'be kept
over winter
9.
There are many ways to kelp
your geraniums alive over
winter. Geraniums can be kept
in an almost ,dormant state in a
cool or' basement. 'If this is
not possr.Ie; the simplest
ethod, say horticulturists with
the , Ontario Department of
Ag ' l.ture .and Food, is to take
cuttings. '
Cut off -young vigorous
shoots about 2 or 3 inches long.
Put them in a pot of clean sand
and water well.. Keep rhoisture.,in_..
by placing a plastic bag over the
pot. To speed up rooting, keep
the 'pot in.a warm place at about
75 degrees. Leave the soil barely
moistr-, if it is too wet, the
cutting will be more susceptible
to disease.
When the cuttings , are —
well -rooted, re -pot theni' in a
good well -drained soil,: Give
''them as much light as possible,
and pinch back to ensure bushy
plants for next spring.
continued keep the pressure on.
Enough complaints a'rom enough
people will eventually get action.
The anti pollution suggestions.
also asked that everyone refuse
to buy the products , of
manufacturers who `cause
refuse to do anything about it.
The report asks that everyone
refuse to buy non returnable
bottles or to use aluminum cans.
Re -use everything,'it says, check.
into the possibility of having
community collections . of
anything that can be recycled
within economic reason.
Press for action in having eye
sores either cleaned up or
"camouflaged. When camping.
"picnicing or travelling take all
garbage back with you to the
nearest proper disposal site. (11'
you carried it there full you can
certainly carry it back empty.)
Be sure" your ear is kept in
good condition to ensure it•
causes a minimum of air and'
noise pollution. Demand and use
any available car equipment that
lessens pollution. .
Carry ra. pair of rubber gloves
and a plastic bag in Kour car for
picking up and disposing of Fitter
left by slobs. If there aren't any
refuse containers in ' your area
see,„„tk tt...ssat __ate4laced .there.
Put garden and,titchen refuse
in a compost heap. Turn it into'
good earth instead' ot4. an air
pollutant. Don't, brim leaves,
they will rot into the•soil.'•
Keep the oke ofchemical
pesticides and fungicides to a
minimum. Follow directions
exactly. Use only those which
break down rapidly so that
poisonou' residue does not build
up.
Cut down on the unnecessary
use of paper products. Use cloth
„napkins and ,rags instead of
paper towels.
' .Write letters to praise,
condemn, question, et quire and
support wherever tiogsible and
do asmuch as possible toward
solving this problem.
