Not all bamboo is created equal.That’s the message that Michael
Veracka, department chairperson andassistant professor of ornamental hor-ticulture at Farmingdale State Col-lege, is trying to get across. There isconcern among Long Islanders thatbamboo is an invasive plant, whichcan quickly spread across propertyboundaries and become an issue be-tween neighbors. Because of this, atleast eight Long Island municipalitieshave banned bamboo, and others areconsidering similar bans. Verackastrongly disagrees with this.
“It’s a knee-jerk reaction,” saysVeracka about proposed laws to banhomeowners from planting bambooon their property. “Many bamboostay right where you want them to.What I find disturbing – we wouldhope people would not indiscrimi-nately ban an entire genre of plant.”
Veracka says that there are morethan 1,400 species of bamboo andspecifically separates bamboo into
two categories: “running” bambooand “clumping” bamboo. He saysthat running bamboo species canindeed get out of control and spreadacross boundaries if not properlymaintained and left unchecked.However, by contrast, he says thatclumping bamboo does not. Headds that bamboo is not truly classi-fied as an invasive plant, and that itis shortsighted to ban all varieties ofbamboo because some varietieshave a tendency to spread out.
“[Our] objective is to let peopleknow that when you indiscriminate-ly ban all bamboo, you are doing adisservice,” says Veracka. “There aremany varieties of bamboo that fallunder the clumping bamboo charac-teristic, that do not have rhizomesand do not spread under ground.”
To reach that objective of spread-ing the message, a conference titled,“Bamboo – Every Plant Has ItsRightful Place,” will be held on Fri-day Oct. 19, at Farmingdale StateCollege from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Ver-acka hopes that the conference willenlighten the public and help to dis-
pel the misconception that all bam-boo is problematic.
“The conference is to address theattention on bamboo and to say,‘Let’s examine why we have thisproblem.’” Veracka commented.“It’s mostly because everyone isplanting this very tall bamboo andare not aware of the other types.The thing that I would hope comesout of the conference is you get to-gether and have a discussion, basedon science, about how plants func-tion and what their genetics are.”
Veracka has grown bamboo in hisown personal garden since 1982.He planted “running” bamboo andit did indeed escape the barrier hehad installed to control it. However,he also says that he continues tohave bamboo in his landscape be-cause of many of its qualities.
“As a landscape designer, what Ienjoy about bamboo is that it has alot of interesting attributes,” Verackacomments. “It’s an evergreen. It haswinter appeal. In the winter, it’s abeautiful, pretty plant. It creates ahabitat for birds. It’s one of thegreenest plants around. Once, it’s es-tablished, it does not need fussy care.It regenerates itself, when you cut.”
Why All Bamboo Shouldn’t Be Banned
Eight Long Island municipalitieshave banned bamboo because ofits genetic tendency to spread.However, Michael Veracka feelsthis is misguided as he says thereare many varieties of bamboo,which are referred to as “clumpingbamboo,” which do not spread.

When folks plan for a lush,green, and healthy lawn, they
are usually thinking about the sum-mer months. However, according toGeorge Thompson, a sales associateat Hicks Nurseries, lawns tend tolook their best on Long Island dur-ing the fall and springtime, as thegrasses grown in the area tend to dobetter in cooler temperatures. There-fore, homeowners should continueto tend to their lawns so that theylook great now, and will continue todo so next spring and summer. Ac-cording to Thompson, this is espe-cially important this year, as thesummer weather was especially dif-ficult on lawns.
“People have had a lot of troublewith their lawns this year,” Thomp-son explains. “We’ve had a lot ofproblems with fungus. It was a badyear for fungal diseases. The hot,humid weather creates an environ-ment for fungal diseases.”
So, Thompson advises that theautumn is a great time to helplawns recover from the summer. Heoffers the following suggestions onhow to keep lawns looking great,both this and next year.
