true around trees and shrubbery
as well as in front Of the flower
beds.
One enterprising manufacturer
offers an aluminium form for use
about the trees which has a COL
lar for holding the mulch around
the trunk and a sloping alum
mum covering that carries the
moisture to the trunk. At the
outer edge there is an edgine
that prevents roots from grow
ing towards the tree. The space
between the edging and the COL
lar is covered with a mulch al

tion than to give a clean, weed
free area beneath the low hang
ing branches. Tarred roofing
paper would serve the same pur-
pose.

Bermuda grass and similar

The wider strips are also
heavier and stronger and are
more useful in those situations
where they hold the soil. They
would also be Of some use in
keeping moles out of flower beds.
Metal stripping Of any width

Look for a heavy infestation
of aphids this year on trees and

Aphids are tiny insects that
suck sap from leaves and stems
causing tree rain," premature
leaf drop and twig dieback. They
occasionally transmit virus dis
eases.
Aphids built up to enormous
populations last year. They will
be even more numerous this year
because the widespread use OF
DDT has killed of many of Their

Metal Edgings Save Time and Labor
By W. H. YoUNGMAN

Anything that can take drudg-
cry out of gardening is well
coined by gardeners who wish to
conflne their time to planting
and enjoying the fruits of Their
efforts.
One of the newest labor saw
ers is the metal edging that can
be placed around trees, in front
of flower beds and beside paths
to keep grass and weeds from
spreading into them by under
ground roots. This not only
saves wedding, it saves the hand
trimming that so many object
to.
Edging materials are not new
You still zee flower beds and
borders with brick edgings, but
unfortunately the bricks neither
kept the weeds and grass out oi
the beds nor did they do away
with hand trimming. Boards
have been sunk into the ground
for this purpose, but they are
short lived unless exceedingly
well-creosoted.
Concrete walls are expensive
and usually too obvious in ap-
pearance.
Follow a Guide Line
The manufacturers have now
provided us with heavy galvan-
lied strips Of various widths
from 4 to ~ inches, which may
be inserted into the soil for this
purpose. We can also buy alum
mum strips in the same sizes and
in varying length. These strips
are easily installed by cutting a
narrow opening with a spade
along a string or some other
guide line.
The galvanized strips are re-
ported to last for about seven
years. the aluminium is supposed
to last indefinitely. That will
depend upon the care given to
the strip and to the soil acids
present. Undoubtedly, the cost
OF the metal stripping is not
greatly different from that pres
emily charged for wood and it is
much easier to install,
Flush With Ground
The metal strips are not con-
spicuous and that is why they are
OF more interest to gardeners,
but the saving in hand trimming
IS even more important. The
strips should be placed flush with
the surface Of the ground 50
