BASX Solutions gifted American
flag flown at DAR headquarters
By SPOKESMAN STAFF
The Daughters of the Amer-
ican Revolution surprised Dave
Benson and Matt Tobolski of
BASX Solutions in Redmond
with a special American flag that
was flown at the DAR headquar-
ters in Washington, D.C.
Teresa Pitman and Lori Nie-
derhof of DAR said how much
they appreciate BASX for its
support of local veterans in the
Redmond community.
BASX Solutions employs
about 30 veterans that represent
all branches of the military.
“Our veteran staff are some
of the hardest working and ded-
icated staff in the company. We
really appreciate their service to
our country as well as their com-
mitment to excellence on the
job,” said marketing specialist
Dawn LaPolla.
This year, BASX veteran em-
ployees can participate in a new

sored by the company. In addi-

THE TREE IS SUCCESSFULLY
PLANTED. SHOULD YOU MULCH
IT IN?
A) No, it wasn’t mulched in
the container.
B) Yes, pile it up around the
collar to protect the trunk and
roots.
C) Yes, spread a layer over the
roots.
C is the best answer. A 2 to
4-inch layer of organic mulch
spread over the trees’ root is
plenty to keep roots insulated
from the freeze-thaw cycle that
damages plant roots. Be sure to
start about 6 inches away from
the tree’s trunk so you don’t at-
tract rodents and insect dam-
age. If you have voles you may
consider skipping the mulch
altogether — they love to tunnel
in soft mulch.
digging dogs. We have also
learned that bone meal only
contains phosphorous and not
any other nutrients that the
bulbs need.
Putting fertilizer in the hole
with the bulb can be risky be-
cause there is a chance the fer-
tilizer could burn the roots. The
most earth-friendly way to feed
perennial bulbs is to topdress
with compost in fall and spring.
If your flowers aren’t bloom-
ing like they should, you might
want to put a slow-release bulb
fertilizer on top of the soil in
fall. That’s when the roots are
most actively taking up nutri-
ents. And remember, in the
spring after the bloom, do not
cut back the foliage.
Winter dehydration is a prob-
lem in our climate. We can’t
count on a good snow cover to
provide the moisture. Keep the
watering can handy to be used if
necessary, especially if you value
any new fall planting. A re-
minder: If you are using a hose,
be sure to disconnect from an
outdoor spigot after each use.
