Compost adds organic matter and nutrients to the soil. Natural process for making compost kills most weed seeds. Some are concerned that chemicals may have been applied to lawn clippings disposed at the landfill. They apply the compost after a holding period, but one’s own discretion is advised. The City of Yankton uses this same compost in public space plant projects. Yankton Park & Recreation staff uses a mixture of about 25% compost with topsoil for re-seeding turf, flower planters, and planting trees. Adding more than 25% compost to topsoil is not recommended, as plants need benefits of soil too. Bring your own bucket and shovel because you load compost yourself. Gate attendant will show you where to drive to get the compost. Enjoy compost benefits over time.

Keep Yankton Beautiful (KYB) president Cheryl Sommer conferred with Lisa Kortan of Yankton Parks & Recreation for colorful and hardy plant choices. Sommer purchased flowers locally with a gift certificate from Modern Woodman. Purple, blue, yellow, and pink are in the color palette for petunias, marigolds, Salvia, Dusty Miller, and potato vines. When Sommer planted the flowers, she saw children from the soccer field come over to fill their water bottles with cold water at the fountain. Tennis courts are nearby. People walked by with their dogs. A dog fountain provided water for them too. Two benches contributed from the community gave a spot to rest. Four families and others contributed to the memorial for public use. Yankton Parks & Recreation will maintain and add flowerbeds to the memorial. Keep Yankton Beautiful sponsored the project through awarded grants and local contributions. • Roses can be grown in a container as an annual. Say you don’t have a flowerbed or the right soil or location. Or maybe you want to see the rose up close in a sunny location on your deck. Find a compact and disease resistant variety. As you choose your planter, recall that small containers dry out more quickly in the heat of summer. Water the rose when the soil surface is dry and continue until water Call 665-5884 to place your ad here. flows out of container drain holes. Nutrients leech out of containers with frequent watering, so add a dilute solution about weekly. Ease up on fertilizer during high heat stress. Trim off spent flowers and cut back as desired.
