Planting Evergreens in August for Fall Establishment
Garden advice urges August or early September planting of container grown or balled and burlapped evergreens such as pines junipers and spruces. Water every 7-10 days deeply to 10-12 inches and apply a heavy mulch before frost to help roots grow after soil freezes. An Iowa State extension horticulturist notes this timing improves establishment before freezing.

Duck Banding Provides Important Information in Iowa
The State Conservation Commission runs a summer duck banding program in northern Iowa’s prairie pothole region from mid July to late August. Banding targets young Iowa ducks, mainly mallards redheads teals and wood ducks with teal most common. Biologists use bands to map migration routes and estimate annual harvests. The program, with the Fish and Wildlife Service, notes a strong hatch this year due to high water creating nesting habitat. Methods include night lighting with a dip net in July and bait traps in August, aiming to band over 2 000 ducks. Bands carry a note to report recoveries to Washington and hunters are asked to mail bands with location sex and age info.
