The good, the bad and the ugly in the home garden; what
does that mean?
Obviously the good is luscious fresh vegetables and
beautiful flowers. As gardeners, we all know that, in spite of our good intentions
and hard work, it doesn’t always happen. Often it is because we don’t use the
best fertilizer or perhaps we use the incorrect amount and therefore we have
the bad.
The ugly is when we use fertilizer incorrectly and our environment suffers
the consequences.
So, how can we have beautiful, productive gardens while
protecting our environment? Master Gardener, Jack Resser, will explain the
elements that make up fertilizer and how to use it safely while protecting our
natural resources at the April 7th Toolbox, at 5:00 p.m. at the McCracken County
Extension Office, 2705 Olivet Church Road in Paducah. The free program does not
require advance registration and qualifies for one educational hour for Master
Gardener certification.
