(1) Snails, slugs and pill bugs can thrive under the foliage of ground covers. Use ferti-lome Bug Bait to kill these destructive pests; (2) O
Yellowing of foliage (chlorosis) can be a problem, especially in areas with alkaline water or soil. Chlorosis can be prevented and corrected
by using ferti-lome Chelated Liquid Iron and Other Nutrient Spray; (3) Spider mites are almost invisible, yet can kill your plants.
Use ferti-lome Red Spider Mite Spray to eliminate them; (4) Bagworms are a problem on many evergreens. Spray with ferti-lome
Bagworm and Tent Caterpillar Spray when worms are young; (5) For twig blight, use ferti-lome Fire Blight Spray. For fungal
leaf spot, use ferti-lome Systemic Fungicide with Benomyl; (6) Additional growth can be obtained by using ferti-lome GARDENER’S
SPECIAL Soluble Plant Food applied with the ferti-lome Lawn and Garden Feeder; (7) Animal control is achieved by using ferti-lome
Dog-Gon Dog and Cat Repellent and ferti-lome Deer and Rabbit Repellent.
Evergreens and ground covers are available for full sun as well as heavily shaded areas. The
ideal planting mix is a combination of sandy loam and organic matter, such as peat moss. For
specific planting methods, consult the Planting Guide on page 19. In clay soils, plant in raised
beds since both prefer good drainage. The use of ferti-lome Root Stimulator and Starter
Solution at planting time can greatly reduce transplant shock and help your plants resume
their normal growing habits more quickly.

Continue to water with ferti-lome Root Stimulator and Starter Solution until plants are
well-established. For evergreens, keep the soil slightly and evenly moist at all times. Ground
covers respond well to heavy watering. Frequency of watering will depend upon local soil con-
ditions and weather. Never allow plants to wilt. Avoid spraying water on foliage as this encourages
disease problems. Since evergreens prefer acidic soil conditions, use ferti-lome Soil Acidifier
Plus Iron several times per year in areas with alkaline water or soil.
Fertilize your ground cover three times per year—early spring, mid summer and early fall—
with ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Food. Fertilize evergreens every other month during the
growing season with ferti-lome Evergreen Food or Azalea Evergreen containing Systemic
Insecticide. Always water fertilizer in thoroughly after applying.
Weeds and grasses in the planting area are not only unsightly, but also use valuable plant food
nutrients. Weeds and grasses can be killed any time during the growing season by using
ferti-lome Ready-To-Use Quik-Kill. Be careful not to get Quik-Kill on the foliage of desira-
ble plants. Weeds and grasses that germinate from seed can be prevented by applying ferti-lome
Weed and Grass Preventer every two months.
Properly preparing your plants for winter will reward you with better performance next spring.
Preparation includes these steps: (1) Make final feeding in early fall using appropriate ferti-lome
fertilizer. (2) Clean beds of fallen leaves, needles and other debris; (3) Spray all plants with
ferti-lome Scalecide (not in Central or South Florida) to kill existing plant insects; (4) Apply
ferti-lome Dusting Sulphur to soil under and around plants to kill existing soil insects and
diseases. Apply winter mulch around evergreens; (5) Continue to water during winter in areas
where horticulturally recommended.
Insects and diseases can devastate your evergreens and ground covers. To prevent and control
common insects and diseases, spray twice a month during the growing season with ferti-lome
Triple-Action. More frequent applications are required during rainy periods, since the spray
may be washed off. Specific insect and disease problems can occur, requiring the use of specific
problem-solvers. Your local ferti-lome Dealer will be glad to help you expertly identify these
problems and the products you should use to correct them.

Spring is the season when all your efforts are rewarded. For optimum growth, be sure to: (1) =
Prune your plants, removing dead and undesirable growth, and use ferti-lome Pruning Sealer sEa
to seal out insects and disease; (2) Lightly cultivate beds (around evergreens), remove winter mem
weeds and grasses and apply ferti-lome Weed and Grass Preventer to prevent germina- iS
tion of weed and grass seeds; (3) apply ferti-lome Dusting Sulphur to soil under and around
plants to kill overwintering soil insects and diseases. Apply additional mulch, around evergreens, |
if needed; (4) Spray plants with ferti-lome Scalecide (not in Central or South Florida) to kill 59
overwintering insects and insect eggs; (5) Make first application of fertilizer in late winter or |
early spring; (6) Continue to water... slowly and thoroughly.
