Products from dead or dying yard trees
What products can you get from dead or dying trees in your yard? Every type of wood has its good points and its bad points. Elm dries quickly, making it good for firewood; red oak works well for interior cabinets or paneling; white oak, a rot-resistant wood, can be used for boats, posts, or outdoor construction. Wood products you could make from your removed trees: Firewood
Firewood is a common use of dead or dying trees. This is a good idea if your trees are small, crooked, or you have leftover limbs and scraps from making other wood products. You should dry firewood before you use or sell it. Oak should be dried for two years because it looses moisture slowly. Elm needs to dry one year. The drier the wood the cleaner it burns. NOTE: Firewood cut from fresh trees or trees recently infested by insects and disease can contribute to the spread of pests to nearby healthy trees. Because of this, many communities have ordinances to guide you in storing your firewood. If your community has no ordinances, treat your firewood by (1) removing the bark while the log is still green, or (2) cut the tree into firewood lengths and stack so both ends of the log are exposed to good air flow for faster drying. For fresh green wood from April 15 until July 1, totally cover the pile with heavy plastic (4-6 mil) taking care to bury the edges of the tarp with soil.

Fruit Trees In The Home Yard
A home fruit planting can provide tasty, fresh ripe fruit for family use or sale. Tree fruits add beauty to the landscape, excitement to meals and are a place to grow and work. There is pride, enjoyment and relaxation in growing and harvesting fruit. It brings families and friends together for enjoyment and friendship. A well planned fruit garden will supply fresh fruit at peak quality all summer long which cannot be matched in the grocery market. In addition, fruit trees serve a triple purpose: food, shade and beauty. Fruit provides vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and fiber which are all important to the human diet. If you plant carefully select kinds and varieties, the rewards will be immeasurable. Success will depend on proper planning according to space, climate, site, variety selection and efficient cultural care. Table 1 provides information for planning a successful fruit garden.

and Martha Stewart gets my goat too.... Don't carry myths around with you when doing yard care and gardening Gardening and lawn care have long been a compost heap of myths, nearly all of them questionable, if not downright erroneous. Here are a few to watch out for: "Lawn mower manufacturers create five height settings on lawn mowers so that I can opt for the lowest setting and ignore the other four the entire rest of my life." Seriously, that's what must be going through the heads of homeowners who commit the number-one mistake in lawn care: mowing one's lawn too short. I have a guy down the road from me with an enormous lawn that he cuts with a rider set so low the grass blade is cut to around half an inch. I'm surprised he hasn't taken the tires off his tractor and tried running it on the hubs to get an even closer shave. Want another key benefit? Consider that you should only remove 1/3 of the grass blade when you mow. Cut any more and it stresses the plant. Well, if my neighbor is cutting his lawn to one inch, he has to cut it when it grows to an inch and a half, if he hopes to maintain his status as Lawn God Of Western Deephaven. His lawn will grow that half an inch in just more than two days during times grass is most active. So he gets to mow his lawn two and even three times a week.

6. Spring Yard Care
Nonflowering trees and shrubs generally do not need to be fertilized everyyear. This is a very general plan for taking care of your yard.
http://www.emmitsburg.net/gardens/articles/frederick/2003/spring_yard_care.htm
Spring Yard Care Phyllis Heuerman
Frederick County Master Gardener Program
Spring is late this year and many gardening chores that we normally start in March may have to wait until April. However, don't worry about it. Nature has a way of catching up. And, with the wet winter we have had, we can anticipate a glorious gardening season this year. The first thing I must say, is don't rush things. You will do more harm than good if you try to walk on soggy lawns and gardens, or turn over soil that is too wet. You will compact the soil and destroy its texture. Instead of sloshing around out there, take this time to do some planning and preparation. Decide upon the plan of your vegetable garden, and decide what new plants you will add to your ornamental garden. Check all of your tools and your lawn mower. If you did not do it in the fall, clean your tools and have them sharpened. Clean and tune up your lawn mower, and sharpen the blades. If it is not too wet, begin turning your compost piles. Once your yard has dried up, you can prune shrubs and trees that need attention, except those that bloom in the spring. Spring-blooming shrubs should be pruned right after they bloom. You should also start to clean your garden of debris. Remove leaves, trash and any extra mulch you put over plants for winter protection. Once it starts to turn green, rake your lawn to remove dead grass, leaves, etc.

