Part of protecting your automobile investment is finding an auto
repair shop you can trust. A trustworthy mechanic whom you're
comfortable with can ease any concerns you have when taking
the car in for maintenance, whether that maintenance is a
routine tuneup or more extensive repairs. Though mechanics
differ greatly, find one you can trust and one who knows your
car.
Lisa’s Avant Gardener Tips of the Week
• Fertilize lawns with one pound of nitrogen per 1000 square feet;
water in after application.
• Cut back azaleas and rhododendrons after blooms if too tall, thin out
weak branches. Remember that pruning will result in no blooms on
that branch next year.
• Watch for fl ea beetles on cole crops; remove by hand or spray with an
approved insecticide.
