TIP OF THE MONTH

March 2008 

 - Test your soil for pH to see if any amendments are necessary. A general rule of thumb is to add 4 lbs. of lime per 100 sq. ft. of garden for every pH point below 6.5, or 1 lb. of sulfur per 100 sq. ft. for every pH point above 7.5.

 - Late March is a good time to transplant trees and shrubs. As soon as the soil is workable, but before buds have swelled or broken, you can move shrubs and trees.
