Ike Em Out Wed Sep Setting up a garden for your new home dust surrounding home may seem to be a of monstrous propor tion especially to the young couple whove never gardened before Further more theyve probably ex tended their rather meagre resources to the limit in making the down payment and buying the additional furniture in the move from an apartment to a bouse My advice would be to set up a fiveyear plan tor the landscaping with the work being done by the new homeowners or by a qualified landscape the foundation bed Six evergreens are usually suf ficient for the front of any subdivision bulbs home This will not only give them room to grow but will allow space for the smallerflowering shrubs annuals and springbloom gardener the lawn Sodding costs onethird than seeding but this extra cost should be balanced against tbe fact that you have an immediae lawn that can be used three or four weeks after its put Whether you sod or seed the preparation of the soil is the same Seed- ached out 20 to 25 feet into the surrounding garden Most homes have foundation beds on all sides of the house These help to blend the house the early to tbe adjacent landscape frost adds By Al Wall Agricultural Representative for York County started now with good Every extra day without J the feed value have escaped most of the corn problems here in York We have only a low incidence of things like leaf blight and rootworm compared to counties far ther south Stalk breakage is probably our biggest worry Corn borers generally get the blame for this and they deserve some of it but the real culprit is a fungus disease stalk rot Decay of the crown and lower nodes develops as the corn matures and if borer injury is added to note the fields additive for silage is available this year It is called a liquid form of protein tabling some minerals too The protein and early fall Sodding be done any time dun the growing season nurserygrown sod tha any lawn mixture that you might buy Ask the sod man or to provide grass A pure stand of variety of grass can lead to trouble if disease strikes subdivisions where any of the existing trees have been retained and nearly every lot needs trees imme diately None of tbe worth- While trees are fast grow ers and if an average six to eightfoot tree is plant ed even during the first year of garden little or no shade can be expected during the next 15 years The only satisfact ory answer to the problem is to have a firm of reput able tree experts move in two or more 20foot speci men trees during the fall winter or early spring In the past this could only be cattle The rate is pounds per ton and the for a steer eating pounds of silage per day would cost just over three cents So its a cheaper protein source than dry con- centrales but total feed intake will likely be a little less widened the plan- making the feeding period longer Organic adds for storing wet grain done during the months but modern tree- moving equipment has ting be considered on many farms this fall There products available in York now can be obtain ed through BP dealers and Chemstor through Coops and T PAUL DOLAN Such trees will cost anywhere from to each including the moving and planting The price may seem expensive but its really a bargain when you consider what they add to the beauty of i six the property and its resale of the foundation bed and the building of a compost box Privacy is a must CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF NEWMARKET BYLAW NUMBER 197041 A BYLAW TO PROVIDE FOR THE CLOS ING OF PART OF MAIN STREET FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC FOR A TEMPOR ARY PERIOD rant H Blight in the modem day Everyone relaxes plays or entertains around the patio the swimming pool or on the lawn Pri vacy in the garden Is best provided by hedges of liv ing plants In new subdivi sions its always an excel lent plan for neighbours to band together and jointly plant a hedge along a com mon property line The cost of the hedge materials and the planting would be cut in half In any case room should be left on both sides of the hedge so that cultiv ating clipping fertilizing and other maintenance can be carried out Any plant materi al chosen for use as a hed ge should have short fibrous roots which wont grow out into the garden to rob it of muchneeded plant food and Chinese elm whose and soften its harsh archi tectural lines Most beds are far too narrow and fol low closely tbe straight lines of the architecture For best effect they should sweep beyond the corners than six feet and eight feet or more would be bet ter Such a width would al low room for the ever greens to be placed the necessary minimum Since evergreens are on the expensive side Id suggest that for the first year tbe foundation beds be filled wih inexpen sive annuals A small out lay of money for bedding plants fertilizer and humus will create a colorful dis play of flowers that will be the envy of neighbours and friends At the same time soil will be getting in shape for evergreens and shrubs There are few garden soils anywhere in Ontario that contain suffi cient humus Success in gardening depends to a lar ge extent on the soil con taining plenty of humus and plant food Unfortunate ly humus is becoming har der to obtain and more ex pensive with each passing year A home compost box is the answer and the can be constructed and put to use In the garden the better The new small- size decorative concrete patio blocks can be used to form the sides and ends of the box Make it six feet long four feet wide and high with one end left op en It will need neither top nor bottom If all the leafygreen material from one seasons garden and kitchen Is added to the box two tons of the best kind of humus will be ready for the Grass clippings all leaves except oak car rot beet and all
