<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Do you see these conditions in your garden? They
are triggered by various parasitic fungi that cause leaf spots, rusts, powdery
mildew, and cankers. They overwinter in the soil, debris under the plants,
cracks in the bark, and in spores attached to the plant. Fungi obtain nutrients
by inserting root-like organs (mycelium) into host plants or dead organic
matter. Warmer weather and rain will promote the production of spores which can
be disseminated by wind and rain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CM2" style="margin-bottom: 10.4pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">With a few gardening activities, one can focus on
ways to lessen future disease problems. Sanitation is one of the most important
methods of maintaining a healthy garden. It will reduce the amount of disease
causing fungi present in the area thus reducing the amount of potential disease next season. In some instances, an effective fungicide is not
available, is too expensive, or is difficult for the homeowner to effectively
spray over the entire plant (e.g. trees). In these situations, good sanitation
practices can be one of your strongest weapons to help reduce diseases and keep
them from spreading. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CM2" style="margin-bottom: 10.4pt;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Storm damaged trees left standing after general storm clearance
activities have been completed can become hazardous. Trees that could quickly
develop into hazards need to be evaluated and treated or removed. Good storm
damage management is much more cost-effective over the long run than cleaning
up fallen materials now and reacting to tree problems in the future. Evaluations
should be performed by a certified arborist before or at the time of initial
storm damage service. The goal is to minimize risk and protect assets,
including the tree itself. Always remember to take proper safety precautions
when dealing with and fixing storm damaged trees.</span></div>

Sunshine abundance differs across every garden and
landscape. It is important to determine how much sun each area of your garden
gets before adding new plants or creating a landscape design. When you’re
calculating the amount of light your garden gets, don’t forget shrubs, trees
and structures will provide shade in different places at different times of day.
It is also important to note that the afternoon sun is stronger than the morning
sun and is often not tolerated well by plants needing partial shade, especially
here in Georgia. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The easiest way to determine how much light your garden
gets is to spend a day monitoring light levels. Start at 10 AM and check every
two hours to see what level of shade you see in your garden. If you don’t have
time to calculate the light in your garden over a full year, just remember that
the sun remains closer to the horizon during winter and will cause even small
structures to cast large shadows.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Lately there has been an increasing number of articles about coyotes in the local news, especially since the introduction of the "Coyote Challenge" in 2017. Many Cobb residents are concerned by the increased number of publicized sightings, and the transmission of the rabies virus. In this Blog we will touch on several subjects about coyotes such as history, biology, conflict, and control methods for here in Cobb County.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>History</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The coyote (<i>Canis latrans</i>) is a member of the Canid family, and a native species to North America that has a rich cultural heritage especially among Native Americans. Historically they were thought of as a trickster and teacher to humans, but were later considered pests by migrating farmers. Their original range consisted of the Great Plains of the mid-west and parts of Mexico and Canada. However with the onset of the 20th century they started spreading across all of North America, possibly due to excessive hunting, and the lack of competition from wolves which were also heavily hunted.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Biology:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Coyotes are much smaller than wolves weighing in at around 15-50 lbs and standing around 21-24 inches at the shoulder. They are opportunistic feeders which has been a key component to their success, they scavenge, forager, and hunt for their food. They feed on a wide variety of items such as; carrion, fruits, vegetables, nuts, insects, and small mammals.They are predominantly lone nocturnal hunters, but will occasionally hunt in the day time, and sometimes in pairs. They are generally monogamous and will mate for life. Females will typically have between 4-6 pups per a litter each year, and The pups reach maturity around 9 months of age. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Habitat:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Currently coyotes can be found as far north as Alaska, and as far south as Panama. They are highly adaptive animals, and can be found in almost every environment on earth. Here in Cobb County they will predominantly hide in forested areas, uncut fields, and abandoned lots, but they will go where the food is. Sightings in cities are not uncommon due to increased populations of rodents.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Conflict:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Coyotes will prey upon cats or small dogs, however the risk decreases based on the dogs size. They are usually wary of large dogs similar to how they were with wolves, and will avoid conflict. They will also prey upon small farm animals such as sheep, goats, and chickens. They can also damage property by making their den in tool sheds, barns and around vacant houses. Many are also concerned about the rabies virus which they can carry, however the primary distributor of the virus on the eastern seaboard is raccoons. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Control:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Though coyotes can be hunted year around with a hunting license this is not always an option for people in a residential area, and not always a preferred method. There are many different options of control for home owners, some examples of which are listed below.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Exclusion:</b> Proper Fencing in parts or all of your yard, keeping in mind they can dig, and jump. </li>
<li><b>Habitat Modification: </b>Keeping your yard maintained and your grass cut, making the area hard for them to hide in. Clearing property of debris piles and keeping it well light, can help reduce their activity in your area.</li>
<li><b>Cultural: </b>Keeping trash cans and pet food secure, and also using the correct bird seed to avoid attracting rodents and other small mammals to your property. </li>
<li><b>Repellents: </b>Noise makers, loud sounds and lights work, but they should be used sparingly otherwise they will become accustom to them. </li>
<li><b>Guard Animals:</b> Large trained dogs can deter coyotes, and there are several species bred for that purpose. Research also suggests that Donkeys and Llamas have been used successfully to defend herds from predation. Both animals have a natural dislike of canids and will act aggressively towards them.</li>
<li><b>Lethal: </b>If trapping and killing is required, it is recommend that you contacted a licensed wildlife removal specialist. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Benefits:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Though many people identify coyotes as a nuisance, they play a very important role in the food chain and help balance the ecosystem. They are important in reducing rodent populations, but they also help control the deer population. According to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the number of fawns per a doe surviving to hunting season has reduced by 22% since the mid-1990's. </div>

Now is the time many animals are seeking shelter from the coming cool months, and many times that shelter can also be our own home. Here are a few tips and a wonderful publication from UGA to help prepare yourself for more than just the holidays. Most of the information below was provided by Michael T. Mengak from the Warrnell School of Forestry and Natural Resource at UGA. <br />

For more information on solving human- nuisance wildlife conflicts follow the link below, and always remember animals always need food, water, and shelter. If you can remove one of those three pillar requirements from your home the animals will likely move on, or not even bother choosing your home as their winter shelter.</div>

However, even the most wonderfully healthy plant will struggle if it is set into an inadequate or improperly prepared hole in the ground.<br />
<br />
In the publication "<a href="http://extension.uga.edu/publications/files/pdf/B%20932_3.PDF">Soil Preparation and Planting Procedures for Ornamental Plants in the Landscape</a>," UGA's Gary Wade says that a big enough hole will be "at least twice as wide as the root ball" and only about as deep as that same root ball.<br />
<br />
The temptation is to add compost or other organic amendments to break up the red clay that is in many of our yards. Wade says, though, that all that organic matter "can act like a sponge in the planting hole, absorbing and holding too much moisture and causing the roots to stay too wet."<br />
<br />
He says that, instead, it is best to pack the same soil removed from the hole back in around the root ball. Be sure to remove and wires or burlap before planting, eliminate air pockets by watering-in the plant, and apply mulch in a doughnut-like circle around the plant to protect it from weeds and lawn-mower damage.Cobb County Extensionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03331826692868474299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217545140061806490.post-11696547288172892642016-08-09T12:25:00.000-04:002016-08-09T12:25:05.125-04:00New Local Food Grant from Food Well AllianceFood Well Alliance has scheduled an information session to be held at Cobb Extension about <a href="http://www.foodwellalliance.org/localfoodgrant/">its next Local Food Grant</a>.<br />
