Trees & Shrubs
by Sharon Longshaw
One of the questions I’m asked most at this time of year is “when can I transplant my shrubs and trees?” This month and throughout the next several months will be good times to transplant trees and shrubs. At this time of the year, most ornamentals have entered into dormancy, and can be safely dug and replanted. The key to transplanting is to dig a large root ball (get as much of the root system as is possible). Equally important, is getting the plant back into the prepared soil as quickly as possible, to keep the roots from drying out. Use a good quality fertiliser and plenty of it. Large trees or shrubs should be staked to protect them from wind whipping during high winds and keep them staked until the roots have a chance to develop and anchor them. As soon as the leaves fall from fruit trees, shade or flowering trees, raspberries and other deciduous plants, they can be sprayed for the first time with a dormant spray. This spraying helps control over-wintering insects and diseases. Always apply according to label instructions, too much can lead to damage. Continue to watch for insect, slug and snail, or disease damage throughout the garden over winter, and take the necessary steps to control the problem. Lawns should of stopped growing so much now so it’s time to move the blade of your mower up a notch. Keep leaves raked from the lawn. They should be composted. Alternatively, you can just mow over them, turning them to mulch, which adds important nutrients back to the lawn.
Clean and oil your garden tools for winter storage. Place some sand and some oil in a large bucket, then slide your garden tools in and out of the sand. This will do an excellent job of cleaning them, as well as applying a light coat of oil to prevent rusting. This is also a good month to restock any tools that have seen better days, while the prices are lower. Please feed the birds and other small creatures that may not be able to find food due to snow on the ground or other causes. Their natural food sources have pretty much dried up by this time of the year. For only a few pounds you can feed an enormous number of birds.You don’t have to be a bird watcher to enjoy the feeling that you get when you’ve helped out one of Mother Nature’s creatures.
Happy Gardening Everyone!

A new condition dubbed “text neck” is on the rise due to the amount of time people spend hunched over their mobile phone and tablet computer screens. This painful condition, caused by flexing the neck for extended periods of time, can be a forerunner of permanent arthritic damage if it goes without treatment. Cases of the repetitive strain injury are on the rise as smart phones and tablet computers such as the iPad become increasingly popular, experts have said. In fact chiropractors have seen an increase in people seeking evaluation and treatment of complaints consisting of headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, as well as numbness and tingling of the upper extremities all related to texting.
12lb (4.5kg to 5.5kg), and flexing the neck makes it harder to support like carrying a similar weight at arm’s length.
Children are most at risk because their heads are larger in relation to their body size than adults, and women with slender necks should also take extra care to maintain a good posture. When the head is upright it’s like a balanced see
saw but when tipped forwards it needs a counter In severe cases the muscles can eventually force to keep it in that position. The longer it’s held adapt to fit the flexed position, making it painful to straighten the neck out properly. forwards the harder the muscles have to work The condition occurs because the joints and tissues in the neck are not built to withstand looking down for long periods, and spending hours peering at a screen puts them under too much stress.You know what happens when you sit on your foot or leg at an awkward angle, it feels sore and stiff. This is what is happening to peoples’ necks and if done too often or for too long could cause long term problems. The average human head weighs between 10lb to
causing them to tire, weaken and become painful. Taking regular screen breaks, and looking straight ahead while tucking the chin back towards the neck every few minutes can avoid the condition. Rotating the shoulders with your arms by your sides, sitting up straight while texting and holding the phone a little higher can also help maintain a healthy posture. Arif is a Doctor of Chiropractic, Medical Acupuncturist and Fellow of the International Chiropractic Paediatric Assoc. He has advised Schools, a Parliamentary Committee and featured on national TV and radio. He is the Director of The Cliffs Chiropractic Clinic in Westcliff

After Halloween, anti-social behaviour is usually a hot topic, and some residents across the Basildon area may have experienced anti-social behaviour at the hands of a minority of people using the festivities as an excuse to be a nuisance. A lot of people are not sure what kinds of anti-social behaviour to report to police, or to partner agencies such as the council. The term anti-social behaviour covers a wide range of selfish and unacceptable activity that can blight community life. It’s any form of intimidating or destructive activity that damages or destroys another person’s quality of life. Most types of anti-social behaviour fit into one of three categories:
1. Street problems e.g, intimidation, begging, public drug dealing, reckless driving on mini-motorbikes 2. Nuisance neighbours e.g, excessive noise, animal-related problems, harrassment and criminal damage 3. Environmental crime e.g, littering, graffiti, vandalism and fly-tipping Basildon district commander, Chief Insp Rachel Nolan, said: “Anti-social behaviour can make life unpleasant and lead to more serious crime so Essex Police take all reports of this very seriously. “If you have been a victim, please contact your neighbourhood policing team to discuss your concerns, and they can either deal with it or if it’s not for us to deal with, they will point you in the direction of the correct agency who can help you.” If you are experiencing any anti-social behaviour problems, please contact your local neighbourhood constable by visiting www.essex.police.uk and type in your postcode to find their contact details. Alternatively, please call Essex Police on 101 and ask to be put through to your local officer, or if you feel in immanent threat or danger, call 999. If the anti-social behaviour isn’t a matter for the police, please call the Basildon Borough Council anti-social behaviour team on 01268 465130 or email asb@basildon.gov.uk. If you have complaint about firework noise or safety please contact Basildon Council’s Environmental Health Services on 01268 294280.
