Repair garden equipment before spring. Come springtime, the grass will not wait for you to repair your lawnmower. Be sure garden tools are clean and stored in a dry place. Take soil samples. For information on how to do this, contact your county agricultural extension agent. Your poinsettia will last longer if it is moved to a cool room (no cooler than SO degrees) at night .Water the plant when the soil feels dry. Poinsettias are not poisonous. Research on the poinsettia has effectively debunked tales that the plant is harmful to human and animal health if eaten, but don't eat it. Unfortunately, false rumors persist and keep people from enjoying this favorite holiday plant. Turn the compost pile t< hasten decomposition. Continue to keep birdfeed ers and birdbaths filled. Sue is available at the butchei counter in your grocery store Keep fallen leaves rake< off newly seeded lawn areas The seedlings need plenty ol sunlight and air. Watch for outbreaks ol mealybugs, spider mites, aphids and whiteflies on youi houseplants. Wood ashes can be a bene ficial addition to your vege table garden's soil, because they contain about 5.5 percent potash. Collect wood ashes and store them in a dry place. If you put them out now, the potash will leach too deep into the soil to be reached by vegetable roots. Do not use wood ashes around acidloving plants such as azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias or blueberries. Dr. Carolyn R. Gattis Chiropractor 211 Orange St. Henderson, N. C.
