Save money on your lawn
By Vern Holm, Resource Conservationist,
Yamhill Soil and Water Conservation District
Would you like to have a nicer lawn, save money and
protect the environment too? Here are some money and
time saving tips:
The easiest and most cost-effective thing you can do
is to not bag your lawn clippings. Think about it -- as it
grows, your lawn essentially "mines" nutrients from the
earth. By leaving clippings on the lawn you are returning
these nutrients back to the soil so you will not have to
fertilize as often. In addition, because the clippings act as
a mulch they conserve soil moisture, thereby reducing the
need to water.
Most people mow their lawn too short. Set the mower
height at three inches and your grass will be healthier and

listening to your well pump run, it makes little sense to
try and keep your lawn green during the summer months.
In this section of the country it is natural for grass to
brown out during the dry season and you can count on it
to green up after the rains return.
However, if you feel you must water it is much better
to do it thoroughly once a week than to water a little every
day. Use a straight-sided can to measure the amount
you've watered and stop watering once it reaches an inch
deep. Watering at night or early in the morning greatly
reduces evaporation and it allows the water to seep deep
into the soil where it can be stored effectively.
If you are eradicating broadleaf weeds in your lawn,
you have two choices: a granular "weed and feed" or a
liquid applied with a sprayer. No matter which type you
use, always follow label directions and be careful not to
apply on or around surface water.
Weed and feed should only be applied when the lawn
is wet, either from heavy dew, rain or sprinkling. A wet-
ted surface allows the granules to dissolve on the leaves,
thereby allowing the herbicide to enter the weed's system.
Liquid control should be applied when the grass is dry, as
it allows the homeowner to keep track of the areas
sprayed.
When you fertilize, make the applications in the
spring or fall when the grass is actively growing. Of the
two, fall fertilizing is the best as it promotes the health of
roots and stems. Even though they seem more expensive,
slow release fertilizers are a better value as they last a lot
longer, are much less likely to pollute surface water, and
encourage more controlled plant growth.
Finally, it makes no sense to fertilize the sidewalk.
Not only are you wasting money, the fertilizer gets
flushed directly into the nearest stream when it rains. If
you use a broadcast spreader watch where the fertilizer is
landing and adjust your path accordingly.

is weed
by Vern Holm, Resource Conservationist,
Yamhill Soil and Water Conservation District
Spring is the ideal time to get a jump on weed cO,
trol, and here are a couple of tips that will make your ef-
forts more successful.
If you have small patches of weeds, pulling or hoeing
are still a great way to get rid of the pests. Now is a good
time to get started, as the soil is moist and most weeds
have not had a chance to develop seeds.
Gardeners can get a jump on weeds by using a
pre-emergent that inhibits root formation during germina-
tion. Several organic varieties are made of corn gluten,
and unlike manmade products, they are safe around pets,
children, and wildlife. Pre-emergents don't know the
difference between a vegetable and weed, so they can only
be used around actively growing plants.
If you use liquid herbicides please keep in mind that
grapes are extremely sensitive to broad-leaf weed kills that
are sold widely to homeowners. They include active in-
gredients such as 2,4-D, dicamba, triclopyr, or clopyralid.
Other herbicides that are used on Himalayan blackberries,
such as glyphosate (Round-Up) are extremely damaging to
new growth on grape vines.
If you are eradicating broadleaf weeds in your lawn,
you have two choices: a granual "weed and feed" or a
liquid applied with a sprayer. No matter which type you
use, always follow label directions and be careful not to
apply on or around surface water.
Weed and feed should only be applied when the grass
is dry, as it allows the homeowner to keep track of the ar-
eas sprayed.
In both cases, weed control works best if followed by
a couple of days of dry weather. Weed seeds that have not
yet germinated won't be affected, so you will need to
make another application in two weeks' time. Also, cer-
tain weeds, such as quack grass, are not affected by
broadleaf control and need to be spot treated with products
designed for this task.
If you have any weed control questions, call the
Yamhill Soil and Water Conservation District at (503)
472-6403, a full service garden center, or the Yamhill
County Extension Master Gardeners at (503) 434-8918
(from 1 to 5 pro). An excellent weed control web site can

Cities get liquor revenues ,
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has dis-
bursed the revenue from the April sales to the various cit-
ies and counties. Dayton received $1,489 and Lafayette
received $1,900. Funds are raised from the sale of dis-
tilled spirits in 238 liquor stores, taxes on malt beverages
and wine, license fees and fines for liquor law violations.
