Agricultural Extension Agent Hopefully by this time this col umn goes to press it will not be quite as newsworthy as at the lime of its writing. Presently all of Brunswick County is under moderate to se vere moisture stress In other barrow words, we are dealing with a short term drought. Hot, humid condi tions and actively growing plants have depleted the available supply of moisture in the soil. Plants of all types arc showing signs of stress. Corn and tomato leaves arc rolling, vine crops arc wilting, and in creased incidence of blossom end rot is showing up on tomatoes, pep pers. squash and watermelons along with various will diseases. In the landscape, unirrigatcd lawns are turning brown. Most of these lawn grasses have decreased their metabolic activity and arc go ing inloa semi-dormant slate. Land scape plants have ceased growing in many cases. Obviously, it will help if irrigation car. be provided. Soak the soil to a depth of four inches to six inches once or twice a week. This is approximately one inch of water, which will help encourage a deeper root system. Shallow, more frequent watering sessions will help if maintained, bui can devastate a GARDENING TIPS lawn if interrupted by a vacation schedule or broken pump. Small areas of shrubs and tiees can be best served by a small pop up sprinkler, drip irrigation or a soaker hose. These can be disguised by mulch to avoid an unsightliness. Check these regularly. Wetting to a depth of six inches to eight inches is preferred on shrubs and small trees. If irrigation cannot be provided on a regular basis, that is, at least once a week, then avoid it all to gether. Nature has a way of sustain ing ii*cr"lf during these times. Most grasses and shrubs survive if left alone. In the days to come, expect con tinued signs of moisture stress. Dogwoods in particular will show stress through marginal leaf bum. This condition will cause the outer leaf margins to brown up. Severe cases will cause one-third to one half of the leave to turn brown. Generally this will not hurt the tree. It is nature's way of equalizing the amount of roots and leaves, making sure it can sustain itself. One final word?mulch. This will conserve moisture and lower the soil temperature for active roots. Apply three to four inches of pine straw, bark or similar materials around the shrubs and small trees. Once soil temperature reaches 110 degrees Fahrenheit, most rixit activ ity will ccasc.
