Pruning
Tips with Kay Bennett.
What is the proper method for pruning trees? Kay shows us

Entomologist, Kris Bramen
discusses the Spittle bug and its' effect on our lawns.
If you notice brownish
circles on your lawn and a mucus like substance you may
have Spittle Bugs. The Spittle Bug is tent shaped, black
with two red stripes on its' abdomen. They can be harmful
to your lawn. A high moisture environment is disruptive
to them. One solution, keep your grass mowed to the proper
height. Adult Spittle Bugs can also damage Hollies.
