Its called the slug and for those of you who have had problems with these in the past, you know just how devastating they can be. They can live for several years, over wintering in the soil and surfacing in early spring. During the day they hide in dark, moist places-often under boards, rocks, and other garden debris. They come out at night to feed. By morning, plants or even can be so chewed completely away that hole-ridde- n it leaves vegetables ined- ible and ornamental plants munched to smithereens. Unfortunately, a and carefully mulched garden is especially attractive to slugs, making control even more difficult. well-watere- d Gardeners, birds (especially robins and ducks), grand beetles and snakes are virtually the only natural enemies of the slug. So, for other control methods we have to become more resourceful and creative. One creative gardener is a gentleman named Helmut Brodka from Renton, Washington. He has created the ultimate weapon against slugs. He calls it the Slug-O-Mati- the body of the bottle 4. Put enough stapes (3 or 4) around the rim to hold the parts together. This design will also help keep the poison bait away from children and pets. You can use the same trap for several weeks, then just throw it away and make a new one. According to Helmut, Its clean, safe, simple and cheap, and it works. DONT TOP TREES! The sight of topped trees is all too common in the state of Utah. As more is learned effects about the long-terof topping the more senseless this practice has become. Topping is the most hazardous pruning method available. One of the most critical needs of a tree in an urban setting is proper pruning. Whether you are pruning for public safety, tree health,, aesthetics, or for power line clearance, its critical that the tree is pruned properly. Proper pruning will help ensure that the trees full life span is reached and that all of the benefits that trees offered are received. Some of the benefits of proper pruning include: shade, aesthetic beauty, oxygen regeneration, air purification, wildlife habitat, and privacy, to name a few. For more information c. This trapping method is not messy, easy to make and is virtually cost free. You just need an empty soft drink bottle (preferably green for camouflage purposes), some stapes and some commercial slug bait from a garden shop. To build one for yourself, follow these directions 1. Cut the top third off the empty bottle. 2. 1lace a spoonful of slug bait in the bottom of the bottle 3. Push the top portion into about how to properly prune trees, energy conservation, trees around power lines or basic tree care call Provos City Forestry Program at 801- - 852-692- 8 Good Reasons NOT to TOP 1. Starvation: When topping, more of the canopy is removed than should be. This upsets the root to crown ration and temporarily cuts off the trees food making ability. Proper pruning removes no more problems, possibly death. 3. Insects and Disease: Top- new sprouts created are more numerous, grow faster, longer, and are weaker. 6. Tree Death: Some trees cannot react to radical topping procedures and produce enough regrowth so they can generate enough food. This typically leads to the death of the tree. 7. Ugliness: Topping disfigures the natural shape and growth of a tree. Even with regrowth it never regains the grace and character of its original species and form. 8. Cost: Topping might seem easier than properly pruning a tree. However, the true costs include: reduced property value, expense of removal upon death, change in climate for all plants around the tree, increased liability risk for weakly attached and weakened branches, and increased future maintenance.

The tree cannot utilize its chemically based natural defense system to form the callus material that typically protects properly cut branches. This leaves the tree highly vulnerable to insect invasion and disease. 4. Weak Limbs: The wood and attachments of the water sprouts (suckers) produced after topping, are more weakly attached than a limb that develops normally. 5. Rapid New Growth: The goal of topping is typically to control the height and spread of a tree. Actually, topping has the opposite effect.
