Ask questions to understand what the issue really is the then use the right
product to solve that problem—fungicides will not rid your yard of insects
for example
Follow directions carefully on all manufacturer’s labels—on chemicals these
labels are legal documents and it is the responsibility of the owner to read
and follow these
- Store all chemicals and fertilizers where children and
pets cannot reach them
- Store garden center items in original containers in a
cool and dry place where they will not freeze
-
Use chemicals and fertilizers only as directed and as often as directed
on the container
-
Wash all equipment used to spray or spread products after each use
- Use a separate sprayer for chemicals and for fertilizers
- Water ground thoroughly and deeply before spreading
mulches
- If
you have clay soil, use compost as a soil amendment—if your soil is sandy,
use sphagnum peat moss plus compost—organic matter is almost critical to
gardening success

NOTE:
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Use chemical application ONLY
when necessary! Give Mother Nature and natural controls a chance before
stepping up the need for toxic synthetic applications.
