when they’re in flower. This way you can choose the exact colors you want. But says Duhnam, it’s always best to stick to tune tested varieties. There are a number of good cultivators. Azaleas should be fertilized with care especially small plants. Dunham says organic or soluble fertilizers are best applied early in the spring before growth starts. For additional in formation, call your county extension office and ask for a copy of USDA Home and Garden Bulletin No. 71, “Growing Azaleas and Rhododendrons.” Chemical compounds that cause hardness, bad odor, rusty water, and stains on sinks and bathtubs can be removed or changed to eliminate these problems, says N. Henry Wooding, ex tension agricultural engineer at Penn State. In addition to the extra soap or detergent required for laundry purposes another problem that can be attributed to hard water is the lime encrustations on furnace heating coils and electric water heaters. The build-up of this material restricts the flow of hot water and wastes the energy used to heat the water. Wooding explains. If you have problems that you believe are related to water quality, ask your water con ditioning dealer for a sample bottle and have the water tested. ~ Tips (Continued from Page 030) making’” “Does this fit in with what I already know?” “How does this apply to my operations?” “What changes would this require at home?” “Will it pay?” Don’t hurry away. Seek out the speakers that you want more information from. Visit with others present - farmers, universities staff, company people, etc. Follow through. When you get home, check through handout material you received. Review your notes and pictures. Glean out the most valuable facts and ideas.
