Bellfair Walk Preserve lawn care standards:

Do you have plants that do better if the moisture is delivered at their roots instead of from overhead?  If so you can make your own drip feeder. This simple watering process can be used on indoor or outdoor plants!

A creative and inexpensive way to make a drip feeder is to use an old plastic soda bottle. 

Take the 

which you can place underground next to your plant is by using an old plastic soda bottle.  Just puncture some holes in it (a barbeque skewer works great), and then plant it next to the young plant.  The bottle will enable a slow release of water near the roots.  This method prevents fungus and also reduces problems with leaves.

• Maintain a grass height of 3 inches

Roots grow best when the soil is warm, between 55 and 75 degrees F.

​A fall-installed tree, shrub or perennial receives several weeks of   vigorous root growth to ready itself for winter and for years of           healthy growth.

September and October provide ideal temperatures to get perennial     plants off to a good start.
