Page 8 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Wednesday, August 9, 1989 You Gotta Play to Win Dear John: I've had good luck with choosing numbers in the state lottery, but choosing fertil- izer is a whole new game! What do the numbers on the bag mean? Dear Lotto Lee: Lawn fertil- izers pay off through a mix of three primary nutrients, repre- sented by the numbers on the bag. The winning combination is based on the amount of nutri- ents lawns need for growth and how quickly they're absorbed. The first number refers to nitrogen (N); which keeps grass in the green. The second nutri- ent, phosphorus (P), helps root development, while the third, potassium (K), fights disease. A 3-1-2 ratio of nitrogen to phos- phorus to potassium is an instant. winner for most lawns. For exam- ple, your lucky numbers could be 15-5-10. The N-P-K content is also given as a percentage of the bag's total weight. For example, in a 35 Ib. bag with a 15-5-10 ratio, 15 percent of the mix (or 5!4 pounds) is nitrogen. Besides the nutrients, the mix contains inert ingredi- ents that help spread the nutri- ents evenly over the lawn. Dear John: How do I grow those cute miniature vegetables I see on salad bars? Dear Tom Thumb: There are two ways to produce miniature vegetables in your garden. Some of the minis on the market, like carrots, zucchini and summer squash, may be the fruit from regular crops harvested before they've reached full maturity. Most "baby" vegetables, though, are grown from special seeds. A number of seed companies are beginning to offer these spe- cial seeds, usually called "com- . pact" or "mini" vegetables. While these seeds are different from the regular seeds you've been using in the garden, planting and harvesting procedures for minis are the same as for the larger varieties. In general, the small size of .mini vegetables makes them more perishable than their full- size varieties. Dear John: I'm giving my lawn a facelift by planting a few small trees. Any tips on caring for them? Dear Nip and Tuck: Newly planted trees need plenty of water. Keep the tree especially well-watered during dry spells; surrounding the base with mulch will help the soil retain moisture. Avoid bumping into the trunk when mowing around the tree by creating a border around :the base with a mix of shredded bark or gravel--it'll make mowing easier, too.
