You May Need A Pesticide License Dear Plant Doctor: I recently was told by a clerk at the garden store that I had to have a license to buy certain insecticides. I do not un derstand the licensing requirement; please explain in simple English without all that government gibber ish. All 1 want to do is kill the bugs eating up my garden. Your help will be appreciated. Answer: North Carolina has some of the most prudent pcsticidc licensing laws in the United States. A license is required by private (farmers or home gardeners) and commercial applicators to purchase and use any pcsticidc classified by the EPA as a restricted use pcsticidc. Records and a paper trail must be kept for anyone using restricted use pesticides. The appropriate pesti cide license can be obtained follow ing an educational program and test administered by the N.C. Coope rative Extension Service and the North Carolina Department of Agri culture. If you apply any pesticide to land other than property you own or lease, then a commercial Pcsticidc License is required by federal and state law! A commercial pcsticidc li cense is required if you arc required to spray any pesticides for your job or you are applying pesticidcs for pay. Please call your N.C. Cooperative Extension officc for additional infor mation conccrning pcsticidc use or licensing. Dear Plant Doctor. My marigolds and petunias arc growing tall and leggy with only one or two blooms at the top of the plant I have kept the old blooms clipped off and re moved the sucker leaves from the bottom of the plant. What should I do to gel full bushy plants? Also, is water processed through a water conditioner better or worse n THE PLANT DOCTOR C. BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist for my plants than water straight from the well? Thanks for your help. Answer: Inadequate light or wa ter. the inappropriate cultivar, poor soil fertility, disease, herbicides or high plant density can cause leggi ncss in vegetable and flowering plants.

Where and how should I plant these cuttings outside? Any tips you could give me would be appreciated. Answer: Transplant rooted pussy willow cuttings into a sterile potting soil mix and use a small plastic or clay pot with adequate bottom drainage. Keep the newly transplant ed plant in a partially shaded, pro tected environment until shoot growth continues and root growth fills up a large portion of the soil volume in the pot. Gradually hard en-off young plants by moving out side to a partially shaded area. Transplant to a sunny, wet site where the soil has been properly cul tivated and amended with fertilizer, then step back! The native pussy willow (SalLx discolor) is a fast growing, hardy shrub native to wet places in the eastern United States. Send your comments or gardening questions to The Plant Doctor, P.O. Box 109.
