Get the greener grass on your side of the fence
The grass could be greener on
your side of the fence if you
heed these tips:
• Water your grass early in the
day and allow it to dry off by
sundown to help curb the spread
of lawn fungus and disease.
• To mow and grow a better
lawn, be sure your lawn gets a
half inch of water every five days
during the growing season.
• Deep, infrequent watering
encourages deep, healthy root
Remember to pay proper attention to such things
as watering, mowing, feeding and pest control to
have a lawn that looks its best all summer long
growth.
• Apply a selective weed and
feed product in the spring to
prevent broadleaf weeds like
dandelion and chicken weed

from robbing your lawn of
nutrients and moisture.
• To minimize stress on your
lawn, adjust mower blades to a
cutting height of two -and -a -half
inches in the spring and raise
blades to three inches in the fall.
• To help control lawn damage,
apply a lawn insecticide in early
spring while surface -feeding
insects are active.
• The best way to control
crabgrass is to apply a pre -
emergent crabgrass preventer to
stop it before it starts to grow.
• Aerate your lawn to introduce
oxygen into the turf, and leave
grass clippings on the lawn to
decay and return organic matter
to the soil over the mowing
season.
• Collect and discard
accumulated leaves, sticks and
droppings from trees to help
prevent lawn insects and
diseases.

Use care in your lawn care
As a responsible homeowner
concerned about yard
maintenance, you probably
know that pesticides, like other
household chemical products,
must be treated with respect and
handled with care.
What you may not know is
that the manufacturers of a
common pesticide ingredient in
weed control products 2,4-D
(which appears on the label as
some form of 2-4 dichloro-
phenoxyacetic acid), are
changing the labels of products
containing 2,4-D.
The new labels will prescribe
measures to reduce you and your
family's exposure to 2,4-D, and
.are relevant to the application of
other pesticides used around the
home.
Reading and following the
label directions is essential.
Label information also will
help you choose the right
product, let you know how much
to use, under what conditions to
use it and, finally, how to mix
and apply the product correctly.
The new 2,4-D labels will
describe protective clothing and
equipment, proper cleanup, the
amount and frequency of
application and access to treated
areas.
Until the new labels are in
place, you can reduce our

exposure to 2,4-D by following
these simple guidelines:
Protective clothing and
equipment
When using pesticides in
granular form, wear a long-
sleeved shirt, long pants, socks
and shoes.
For liquid pesticides with the
word "Caution" on the product
Zabel, wear a Tong -sleeved shirt,
long pants, socks, shoes and
rubber or chemical -resistant
gloves. When the labels are
modified, the exact type of glove
will be specified.
If the product carries the
"Warning" or "Danger" signal
words, wear eye protection, too.
Safety glasses should have
front, brow and temple
protection.
Cleanup
After using 2,4-D products in
granular form, remove clothing
and launder separately from
other clothing before reuse.
Promptly and thoroughly wash
hands and exposed skin with
soap and water.
After using 2,4-D products in
liquid form, rinse gloves before
removing, remove clothing and
launder separately from other
clothing before re -use.
Promptly and thoroughly wash
hands and exposed skin with
soap and water. nothing
becomes saturated, remove as
soon as possible and shower.
Frequency of application
Some pesticide products have
reduced application rates. The
new maximum rate will be
calculated for you on the product
label.
Be sure to read the label
directions for correct application
instructions. Treating an entire
yard must not be done more
than twice in one year.
Applying herbicides to
individual weeds or dumps of
unwanted plants as they crop up
— "spot applications" — often is
enough to control their spread •
without spraying the entire yard.
Access to treated areas
Do not allow people (other
than the applicator) or pets on
the treated area during
application.
Do not enter treated areas
until the spray has dried or dust
has settled.
