Gardeners and farmers in the eastern United States are urged to check pest killing requirements before moving soil. USDA experts at West Virginia University warn that even small non commercial soil transfers can spread pests and violate federal or state regulations. Authorities advise consulting local agricultural agents or postmasters to learn where soil must be treated by insecticide heat or fumigation to ensure safe shipment.

Spraying Dormant for Peach Leaf Curl Control
Peach leaf curl, common in Mountain State orchards, is treated only during tree dormancy. Overwintering spores on infected leaves germinate with spring rains, causing distorted pale green to red leaves and possible defoliation. A single thorough spray of bordeaux mix, fermium, or Elgetol kills spores before bud break. avoid spraying below freezing.
