MARK PETERSON
Mark A. Peterson is a conservation project coordinator for San Antonio Water System. With more than 30 years of experience as an urban forester and arborist, Mark is probably the only person you know who actually prunes trees for fun. When not expounding on the benefits of trees and limited lawns, you’re likely to find him hiking San Antonio’s wilderness parks or extolling the virtues of geography and history to his friends.
Timely Tips
May is mulch month. Apply 1 inch of mulch or mulch & compost mixture on all beds.
Replace cool season herbs like cilantro and mint with basil and oregano. Replace cool season color with warm season color like zinnias and periwinkle.
Apply beneficial nematodes to lawns and beds for grubs and chinch bugs.
