Fall may have just begun, but Lower Moreland Township provides tips for upcoming Winter

During winter, there are some things that can be done to your yard which will help reduce the need for pesticides next growing season.

• Spray dormant oil on bark surfaces of disease and pest prone ornamental trees and shrubs. Dormant oil is non-toxic and works to kill overwintering insect eggs and fungal spores. Spray this heavy oil before leaves or buds appear and when temperatures are above 40 degrees.

• Spray a leaf protectant, such as Wilt-pruf®, to hollies, rhododendrons, and other broadleaf evergreen plants to protect against winter moisture loss. Spray early in the winter season when temperature is above freezing.

• Late winter overseeding of lawns and seeding of bare spots is a good time to begin to increase turf density before weed seeds have time to germinate. Source: Penn State Cooperative Extension

Cristopher Sánchez delivered an impressive performance on the mound, pitching seven solid innings while allowing only two runs.