Two-lined chestnut borers
Oaks dying due to insect infestation
By Mike and Jana Albers, DNR Forest Health Specialists This summer it is fairly common to see oaks that are dying due to infestation by two-lined chestnut borers (TLCB) from Bemidji to Grand Rapids to Mora. TLCB have attacked oak trees stressed by the recent forest tent caterpillar outbreaks, local droughts and/ or construction damage. The two-lined chestnut borer, Agrilus bilineatus, is an opportunistic insect that attacks weakened oak trees. It is a native beetle known to attack all oak species found in Minnesota, red oak being its preferred host. When trees and stands are healthy, TLCB confines its attack to low-vigor trees or broken branches. When drought stress, construction and/or defoliation have reduced tree vigor, oaks are predisposed to TLCB attack. Under severe stress conditions, widespread outbreaks of TLCB can occur. Adult beetles seek out and lay eggs on weakened oaks in late May and June. From June to August, larvae feed on the inner bark of live branches and stems which destroys nutrient and water conducting tissues causing the foliage to turn brown and hang on the branches. Larvae create meandering galleries on the surface of the wood which are visible if patches of bark are cut off infested branches or stems. Larvae are white with an enlarged head and slender segmented body, are about 1 and 1/4 inch long when fully grown, and have two spines at the tip of their abdomens. Larvae pupate under the bark where they overwinter. They emerge as adults through D-shaped exit holes in the bark the next May and June

Making Compost - The Art of Backyard Composting
If you work with people who are interested in gardening or environmental issues, you'll already know that composting and mulching are enjoying a newfound popularity. More and more people are mulching and installing composters in their backyard or worm composters in their homes and as a result, reducing their total household solid waste by up to 30 percent. Unlike compost enthusiasts of the past, however, many of these people aren't composting primarily to produce a garden nutrient - they are interested in learning how to reduce their household's solid waste. Fortunately, with the magic of composting and mulching, they can do both! For the latest information about home composting, download " Here's the Dirt: A Guide to Home Composting ".

What is natural lawn care? Quite simply, it is caring for your lawn with nature in mind: mowing without catching the clippings or raking and bagging them; using biological pest control methods rather than synthetic pesticides and herbicides; reducing water use; planting waterwise plant species; and/or replacing traditional lawn with alternate groundcovers that work just as well with much less care (and waste). Interested in finding out more? Take a look at Natural Lawn Care or give the NSRP a call ( ). If you're interested in trying a new way of caring for your lawn, try your hand at grasscycling first. Just ask us or your lawn-care specialist how to convert your mower to a mulching mower or trade in your conventional mower for a specialized electric mulching mower, which actually cuts the grass blades into the tiniest of pieces then blows them deep down into your lawn, providing a free, mulching fertilizer. The benefit is less mess, less air pollution, and a healthier lawn. Better yet, get in on the resurgence in push mower use - they are quiet, fairly inexpensive compared to power mowers, and they do just as good a job, particularly in smaller lawn areas! Once you've mastered the art of leaving your clippings on the lawn, you can try your hand at the other steps in Natural Lawn Care. Following are 6 simple steps to help you make the move to a more natural lawn care program:
  • Mow High, Mow Often and Leave the Clippings:

    Maintaining a healthy lawn and garden not only makes a home more attractive, it also has environmental benefits. Flower and vegetable gardens can be homegrown and pesticide-free sources of food and inspiration. Healthy lawns, coupled with trees and shrubs, can help prevent soil erosion. The care and attention you give to proper gardening, landscaping, and yard care can pay dividends to both your health and the environment. Consider these one dozen ways you can care for your lawn and garden:
  • Use organic gardening techniques, such as netting or companion planting to keep insects from plants, pull weeds instead of using herbicides, and cover your garden with plastic in the fall to prevent weed germination. Many commercial pesticides and herbicides are poisons that may cause serious damage to your skin, eyes, nervous and respiratory systems, and internal organs. Applied around the home, many pesticides and herbicides build up in plants and soil and in the organisms that eat those plants. As they work their way up the food chain, they may become more concentrated. If you feel you must use chemical pesticides, be sure you know the identity of the pest you want to control, purchase the right product, and carefully follow label directions.
