GARDENING TIPS FOR NOVEMBER
• Brown patch will continue to plague St. Augustine lawns as
nights get cooler and humidity and rain continue. Discolored circles
will appear in low areas almost overnight. Apply a fungicide
recommended for brown patch according to label directions.
Avoid walking through brown-patched turf. It spreads easily
from the bottom of your shoes. If brown patch appears in the
same lawn areas every year, add an inch or two of sandy topsoil
to eliminate those low spots.
• Fertilize St. Augustine turf with a winterizing formula to promote
root growth over the winter months. Lower your lawn mover
blades now and mow on a schedule that cuts no more than onethird
of the grass blade away.
• As chrysanthemums and other perennials finish blooming, cut
flowering stalks to the ground to permit all strength to be used
in making root growth.
• Feed roses lightly, but avoid nitrogen fertilizers. Do not
prune now. Keep up spraying program and water deeply.
• Remove dead foliage and plant debris to help eradicate insects
and disease organisms. Thin out and transfer volunteer seedlings.
Beds made now will benefit by weathering before being
planted. If soil is heavy, dig six inches deep, leave rough, cover
with gymsum and strawy manure, water and allow to mellow.
• Bananas are more likely to bear fruit if the trunk does not die
back in winter. Cut banana stalks back to six feet, wrap with
newspaper and burlap.
• Continue mulching for winter. Build up a thick top mulch to
protect roots from freezing and winter drying. Don’t throw
away those pine tree needles; they make great acidic mulch for
azaleas, gardenias and next Spring’s impatiens.
• Place pansies in beds after weather has cooled.
Use a little blood meat mixed in soil under each plant.
• Now is the best time to plant trees and shrubs.

Can Chiropractic Help ME ?
We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor
of chiropractic can help my problem?”
We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination,
including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation
