infestation, isolate your plant. Several thorough washings with plain water may bring them under control. If not, apply an appropriate insecticide—follow the instructions on the label!

* Keep the compost heap moist to aid in the decay process. Turn the pile to mix in all late, fall additions. Add fertilizer residues from nearly empty bags onto the pile and mix.

* Earthworms must remain below frost line to survive. Mulch piled on top of soil raises the frost line. If you want earthworms to help break down organic matter in the upper soil layers, mulch deeply. If you need the subsoil aerated, leave the surface mulch thin; the worms will burrow downward to stay warm.

* Store liquid pesticides where temperatures will not fall below 40 degrees F. Too low a temperature may result in a breakdown of the chemical. If the liquid should freeze, there is the danger of the glass container breaking and scattering the chemical in the storage area.

* If fall rains have been scarce, water landscape evergreens thoroughly once every week or so until the ground freezes. Evergreens continue to lose moisture from their foliage all winter, but once the ground is frozen, they’ll be unable to take up enough water to replace it. Sending them into winter well watered reduces the potential for damaged foliage. Broad leaved and tender evergreens exposed to drying winds and sun may need to be shaded on the south and southwest sides to reduce moisture loss and foliage injury.
