Watering Wisdom Dear John: My philosophy has been to give my lawn an almost daily dose of water. Yet it still looks unhealthy. Why: the problem? Dear Garden Guru: You could be following an unsatisfying irri- gation theory. A lawn doesn't want, or need, a watering disci- pline that provides frequent, shal- low soakings. The "golden rule" for residential watering is to water deeply but infrequently, and only when the lawn really needs it. A lawn thirsting for sustenance will fade in color, lose some of its resiliency and suffer from stunted growth. Footprints and mower tracks that remain for several days are sure signs that a lawn needs a long drink to help its root system move deeper into the soil. Dear John: Can you give me some tips for planting my peren- nial seedlings? Dear Chris Anthemum: First, mark the soil with bone meal so you know exactly where to put each plant. Then carefully unpot the plant and dig a hole in the soil large enough for the whole root mass to fit in easily. Next, set the root ball in the hole so the plant sits at the same depth Q ed eo RNC eee ee eee ea Bia [e}ie fe elle as it did in its container. Fill in around the roots with soil, firming lightly. Once the plant is in place, build a small canal around it 5 or 7 cm out from the stem to trap water and direct it downward to the roots. Dear John: My wife wants me to buy a riding mower so she can cut the grass faster when I'm away on business trips. What fea- tures should I look for? Dear Travelling Man: When shopping for a riding mower, ask for a test drive and pay attention to the comfort, maneuverability, performance and convenience of any model you operate. Check the mower for noise, vibration, ease of Steering, stability on slopes and sitting comfort. Also note the ease of starting and the braking ability. And make sure the mower has a short turning radius for trim work. The mower should be simple to operate with controls that are easy to reach and engage. Also look for a switch that stops the engine if the driver leaves the seat while the mower blades are under power. A downward-curving shield on the discharge chute can help to deflect thrown objects. edey ple fel Your dad is special and we want to hear about him.
