What is Don Bird’s (Unit 23) secret to a
beautifully healthy looking garden? It
takes more than a green thumb to make the plants and grass look great. Here are some steps Don recommends:
1. Early Spring (March or April) – Fertilize
2. Summer – No need to fertilize as Gelderman is
scheduled to apply fertilizer
3. Fall – Weed and Feed
4. Water your grass once or twice a week depending on the
weather (1 inch or for approximately one hour)
5. If you would like to give your plants a boost, apply
compost around each plant in the spring.
6. Apply grass seed in the spring or fall to thicken your grass.
