13 Reference Guide Flower Bed Preparation Guide Flower Bed Preparation Guide In years of working with landscapers, golf courses, and commercial planting sites, we ve noticed two reasons why certain commercial sites consistently have success growing their bedding plants/flower beds: soil preparation and variety selection. The purpose of this Flower Bed Preparation Guide is to ensure that your bedding plants reach their full genetic potential. Variety Selections Not all varieties of annuals perform equally. We have tried to take the guess work out for you. Here at Gertens, we are constantly sorting through varieties, striving to find you the best garden performing varieties. So, whether you are getting the Super Sonic New Guinea Impatiens with their tremendous flowering potential or the Americana Geraniums with their enhanced vigor, you know you re purchasing the best! Soil Preparation The following garden preparation formulas have proven successful for typical garden sites in Minnesota. Remember, before any soil preparation takes place on a large commercial site, it s a good idea to have the University of Minnesota do a thorough soil evaluation test at their St. Paul campus soil testing facility. If you need help analyzing the results, you can bring them in and have one of our greenhouse production growers analyze the data. Generally, sandy or clay beds can be treated the same way (it is best to add enough volume to raise a clay bed, thereby increasing drainage). We advise only using a Grower Grade Peat Moss, (black bale peat moss). It is a young, coarse, blondecolored peat harvested from the top few inches of the bog. When mixed into poorer soils, it vastly enhances soil porosity, and helps suppress root disease that often shortens the performance duration of flowering bedding plants. General recommendations as follows: Full Sun Location: One-time soil correction recommendation for extremely poor quality existing soil or a brand new bed: Rates based on 100 square feet of bed-space (10 x 10 area) cu ft compressed bales of Grower Grade Peat Moss (approx. 1 cubic yard loose) 2 lbs pulverized or finely sieved Dolomitic Limestone 2 lb Magnesium Sulfate (Epson Salts) MgSO4 10 lbs Multicoat ( ) 7-8 month timed release fertilizer Thoroughly mix above ingredients by hand or with a tiller to a depth of approximately 8, into existing soil.

Hanging Basket and Container Garden Maintenance Most of our hanging baskets and Container Gardens contain an application of Multicoat timed release fertilizer added at planting. Supplementary feedings of liquid fertilizer on a bi-weekly basis will be beneficial. Careful attention to watering is necessary for hanging baskets especially in hot or windy weather. Gerten s planted baskets are planted in extra deep pots for additional soil holding capacity. Most include a special reservoir to aid in water retention.

20 Reference Guide Tree Planting Instructions 1. Dig the hole twice the width of the container or B&B root ball. 2. Amend soil with peat moss. 3. Gently slide the containerized plant out by tipping it on its side and applying pressure on the container. Score the roots if the have become root-bound. 4. Place the tree in the hole. The graft or truck flare (root union) should be 1 above the soil surface, which is how the tree planted in the container. If your soil is mainly clay, it may be best to plant the tree 3-6 above soil grade to increase water shed away from the plant. 5. Cut any twine wrapping. Peel back any metal and burlap from the top of ball. Push the burlap and metal down the sides of the hole and bury them when backfilling. 6. Backfill slowly, making sure the tree trunk stays vertical. 7. The tree may need to be staked if it starts to lean. Use rope that will not damage the bark of the tree. 8. Water the tree thoroughly. Continue watering the tree a couple of times a week by letting your hose trickle next to the trunk. Be sure to maintain adequate moisture throughout the growing season. 9. Adding 3-4 of wood mulch will help retain water. Do not pile mulch up against the tree trunk. XVII
