Lawn Care You've fertiiized and controlled the weeds and insects so your lawn should be looking the best it ever bas. Remem- ber, water is important for a most outstanding Iawn. When it hasn't rained for a few days, get the sprinkler going. Don't just give it a light sprinkIing; get the water down at Ieast three to six inches into the soil. How are you going to tell when you've gotten that much water down to the root systemn?

RENT A CARI $14 95 aday 668-8000 ops e' Brewers Retailg Creative design and Iayouts for newsletters, advertisements. Fast ancd efficient service MI "spud" them out, or use Vigoro Weed-N-Feed. You can spot-treat the weeds, whiile the plant food stimulates the grass to fil in. It takes time to build a good lawn, but it does give you a great deal of satisfaction having the best lawn on your street. Hedges Keep hedges in control with pruning. h mrakes themn look attractive and keeps the bottom growth fult. Nothing looks worse than a very tait hedge out of controt. It won't hurt the hedge to be cut back one third, For exampte if it is six feet, cut two feet off the top and the bottom wiil fil out. One thing I like to do, earty this mnonth, is side dress the hedge with Vigoro Evergreen fertitizer, then gentty scratch it into the soit and water well. Spraying is important to control insects that are flot seen until the damage is done, so a regular spraying of water soluble insecticides is recommended. Other than mildew, very few fungi wili attack a hedge. Privet is one that does require regutar spraying with a good insecticide and should be done every ten days for compiete control. ]Break Ground If you've found your vegetabte garden flot large enough, now is the time to dig over an area and let it fatiow. Work in somne organic matter to make for good soit husbandry. Vigoro bas a weed-free, well-composted sheep manure that does wonders for the soi]. Enjoy your garden during this period of the year, you've worked at it, it's producing, and it mnakes you feel good knowîng that you've made it grow. If you have any questions, write te, me at the Garden In- formation Centre, 165 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario MSH 3B8, enclosing a stamped self addressed envelope.
