Despite Rain Keep Watering the Lawn and Trees [AUDIO]
UNDATED - We got some much-needed rain this morning. But, is it enough for your trees? Stearns and Benton County Horticulturist Janelle Daberkow says the rain is nice, but keep watering.
Daberkow says the trees, and your lawn, need about an inch of rain each week.
She says, when you water your trees, be sure to water the entire area beneath the leaves - not just at the base.
