Family Garden Living
Is Healthy, Satisfying

Family garden living is Ma
lures finest reward for land
Scaping and planting the home
property, says the American
Association of Nurserymen. A
well-planted property provides
healthy exercise, fun and pleas
ure in entertaining friends and
neighbors outdoors. Impartial
studies also show that people
who have planted their proper
ties well, feel that the planting
has increased the value of the
property by three to four times
the cost of the landscaping, in
addition to the family pleasure
and pride in having more beau
tiful home grounds.
Landscaping is the key to
home improvement, especially
with new and even many older
homes, which sometimes have
skimpy paintings.
Here is what studies show
the average home owner needs
to do to beautify and enjoy
the property.
/. Take a good look at the
lot on which the home is To-
Gated. Is it bare of healthy
trees and shrubs? Or are the
plants over-grown to give a
ragged rather than a trim look
to the house? Do the plants
provide adequate shade in the

BY WILBUR H. YOUNGMAN
Star Garden Editor

Repair the lawn or make it
over is often discussed by the
gardener and his family, but
seldom is anything done about
it. 1t has many ailments that
need correction-moSs, subject
to drought injury, weedy, thin
stands of grass, water runs off,
etc. Most Of them stem from
a common problem in this area
soil compaction.
Soil compaction is a common
term among golf course super
intendents. And, they are the
men that know how to keep
grass growing on fairway and
green or they do n OF hold
their jobs for long. Thus we
might turn to their programs
to see what might well be
adapted to our yards.
But first, what are the signs
of soil compaction? One of the
most common is to see moss
growing on the soil. This is
not a sign of acidity or aka
Unity, but rather that the sol
particles are so compacted that
the soil moisture is carried to
the surface in sufficient
volume to maintain moss
Another sign is the difficulty
of getting water to penetrate
into the soil-it's too tight fol
the water to get in, then it is
time to do something about il
because grass cannot grow
without air and moisture ir
the root zone. A third sign
the grass is so shallow-rooteo
that it is seriously injured by
a very short drought period.
How do soils get compactedi
by constant trampling BY
children and adults; by the
exhaustion of the humus thai
was so carefully incorporated
into the soil at the time the
lawn was made; by exces:
moisture from downSpouts, etc
Wet soils are the first to suffer
compaction.
Evening star., 1961-06-11
How to Recognize
Compocted Lawns

Compacted soils soon produce
only thin stands of grass
which are an invitation for
crabgrass and weeds to invade.
And as they gain in numbers
they crowd out what little
good grass that remains. Com
pacted soils favor the develop
ment and spread Of turf
diseases.
From the above we may
readily see that soil compac-
ton is a common problem,
one that we should do some
thing to correct. Fortunately,
there are many sizes and kinds
of aerifiers, tools that take
cores from the soil and drop
them on the surface. Some are
tractor operated. and some are
hand operated and there are
various sizes in between. They
all dig into the soil to a depth
of 3 to S inches and pull out
cores about an inch in
diameter.
These cores should be mixed
with some form of humus
Compost, peatmoss. sawdust,
etc. fertilizer and lime, if
needed. These may be mixed
together and pulVerized by
dragging a cocoa mat or a
chain mat over the lawn. This
not only mixes and pulverizes
as it fills the holes. The mix
ture going into the holes is
not compacted and thus in
sures the ready entrance Of air
and moisture into the soil.
When should this job be
done? It may be done at any
time but most prefer to do it
in the spring or early fall. And
it should not be done when the
soil is so wet that this has a
pudding effect, nor should it
be attempted when the soil is
too hard for the spoons" to
penetrate.
One good aerifying should

have a garden living" room,
surrounded by lovely Towering
plants, in which you can live
and entertain outdoors?
2. Talk to neighbors who
have nicely planted properties
to improve their living. How
did they achieve it? Talk to
nurserymen for their advice. 1t
is best to have a plan for your
planting. Planting the right
plants in the right places pays
off handsomely in beauty and
comfort and value of the home
after it's planted.
8. Ask yourself what you
want from your land and make
your land serve you. The land
will produce many lovely
plants that will be a source
of great pleasure to the whole
family. Do you wish a beauti-
full appearance from the
street? Privacy for the family? g?
More shade? Relaxed living in
a garden living" room? Beau
tiful flowers, like roses and
camellias? Delicious tree and
shrub fruits like peaches and
berries, like Strawberries or
.raspberries? All of these bene-
fits can be achieved from your
land, provided it is planted for
these purposes.
Do you know how you can
make your home and grounds
cooler in summer and warmer
in winter by means of wind
breaks and hedges? Your nurs-
eryman can tell you how. Un-
less a shade tree is correctly
located you may find the shade
from it when mature does not
fall where you wish it, or it
may shade your neighbor'S
property instead of your own.
It usually should be planted
west of the area to be shaded,
but there are certain exceptions
to this rule.
Your land is the. most perma-
nent asset Of your property.
Plant it we'll and you increase
the resale value of the home.
