They love to pass along their knowledge or some new tip they have heard of. Red Bluff Garden Club members are always seeking out new ideas to try out and then are happy to share that information with others. The following is an assortment of helpful tips and gardening infor- mation collected over the years, and yes, most from other gardeners. Hot weather is upon us and these By DIANE CLELAND If you know anything about gar- are ways to save water in your gar- den. Set you automatic sprinklers to run in the early morning and finish before 8 am, this will reduce evapo- ration. You will also find that plant disease and water damage are reduced. Observe your sprinklers as they run. Adjust them as necessary to reduce overspray on sidewalks, roads and patios, etc. Repair dam- aged sprinklers immediately. Quick repairs and adjustments can save as much as 500 gallons each year. Minimize water loss in pots by planting time. Polymers store water for plants' use as the soil dries. When is the "right time" to divide plants? The general rule is that you divide plants in the oppo- site season of their bloom, in other words, divide summer or fall bloomers in the spring and spring bloomers in early fall. Birdbaths filled with slimy green algae? To keep algae down in your birdbath spread pennies over the bottom, I have tried this and it works well. Another trick is to fill your birdbath with fresh water and place six to eight stems of lavender flow- ers bound together with a daylily leaf and lay the bundle in the water. (My grandmother used this trick). One bundle of lavender will keep the water algae-free for two or three weeks. During really hot weather change more frequently. using water-retentive potting soils in all container gardens. Add soil polymers to your potting soil at Disinfecting your pruners between cuts is an important way to keep your plants healthy and dis- ease-free. When using your prun- ing tools to cut diseased stems or branches, disinfect them after each pruning session with a solution of three parts rubbing alcohol and one part water. Keep the mixture in a clearly labeled spray bottle, soak cutting surfaces with it and then wipe the pruners dry with a cloth to prevent rust. When deadheading or pruning your rose bushes use a Clorox disinfectant wipe to clean the blades of your clippers after each rosebush. Did you know that bananas are good for your roses? Forget expen- sive fertilizers for your garden. Old banana peels work just as well for growing fabulous flowers and yummy veggies. That is because they are rich in potassium and phos- phorus. Banana peels are especially helpful for roses. Save them until they are crisp and crumbly, cut them into small pieces, and bury them a few inches in the soil around your rosebush.