1. FertilizeThompson says that fertilizer
should have been applied around
Labor Day. However, if that has notbeen done, Thompson says that it isnot too late to do so. He also recom-mends that a second application offertilizer be applied in early Novem-ber. He cautions that Nassau Countyprohibits the application of fertilizerbetween Nov. 15 and April 1, sohomeowners should be diligentabout getting that second applica-tion completed in early November.
Thompson also suggests organicfertilizer. He advises that organicfertilizer is slow-released, and there-fore will give lawns a longer periodof time to restore themselves afterthe hot summer.
2. Keep lawns at the properheight
The grass will continue to grow,so homeowners will still be mowing
their lawns as thetemperatures cool.Thompson adviseshomeowners andlandscapers keep theheight of lawns about2 ½ to 3 inches high.He says that grass isa plant and by keep-ing its height short,there’s less of theplant to do photosyn-
thesis. In addition, he also advisesthat keeping grass at a high levelgives weeds less of an opportunityto invade the lawn.
3. Water lawns properlyAccording to Thompson, lawns
needs about an inch and a half ofwater per week. If the weather israiny, this is easy for homeowners.However, during dry spells, lawnswill need to be watered. Thompsonadvises that it is better to waterlawns for longer periods of timethan it is to water more frequentlyfor shorter periods. He explainsthat if the watering period is short-
er, the water will only reach thesurface, even if it is done frequent-ly. Conversely, if a lawn if wateredfor a longer period, the waterreaches further down into the soiland the roots will consequentiallyfollow down. Plants with deeperroots are less susceptible to stress.
To determine how much water alawn gets when it is watered,Thompson suggests putting a con-tainer by a sprinkler and measuringhow much water fills up during acertain period of time. Lawn care-takers will then know how long ittakes to reach a certain amount ofwater, and schedule accordingly.Thompson says that it is better towater three times per week, for alonger session each time, than towater every day for a short period.
4. SeedThe fall is a great time to seed,
according to Thompson. He saysthat because the air is cool, but theground is still warm, roots will growat a faster rate. He says that seedingis typically done in September, butif it hasn’t been done yet, seed canstill be successfully applied until themiddle of October.
5. RakeWith falling temperatures, come
falling leaves. Some mistakenlyleave fallen leaves on lawns, think-ing that the leaves will shelter thelawn from the cooler temperaturesand harsher elements of the fall.This is not so explains Thompson.
“Leaves sit on the grass and theykeep the air from circulating,” heexplains, saying that the leaves, inessence, smother grass. Therefore,fallen leaves should be clearedfrom lawns, especially if the lawnis newly seeded.
6. Apply limeIt is very important for the soil to
have a proper pH balance in orderfor the grass to be healthy. On
Long Island, almost all of the soilis acidic. Thompson explains thatsoil tends to be acidic my nature,but acid rain and tannic acid reach-ing the soil from oak leaves, makesit more acidic. Applying lime willhelp correct this.
“It takes several months for limeto change pH,” says Thompson.“Fall is a great time to put it downbecause winter weather works itdown to the soil faster and changesthe pH faster.”
Thompson also recommends thathomeowners have a pH test done ontheir soil. He says that Hicks Nurs-eries will test soil for free. Cus-tomers should bring a dry, clean,soil sample into Hicks Nurseries tohave it tested to determine the pHlevel of the soil.
Autumn Lawn Care Tips For Great Looking Grass
It is better to water a lawn less frequently, but for a longer period oftime as this will allow the water to go deeper into the soil, and theroots will follow.
“People have had a lot of troublewith their lawns this year. We’ve
had a lot of problems with fungus. It was a bad year for fungal diseases. The hot, humid weather creates an environment for fungal diseases.”
Raking leaves will make the lawnlook neater and make the grasshealthier, as fallen leaves on alawn prevent air from circulating.
Fall is a great time to seed because the air is cool but the ground isstill warm which causes the roots to grow at a faster rate. Seed shouldbe applied by mid-October.

Home is where we should allfeel safe. However, unfortu-
nately, disasters, both natural andman-made do occur, and accordingto safety experts, homeownersshould have an emergency plan aswell as a response kit should anemergency arise.
