TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE PLANTS AND TREES HAPPY

1. CHECK - Use a screwdriver or other tool and gently push it 6-8 inches into the ground. If the soil is dry and crumbly, it may be time to water again.
2. WATER - When watering your tree, think low and slow. Water at ground level to avoid losing water to evaporation.
