It’s Time To Fertilize Lawns
By Mark Barnett
TEXAS CERTIFIED NUMERT FROFESSIONAl.
CHINA SPRING - If you have
not fertilized your lawn in a few
months, now is a good time to do
it The weather is not too hot and
normally it would not be too dry.
It is still dry despite recent rains,
so you will still need to water af-
ter the application
St. Augustine lawns took a beat-
ing in most areas this winter and
wul need a little pampenng this
year I am not recommending the
use of high nitrogen fertilizers on
St. Augustine lawns I am recom-
mending the FVrtilome Classic 16-
4-6 slow-reiease lawn food that will
help prevent the excessive growth
that will lead to the buildup of
thatch (dead grass under the
greepjzrass).
Another good choice to use on
the ftbn is Hi Yield 15-5-10 lawn
food. Still another choice to use is
the organic based lawn and plant
foods. The organic products are
not only low nitrogen and slow re-
lease, they have organic com-
pounds to help break down the
thatch buildup
Flowering plants need to be fer
tilized as well Fortulace and most
other summer flowering plants
perform much better with a regu
iar feeding You can use the water
sq|uble types that are mixed and
poured on or the spray on variety
You just need to us - them fre
quently, as in every week.
If you want a granulated prod-
uct, then try Ftertilome Start and
Grow, it’s a slow release fertilizer
that dissolves a little every time
you water and you need to apply it
only once a month. It is designed
to work from the start of the plant
to the finish of the plant. Another
product is the organic soil food
that feeds the soil and the plant. If
you prefer water soluble products,
try Ftertilome Blooming and Root-
ing for all your ornamental plants
Happy Gardening!

‘Prettiest Yard’ In The Gap
C RAN FILLS GAP - The home
of Abraham and Mary Martinez
was recently selected as the
“Prettiest Yard in the Gap” by the
2002judges.
“The overall appearance, color-
ful pots, and yard ornaments are
outstanding," said one judge. “The
wishing well and wheelbarrow
overflowing with colorful plants, in
addition to the attractive side yard
with its heart shaped wreath
made of twigs, make a delightful
picture The railroad ties lining
flower-beds gives the landscape a
pleasing aspect.”
Yards selected as runner-up
were those of Jo Olson and
Thelma Grimland.
“Both are neat as a pin, with
houses surrounded with flowers
and greenery. In a year when rain-
fall has been sparse and the
streets invaded by the addition of
a new sewer system, gardening
has been a definite challenge. All
gardeners are to be congratulated
for their hard work," another
judge remarked
In addition to the hones chosen
as outstanding this year, many other
attractive yards may be spied din-
ing travels around the Gap
‘The committee wishes to thank
all who wok so hard to make our
town an attractive place to live and
visit,” said a spokesman for the
contest. This year’s judges in-
cluded Iris Hodges, Ruth "flicker,
and Betty Tindall.

SAN ANTONIO - The an-
nouncement that the State of Ibxas
will receive nearly $4.6 million dol-
lars from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture as part of an
effort to beef up state defenses
against foreign animal and plant
diseases is welcome news to Tfexas
farmers and ranchers, said Donald
Patman, president of the Texas
Fferm Bureau.
“The threat of a foreign disease
like foot and mouth is all too real for
Texas livestock producers,"
Patman said. “Such a disease could
devastate the industry. These funds
will be used as a frontline defense
against foot and mouth disease and
other animal and plant diseases
that could wreak havoc on Ttexas ag
riculture.”
The $4.6 million allocated to
Ttacas — part of $43.4 million in na-
tionwide state grants to strengthen
homelaixl security preparedness-
was announced recently in San An
tonio by U.S. Congressman Henry
Bonilla, chairman of the subcoin
mittee that funds USDA, and USDA
Undersecretary of Agriculture Bill
Hawks
Hawks said $1.8 million will go to
the Lone Star State for emergency
preparedness, $456 million will go
to animal dif ease surveillance;
6300,000 will go for plant disease
detection; andi$2 miffion will go for
rapid detection and diagnostic
work.
Historical^, USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service has
been responsible for diagnosis of
foreign animal disease in this coun-
try Currently onjy one lab in Naw
Ybrk can confirm a disease such as
acting in partnership with key agri-
cultural states like Texas, would
speed up response time during a for
etgn disease outbreak, where timety
action is critical.
The funds are part of the supple
mental defense appropriation bill
signed by President George W Bush
earlier this year.
