Deer Repellant: Scram

Scram, a new product for Mountain Pine customers is to control deer browsing.

Scram is a granular product that is used as a perimeter barrier against deer browsing in the garden. It works on the defense mechanisms of the deer and keeps them out of the garden completely – not just away from certain plants.

Scram has no unpleasant odor and does not wash away under normal rains or regular irrigation. It is easily applied, lasts 6 to 8 weeks and even works through 18" of snow.

Mountain Pine Tested
Many landscape customers were asked to trial Scram in their gardens in 2004. In many severely infested areas these customers saw excellent results.

Mountain Pine feels that with Scram on the perimeter of the garden and Repellex – our ‘old faithful’ deer product– sprayed on the plants, even the most severe deer browsing can be kept under control allowing for beautiful gardens once again.

Remember, the key to successfully deterring deer from the garden is to start in March as new growth outside of your garden is readily available for deer to eat. Deer are very strong creatures of habit – deter them from eating in your yard early. Use any product at a stronger concentration in March and April rather than as maintenance in the summer. ~

CAT ALERT

Our cats, Buttons and George enjoy keeping the sales area clear of voles and chipmunks, unfortunately they seem to think that sneaking off for a ride with our customers is even more fun. If you have left your windows or sunroof open, please check your car for these fuzzy stowaways. Buttons is the black and white cat and George is the gray. Both are very friendly, they just like to play hooky when they should be working. ~

Healthy Soil . . . Healthy Plants

Why do you have such a hard time with the soil in your garden? Here’s the dirty truth: There simply is very little “soil”. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all had perfect soil that didn’t need anything added to it to grow perfect plants. Very few of us are that lucky.

Depending on where you live, most of our area has clay as the main soil ingredient, making drainage poor, and nutrients are unavailable to plants because of the lack of organic matter. But, you can always improve on what nature has given you. The key to successful gardening is “healthy soil.” This basic truth applies to all plants. Quite simply, when you feed the soil the proper nutrients, you let the soil feed the plants. So how do you “feed” the soil? Add organic matter such as compost, sand and peat moss. These soil amendments will improve your drainage and adds nutrients to your soil. Come in. We’ll show you how to really prepare your soil for spring. ~