“For the average person it canseem overwhelming,” says Dr.K.C. Rondello MD, academic di-rector of emergency managementprograms at Adelphi University.“They don’t want to acknowledgethe possibility. If I don’t see it, itwon’t happen. While we may nev-er be able to eliminate the possibil-ity, the science of emergency man-agement says we can mitigate theconsequences.”
Adds Meghan McPherson, coor-dinator of the center for health in-novation at Adelphi, “Tip O’Neillused to say that ‘all politics is lo-cal.’ All emergency management is
also local and it starts with yourown family and your own house.”
Rondello says that it is especiallyimperative for Long Islanders tohave an emergency response kit, asit is a particular precarious place toprepare for a disaster. He points outthat Long Island is in close proxim-ity to the most populous city in theworld, which is considered a primeterrorist target. In addition, becauseLong Island is an island, there arelimited means of traveling off of it- by boat, tunnel, bridge or train.Rondello also adds that all of LongIsland is at or slightly above sealevel so the region, particularly thesouth shore, is in a flood plane.
So what should Long Islandersdo to be prepared for a disaster,which we hope will never happen?One thing that we should do, ac-cording to Rondello, is to have anemergency kit ready in case of adisaster that disrupts electricity.This kit should include items suchas flashlights, fresh batteries, and abattery-powered radio to get infor-mation. In addition, he recom-mends extra clothing, blankets, andfood and water for at least a three-day period. Even though this seemslike simple advice, Rondello saysthat about half of all Americans do
not have this type of emergency kitin their home.
Rondello advises that, at a mini-mum, a person needs one gallon ofwater per day for hydration andsanitation needs so a family of fourshould have 12 gallons of water inan emergency kit to prepare for anemergency. However, since this isan absolute minimum, familiesmay want to stock a larger supply.Food must also be stored, so Ron-dello advises nonperishable nutri-ent dense foods that have a reason-able amount of carbohydrates and
protein. He advises foods that fam-ily members would otherwise nor-mally eat to make the fare more ap-pealing and essentially become dis-aster comfort food.
“In my kit I keep rice, oatmeal,meals ready to eat, and canned andpackaged foods that are nonperish-able,” Rondello says. “Check outexpiration dates. Canned vegeta-bles, corn, and rice, can be eatencold if need be, but could be heatedover a fire or a microwave.”

When Disaster Strikes
Canned vegetables which can be easily heated or consumed rightfrom the can are a good choice for an emergency kit.

Freshness is the key to pickingthe perfect pumpkin, so your
best bet is to visit a farm that allowsyou to choose your own gourd.
Be sure to inspect all sides of thepumpkin being sure to notice anymold, bruises or soft spots. Theideal one should be a bright shadeof orange. The lighter the shade,
the softer it is, making it easier tocarve. The tradeoff is that it willnot last as long.
Before taking it off the vine, setthe pumpkin down levelly to seehow it will sit once you go to dis-play it. Avoid breaking the stemoff. If there is difficulty in separat-ing the gourd from the vine, it’sstill not ripe enough to pick.
After carrying the pumpkin by thebottom to avoid breaking off the stem,
be sure to store it in a cool, dry placebefore displaying and/or carving.
Lay out your tools. Ideally you’llneed a large knife or pumpkin cut-ting implement, an ice-creamscooper, marker, a bowl in which toput the gourd’s innards and if you’refeeling adventurous, stencils specifi-cally created for pumpkin carving.
Use water and a sponge to clean offthe exterior before leaving it to dry.
Draw a circle or hexagon aroundthe top of the pumpkin, makingsure the opening is large enoughfor your hand to go through.
With a back-and-forth cutting mo-tion, use your knife to cut along theshape you drew. The idea is this partwith the stem will serve as a cap foryour jack-o-lantern. After cuttingout the stem, scrape any seeds orpulp off the bottom of it. Seeds canalso be saved to later roast.
Use the ice cream scoop to emptythe pumpkin of its seeds and pulp,putting them in the bowl for disposal.Try to scrape the inner walls to aone-inch thickness for easier carving.
