Gardener” Aug. 12, host Walter Reeves visits with David

Any container that holds water will do, Robinson says. He
shows how put in support the
pots, put in plants and fertilize them for a beautiful water
garden.

Reeves and University of Georgia horticulturist Wayne
McLaurin also show how to build a
simple compost bin out of fence wire. Compost is important for
a soil-rich garden.

Reeves shows how to do maintenance pruning of shrubs and
trees, too. He demonstrates a
new pruner and tells why trees and shrubs sometimes need
pruning in the summer.
