TOO MUCH FERTILIZER
When a shrub has been fertil
ized too much, no chemical can
be added to the soil to “neutra
lize” of “tie up” the excess sol
uble salts. One possible solution,
says Horticulturist Gerald E.
Smith of the Extension Service,
is to water the plant with one
or two heavy applications. The i
dea is to leach out of the soil
as much of the fertilizer as pos
sible.
