January Todo Suggestions From Viragrow

Here are two suggestions from Viragrow to do in your home landscape or garden area this time of year.

Revitalize your "tired" garden soil. 

Fertilizers do not replace all of the minerals and nutrients removed by vegetables and fruit trees. A very popular and inexpensive method of rejuvenating these soils is by using what many people call "rock dust". Rock dust are natural mineral deposits loaded with essential and nonessential plant minerals. The chemistry of these soils is complicated and sometimes a simple soil test will not give you all of the answers.

Viragrow carries two different "rock dusts" that have the potential for improving vegetable and fruit yields. Very small amounts are all that are necessary for soil renewal. Buy it by the pound or the cubic yard!

Reduce your insect past problems this summer with this little trick. 

Insecticidal oil spray applications to the lower trunk, the trunk and major limbs of deciduous fruit trees and landscape trees will suffocate these pesky free riders. Many common insect pests are writing out the winter and waiting for spring to make their first assault in your landscape. Pests such as aphids, whiteflies, scale insects and spider mites are just a few of the insects controlled with an oil application this time of year.

Buy an insecticidal oil now and wait for the first warm winter day without wind to go on the offensive. It is safe to make a second application just as leaves are emerging but avoid spraying when it is flowering. Viragrow carries two high quality insecticidal oils in different quantities.Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of insecticidal oil in each gallon of spray. You can apply it with a pump sprayer or a hose end applicator. It is always best to mix a surfactant such as EZ Wet to make it even more effective
