  • Biodegradable Flowerpots
    Yard and Garden – 02-11-2017 - Ted Griess / Extension Horticulture Assistant In March of 2015, I wrote about the single-use, plastic bag; a serious waste pollution problem. Unfortunately, since then, little has changed regarding this crisis. With the countryside now void of crops, one does not have to look far to see this ugly form of pollution fluttering in the wind as these throw-away bags cling to crop stubble and other remnants of vegetation. For decades, single-use plastic bags have generated an aesthetic problem and of late have become a bigger problem in landfills and throughout waterways. The majority of these bags are non-biodegradable. When something is classified as non-biodegradable, it means the materials from which it is made cannot be broken down into their base compounds by microorganisms, air, and moisture in a reasonable amount of time. Thus, it can take thousands of years before these bags will completely decompose. Such waste is a critical environmental concern. Did you know that we gardeners have become a major contributor to another environmental problem, also involving non-biodegradable materials? Imagine for a moment, as spring draws near, you are dreaming of kneeling by your flower border, removing new seedling plants from their flowerpots and planting them. With eager anticipation, you continue to dream about how these new plants will soon beautify your landscape. Herein lies the problem― how do you dispose of the flowerpots? Most disposable flowerpots are made of non-biodegradable, petroleum-based plastic materials, and most will likely end up in the landfill as garbage.

Today, urban or community forestry programs are an important component in the overall quality of life in our urban areas. Trees are everywhere in our cities and towns: along streets and highways, in parks, residential, and commercial properties. Many studies and surveys indicate that urban and community forests are in decline. In most cases, this decline is due to a lack of management, or in some cases, mismanagement. To reverse this trend, many cities and towns have developed community forestry programs with the goal of creating and maintaining a long-term urban forestry management program. After the devastating ice storm of 2002, the City of Enid was awarded an Urban Forestry Grant. Its purpose was to hire an urban forester to conduct a tree inventory of all city-owned property and rights-of-way and to develop a forestry master plan for Enid. A Tree Board was established to oversee the development and implementation of this master plan. The goals and objectives of this plan include proper tree pruning, planting, maintenance, and to provide the public with educational information regarding trees and their care. This Tree Guide is meant to be an Enid specific planting and maintenance guide, as well as to provide a resource for Enid residents to address some of the most common problems in our urban landscape. We can only improve our urban forest with the efforts of private citizens in removing dead trees that pose disease problems to surrounding healthy trees, in planting new trees and keeping them healthy, and in maintaining our mature trees.

    University of Arizona Yavapai County Cooperative Extension Yavapai Gardens Master Gardener Newsletter April-May 2021 Perennial Vines Originally printed in “Hortnews” May 1997; some changes have been included in this version. by Nora Graf Perennial Vines can be a good addition to a landscape if you have a place for them to grow. Vines climb by s e v e r a l d i f f e r e n t mechanisms. Tendril-climbers wrap tendrils, which are slender, and flexible side-shoots around anything they can. (Think pea vines). They can easily be trained to climb trellises, fences, wires, posts, etc. They don’t climb untextured walls or something that lacks structural support for the tendrils to grab onto. There are both stem tendrils (grapes) and leaf tendrils (peas). Tendrils with adhesive disks—these plants have tendrils with sticky surfaces at the end (Boston Ivy). Twining is where the stems wrap around a support. They are either twining leaves or twining stems. Twining leaves are where young leaves twist around wire, strings, other leaves, etc. to support them (Clematis, vining nasturtiums). Twining stems twist around whatever they touch. The direction of the twining depends on the species of the plant. Some go Table of Contents clockwise, some counterclockwise, (pole beans, Morning glory, Honeysuckle).

  • The Myth of Drainage Material in Container Plantings: "Add a Layer of Gravel Or Other Coarse Material in the Bottom of Containers to Improve Drainage"
    Linda Chalker-Scott, Ph.D., Extension Horticulturist and Associate Professor, Puyallup Research and Extension Center, Washington State University The Myth of Drainage Material in Container Plantings: "Add a layer of gravel or other coarse material in the bottom of containers to improve drainage" The Myth This is just one of those myths that refuses to die, regardless of solid scientific evidence to the contrary! Nearly every book or web site on container gardening recommends placing coarse material at the bottom of containers for drainage. The materials most often recommended for this practice are sand, gravel, pebbles, and pot shards. Other ‘benefits’ often mentioned include preventing creatures from entering through the drain holes, and stabilizing the container. Some of these recommendations are quite specific and scientific sounding. Consider this advice from a 1960’s book on container plants: “Adequate drainage is secured by covering the hole in the bottom of the pot with a piece of broken flowerpot, concave side down; this in turn is covered with a layer (1/2" to 1" deep) of flowerpot chips. On top of this, a 1/4" to 3/8" layer of coarse organic material, such as flaky leaf mold, is placed.” The advice seems to make perfect sense, and it’s presented so precisely. After all, we know that plants need good drainage so their roots receive adequate oxygen, and we also know that water passes through coarsely textured material faster than it does fine material. So what’s not to like? The Reality Nearly 100 years ago, soil scientists demonstrated that water does not move easily from layers of finer textured materials to layers of more coarse textured.
