Spring is blooming early in the Baton Rouge area. Weeds are growing and it is time to apply weed killers (Atrazine and/or Weed Free Zone). It is early for fertilizer application on lawns so we are recommending Weed & Feeds around the 1st of the month.
Apply ant killers now for best control.
Vegetable planting is around the corner. Time to add amendments to your soil. We are getting great feedback from people using alfalfa humate in their gardens as well as manures, mushroom compost and cottonseed meal.
Fertilize citrus trees in February along with other fruit trees. Fruit trees require specific minor nutrients found in Fruit Tree and Citrus fertilizers. Production will be increased as well as the overall health of the plant.
Our Purple Martins have arrived. Remember to clean out your house. We carry dusting sulphur to control mites in the boxes.
Prune your roses now for spring blooming. Don’t prune climbers. Fertilize and apply merit for systemic insect control.
Fertilize your fall bedding plants and pinch off old blooms (deadhead) for a spectacular spring blooming.