Draw a pattern on the pumpkinwith your marker. Make your eyes,mouth, etc. large so as to makecarving easier.
Start to cut along the borders ofyour pattern. Be sure to go slow,
with a cutting motion, always mak-ing sure to cut away from yourselfwhile keeping your free hand awayfrom the direction of the knife.
Gently push out the pieces fromthe inside.
Put a votive candle into the jack-o-lantern for outdoor use; go with abattery-operated light if you’rekeeping it inside.
By applying a light coating of pe-troleum jelly to the cuts on thepumpkin, it will seal the wounds andmake it last longer. Also keep it in acool dry place so as to not attractfruit flies and if there is a chance offrost, bring the jack-o-lantern insideso as to avoid accelerating spoilage.
Tools: Marker, Sponge, Water,Bowl, Knife, Ice cream scooper,Stencils (optional), Votive candle/battery-operated light (optional)
Pumpkin Picking/Carving Tips
A light inside of a pumpkin canenhance its look. For safety rea-son, use a battery operated lightinstead of a candle.
Carving a Halloween pumpkin is a fun activity that parents can do withtheir children.

Veracks adds that when it comes tobamboo, the opinion of most goes toboth extremes – either they love it orthey hate it. The professor says that helikes it because it gives the look of aJapanese inspired garden – somethingthat appeals to him. He also says thatbamboo will differentiate a gardenfrom landscape designs that are typi-cally found in the northeast region ofthe country and thus may become a fo-cal point of a garden. He also enjoysthat rustling sound that bamboo makeswhen wind blows throw it. In addition,he says that bamboo can be a decora-tive way for a homeowner to create pri-vacy in their yards.
“It creates an outdoor sitting area,”states Veracka. “Bamboo can fit into anarea and give you privacy even betterthan a fence would or in conjunctionwith a fence. You could use it to be thebackbone of a screen or hedge.”
Because, “running” bamboo doeshave the tendency to spread, Verackarecommends that those who would liketo introduce bamboo into their land-scapes should seek out the “clumping”variety. He says that fargesia is themost common type of “clumping bam-boo.” He also adds that not all bamboogrows extremely high, and there are va-rieties that grow only between six inch-es and two feet high.
For more information on the confer-ence, contact Michael Veracka at (631)420-2113 or send an email to [email protected]. Pre-regis-tration is required.
According to Veracka, there are more than 1,400 varieties of bamboo,and the “clumping” varieties do not spread as profusely as the “run-ning varieties.”
Because it is an evergreen,bamboo can add much ap-peal to a garden during thecold, dark, days of winter.

months that are ahead. Thesefolks have recognized the avail-ability of an array of multi-sea-sonal hardscape products thatcan warm your bones and yoursoul right in your own backyard.The products, which fall underthe category referred to as “out-door living room” componentsand range from fire pits to out-door fireplaces; grill islands tofully functional, open-airkitchens and pizza ovens; andpergolas to roofed pavilions; areavailable from leading manufac-turers of hardscape products.
“This trend began well over adecade ago when we introduceda fire pit made of manufacturedwallstones as a viable accessoryto the patio and/or backyardlandscape,” according to CharlesH. Gamarekian, chairman andCEO of Cambridge Pavers Inc,makers of Cambridge Paving-stones with ArmorTec®, Cam-bridge Wallstones and a compre-hensive line of outdoor livingroom components in pre-pack-aged kits and ready-to-enjoy, ful-ly-assembled components.
Homeowners soon foundthemselves blowing leaves offtheir patios and even shoveling a
path to reach the pit where fami-lies could sit warming theirhands and faces in the crispevening air.
“The evolution continued,”added Gamarekian, “as con-sumers traded their old barbe-ques for outdoor kitchens withhigh-end features such as75,000-BTU burners, rotisseries,built-in stainless steel sinks andrefrigerators as well as luxuriousgranite counter tops.”
