Dear John: John Deere Answers Your Lawn and Garden Woes The Mowing Open Dear John: I'm an avid golfer who'd like to fit in lawn care and landscaping between tee-off times. Can you offer some gen- eral mowing tips? Dear King of the Green: Fol- low the "one-third mowing rule" to keep your green in pro form: never mow more than one-third of the grass blade at any one time. Change directions each time you mow; otherwise, your lawn can develop a lean that results in skipped spots and uneven patches. Before you begin landscaping, plan ahead for easy mowing. Don't handicap yourself by plant- ing shrubs or trees so close to your house that you can't mow in between. Though small shrubs planted far from your house may look out of place initially, they'll fill out in no time. Try to create a forward mow- ing pattern to avoid backing up with the mower. Remove low hanging tree branches. To spend less time putting around with a trimmer, edge out an area at the base of trees and fill in with a decorative mulch like bark or wood chips. This also helps keep your mower on course to avoid nicking trees and creating dam- aging mower wounds. Dear John: Last time we tried sod, it was a tragedy. What can we do this time to help our newly Women' Watch out guys, the ladies are taking over (golfing that is). The Aguasabon Ladies Golf Club is in full "swing".

Closest guess - Charlotte Miller Farthest guess - Diane O'Neill sodded lawn succeed? Dear Sod Story: Though sod may look easy, it does take some planning to achieve the best results. Soil preparation is impor- tant whether you're planting seed or sod. The soil beneath should be worked until loose and sup- plied with nutrients to nourish the sod and encourage deep root growth. (A soil test will tell you if your soil has sufficient nutrients.) You may choose to hire pro- fessionals to lay your sod; it can be a difficult, time-consuming job for one person to handle, and it can be a challenge to lay straight. No matter who does it, sod should be put down imme- diately after cutting or it can dry out. - Water new sod daily for the first 7 to 10 days, and then weekly between rainfalls until it has knit in with the soil. Dear John: I've heard about rotating crops every year or so... what's the reason for that? Dear Crop Changer: It's a good idea to rotate your crops every year or so, because vege- tables of the same family are more susceptible to certain soil- borne diseases when planted in the same spot for years at a time. Disease-resistant varieties and hybrids also help fight disease problems. s golfing Least putts - Althca Graham Most putts - Marie Thibeault Althea Graham won the Chip Pot.
