This cludes such things as iron chlorosis powdery mildew and root rot All of these diseases are aggrav ated by excess moisture Other problems associated with too much water include weed problems in lawTis reduced growth in many shrubs and plants nitrogen deficiencies and die back of evergreens such as junipers yews and pines "Vhen watering plants keep in mind the method Mother Nature uses in a native setting" Goodspeed explains This normally consists of large amounts of w atcr at one time then a few dry days or even weeks before v atering again Some plants such as junipers and other trees surv ive and look great just being watered once a month Keep in mind whether the plants you care for are water loving or prefer a dry hot environment Another major consideration is the soil type he adds Look at the soil where growth is abundant such as on the East and West Coast Because most of this land has been continuously cultiv ated for centuries it has accumulated organic matter which dev elops a deep rich soil for plant growth Mother Nature returns some organic materials back to the soil every year Adding organic matter is not a thing It must be repeated on a regular basis "Mimic this process in your own yard and garden" Goodspeed says "This is the perfect time to start since Mother Nature has provided us with an abunev en if some of them dance of leaves might be covered w ith snow and ice right now Pick up a bag or tw o once the snow melts or go to the local landfill for extra mulch in the spring" "Mother Nature does not throw all her leaves into a big pit called a landfill" he says "In her infinite wisdom she spreads them out to improve and enrich all the soils In Utah we need to add all the ganic matter we can Keep the leaves and work them back into the soil" The last thing to learn from Mother Nature is the shape of trees and shrubs Goodspeed says Their natural shape and form seldom need changing MotherNa-turhas never trimmed a round juniper to fit a square space The true beauty of most landscape plants is in their natural shape "When Mother Nature plants trees and shrubs she provides them with room to stretch and grow" Goodspeed says "Normally they are not planted in rows or in a symmetrical design Also when pruning use care to maintain the plants original shape How would you feel if someone cut off or changed some of your best features maybe removed an arm and added a nose the size of the Baja Peninsula? When planting be sure to allow a plant enough room to grow to maturity" There it only one thing In the world worse than being talked about and that la not being talked about —Oscar WUde Brigham City '98 building permits top 410 million Brigham City building permits topped $10 million during 1998 compared to just under $9 million during the previous year making it an "average" year for the 1990s except for the start of the decade w hich saw only $3713565 in permits Tootle Major leak at Army incinerator? A leak at the Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility in March may have sent at least times the allowable amount of nerve agent directly into the atmosphere said a lawyer representing environmentalists in federal court on Monday The charge came out when the environmentalists plaintiffs in a case to shut down the Tooele County incinerator were arguing against summary judgment A ruling has notyct been made The Army denies there was any leak 51 Sun Advocate A grow ing number f drug abusers are addicted not to illegal drugs but to medically prescribed ones according to Alta Bates Medical Group and Bay Physicians Carbon County law enforcement officers Stev e Rabcr and Scott Olsen agree Olsen states that an addiction to legally prescribed medications is just as bad and just as devastating to the lives of the people involved as illicit drug addiction The difference Olsen points out is that prescription addiction happens to "nicer" people People who use illicit drugs know that they are doing something wrong Uintah Basin Standard plea for Pinder Judge rejects bail last refused allow to week An 8th District Court judge suspect John R Pinder 41 to be released from jail on a $6 million property bond until it's proven that Pinder's family has clear title to the land holdings they plan to post for his bond 34 are each charged with Pinder and one of his ranch hands Filimeno two counts of capital homicide and several other felony charges in the Oct 25 deaths of Rex K Tanner 48 and June Flood 59 The victims were previously employed by Pinder Authorities allege that Pinder shot the couple and then blew up their bodies in a dispute over stolen property The Council votes yes to raise their own pay The Grand County Council voted Monday to increase council salaries from S500 to $700 per month and to abolish a provision of county law requiring council members face an election before receiving a pay increase The council wage hike included in the 1999 county budget approved by the council last month will cost the county $16800 per year Council members said they decided to raise their own pay after discussions about ways to provide health and dental benefits to themselves Since some members of the council already have that insurance through their jobs or businesses they decided instead to raise the pay Monti Messenger Stone renovation Manti Temple project completed on The scaffolding has all been removed and the Manti LDS Temple exterior has been restored to its original beauty A renovation project on the Manti Temple commenced in Jan 1996 The scope of the project at that time was estimated to take approximately two years As the project progressed inspectors and architects for the LDS Church found other repairs were needed Finally the scaffolding came down in the first tow weeks of Dec 1998 and the entire project was completed on Dec 13 North Amarica la tMC000 aquara mSaa in f POOR C |