Cambridge not only makesseveral outdoor kitchens com-plete with those amenities butalso has models of outdoor piz-za ovens that offer an alterna-tive to driving to your local piz-za restaurant for a take-outwhen appetites are high andtemperatures are low. With oneof these outdoor living roomcomponents, you can bake tra-ditional Italian pizza pies,open-faced baguette pizzas,homemade breads and a varietyof other dishes in your ownbackyard — all with authenticold world flavor. The Cam-bridge pre-packaged and fullyassembled pizza ovens comecomplete with a built-in fire-wood box and a professional
quality care and cooking pack-age. Finishing touches includea cast stone surround in blue-stone or chestnut color.
Those who enjoy the out-doors, and want to continue todo so even though the summerhas passed, will be adding a firetable for family and friends to sitaround — a new item being in-troduced soon by Cambridge.Because the items mentioned areeither delivered fully assembledor are provided in easy-to-buildkits, you can also add any ofthem incrementally to your pa-tio, in phases, as years go by.Consider tucking one of these ora fireplace under a pergola orpavilion, also available in kitform from Cambridge and you’llbe ready for an autumn patioparty, Thanksgiving dinner inthe great outdoors, and maybe asnow-flaked soirée. If it is feasi-ble, the fireplace should be posi-tioned so that the fire can beseen from inside the home aswell. This will create a strikinglybeautiful bonus effect.

Enjoying Outdoor Warmth During Cooler Months
Gather around an outdoor fireplace season-to-season with a Cambridge fireplace.
As the leaves on the trees surrounding back-yards in the northeast turn to the colors of au-
tumn and eventually bare their limbs completely,some homeowners will pack away all signs of pa-tio life. However, others continue on, fully pre-pared for the change of season, and the cooler

Expiration dates in these emer-gency kits, should also be checked,according to Rondello. Just ashomeowners are reminded tochange the batteries in their smokealarms, Rondello says they shouldcheck the expiration dates on thesupplies in their emergency kits. Herecommends September 11, as anappropriate and easy to rememberdate for doing this annually. Healso says that food, which has notexpired, but needs to be replenishedbecause it will reach its expirationdate within the next year, may bedonated to food pantries and othercharitable organizations.
Rondello also says that Ameri-cans should have a list of all themedications they are taking, so theycan properly inform any medicalpersonnel about that, should theyhave to seek refuge in a disastershelter. Rondello says that it is notuncommon for people to know whatcolors the pills they are taking areand how many times they are sup-posed to take them, but then notknow exactly what the medicationis. He estimates that about one thirdof Americans do not know the nameof the medications they take. There-fore, he advises that a list of themedications that all family mem-bers are taking, as well as medical
professional contact information bekept in the emergency kit.
McPherson adds that caretakersshould be attentive about gatheringthis information for their familymembers as well. She advises thatparents have this information abouttheir children’s medication andmedical doctor contact informationon a written list. Those with elderlyparents should do the same as wellfor them. McPherson advises chil-dren with older parents to get aform, which she allows a physicianto speak to them about their parent’smedical condition, which she saysis available from Medicare. And shestresses the importance of havingthis information written down andnot stored on an electronic device,as many tend to do today.
“Everyone should have these thingswritten down,” she says. “Phones canbe left behind. Batteries can die.”
McPherson also reminds every-one to not forget about makingpreparations for pets as well. Shesuggests that pet owners make surethey have copies of their pet’srecords, including their immuniza-tions, and also put extra pet foodinto their emergency kit.
Other items that McPherson sug-gests having include a weather ra-dio, which has a crank that cancharge cell phones. She also rec-ommends that all households haveat least one traditional corded land-line phone in case of a power out-age. And she also reminds caretak-ers to make sure that emergencykits have a can opener, so thatcanned food can be consumed.
For more information on emer-gency preparedness, log on toready.gov or Adelphi.edu/chi.
When Disaster Strikes
At a minimum, an emergency kitshould have one gallon of waterper day for every person in thehousehold.
Battery-powered flashlights arean essential part of an emer-gency kit.
