JANUARY TIPS
Remove and destroy bagworm bags from affected trees- principally on evergreens. The bags contain hundreds of eggs that will hatch out and feed next spring.
This is a good time to have your soil tested. Do not attempt to fertilize your lawn when the ground is frozen. Keeping the soil pH in the 6.0 - 7.0 range is very important in maintaining healthy turf. Agricultural limestone can be applied to raise soil pH during the winter when the ground is not frozen or covered with snow.
Avoid storing pesticides over the winter in sheds and garages. Cold temperatures can cause these materials to become ineffective. If you have questions about the efficacy of your pesticides call the manufacturer, using the phone number listed on the label.
Fruit trees are fertilized in the spring. Landscape trees are traditionally fertilized after they drop their leaves in the fall. Mature shade trees do not typically need to be fertilized at all. Keep dry fertilizers sealed up in your shed or basement to keep critters out.
These tips and others can be found at the Home and Garden Information Center at the University of Maryland.
