August — Garden Maintenance

Follow EWEB waterline guidelines
If you have been using EWEB Waterline guidelines and you have deep, water-holding soil, you should not have to do extra watering to keep the lawn and garden looking good.

Water early in the day
Water early in the day making an effort to water the ground surface, not the plant foliage. Do you need help with an irrigation system? Call Rexius' Irrigation Division.

Water hanging baskets
When necessary, water hanging baskets and container planters twice a day or use drip irrigation.

Watch for fungal diseases
Watch for fungal diseases on trees, shrubs, flowering plants & vegetables. Treat as needed.

Continue to fertilize your trees
Continue to fertilize your trees, shrubs, flowers, and vegetables.
