WHY FERTILIZE YOUR LAWN THIS FALL?
A lawn should be fertilized in the spring, summer
and fall, but the fall is probably the most
important time to fertilize lawn grasses. Fall
fertilizing stimulates a lawn to become thick and
strong rather than increasing the top growth.
In the fall, grass plants utilize fertilizer to
manufacture food while, due to the cool
temperatures, other plant processes are slowed
down. Some fertilizer is stored in the plant tissues
to produce a dense, green lawn early in the
spring.
A fall fertilizer supplies a homeowner with more
value for the money spent. More nutrients are
used in the direct maintenance of lawn density
and its green colour. Try a fertilizer application this
fall.

Immunization doesn't cause autism, diabetes,
brain damage, multiple sclerosis or even
Alzheimers. What it does do is protect against
some very debilitating illnesses. When is the last
time you saw a case of polio? Before the early 50's, this was a real
worry for all parents and everyone then knew of someone who had
polio. Not anymore. Immunization works.
When you have a serious burn, you can prevent further damage
to your skin if you cool the skin immediately in some cool water and
leave the area submersed for at least 30 minutes. It will also
reduce the pain considerably.
It is unsafe to use other people's prescription medications. A
prescription medication is chosen for a particular person for a
particular reason. What works for one person may be deadly for
another. Don't share!
We spend about 1000 hours per year eating. If we spend one-third
of that exercising (about 1 hour per day) and keep our bodies in
good working order by eating the right food (follow Canada's Food
Guide), we have the secret of a long and healthy life.
