GARDEN
TIME
By: M. E. GARDNER
It will never do to leave the
lady in distress, especially if
she ; s a dear friend and a dedi
cated gardener. Many Umes I
have helped her with rose prob
lems, but this t'me her problem
was of an entrely different
nature.
We might say in the beginning
that, as is so frequently the
case, she s over-planted with
most everything and try : ng to
do all the work herself. Her hus
band travels but is very helpful
when he is home.
She had lost two or three
Elaeagnus plants and was blam
ing moles for chewing their roots
and girdling the stem at the
base of the plants. I told her
that moles could not poss'bly
cause this type of damage and
tha tl would drop by and see if
we could determ'ne the cause.
When I arrived she had dug
two of the plants and, sure en
ough, the tender t'ssues had
been chewed from the roots and
the plants almost complettly
girdled at the base, just below
soil level. She had mulched
heavily with leaves so we began
by probing around the plants.
THE GROUCHO LETTERS.
Letters from and to Groucho
Majrx. There has never been a
correspondence like this!
U (1 d not lake long to locate
tunnels made and used bv mice.
There are two knds: field or
meadow- mice, and pine m ce.
Both of these can cause exten
sive damage to plants, and.
many t mes, the damage is not
observed until it is too late.
I suggested that she get poi
soned bait and place in the tun
nels or runs. Th s can be done
by carefully opering the top of
the tunnel, placing the bait and
recovering.
Mice control is a perennial prob
lem w'th the apple grower. For
a long time only poisoned baits
were used grain, apple or
sweet potato cubes. Since about
1951 tre growers have used a
prisoned ground spray which Is
much faster and more effective
than the gai tmethod. The ma
terial used for the ground spray
is too hazardous for use by the
home gardener so baits are
still best.
This lady was doing a real -
good job of spraying to control
insects and diseases on all of
her plants but the equipment
she had was ent : rely
to do an effective job of con
trol. She was trying hard but
net getting results.
Since her husband was trail
ing along, I suggested that a
small power sprayer (electric
or gas engine) would expedite
and alleviate. He agreed and so
everyone was happy.
