March

Great choice of woody landscape plants now available. Purchase, then plant with Tree-n-Shrub™ planting soil.

Start planting cool-season crops: beets, cabbage, chard, kale, lettuce, onions, and peas.

Plant berry crops (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, & blackberries). Fertilize with a complete fertilizer or Steer Plus™.

Start thinking about lawn renovation. Call a Rexius Landscape professional for information.

Address moss control in lawns at this time. Try raking moss out of your lawn and applying lime to raise pH level.

Edge and mow your lawns.

Treat dogwoods for anthracnose using a proper fungicide. Begin at bud break and continue at appropriate intervals until dry weather prevails. Destroy fallen leaves throughout the season.

If soil is dry enough, prepare annual and vegetable beds with 4-6 inches of Rexius Flower-n-Garden™ Planting Soil or Steer Plus™. Turn over and blend with existing soil.

Apply 3” to 4” of mulch to clean landscape beds. To prevent stem rot, keep mulch away from plant stems.
