Gearing Up for Spring

Begin the new planting season right. Below are some must have items that will help the spring planting get off to a good start:

Gloves - Protect your hands from whatever's out there.

Pruners - Cleaned and sharpened, ergonomic designs makes the cut

Tool Bag - Whether a bag, or bucket, make sure everything you need is close at hand

Tub Trug - Tote anything from water to weeds

Closed toes shoes – Comfortable, functional footwear such as clogs & boots to keep feet dry and pain free.

Fertilizer - Don't let your plants go hungry – feed ‘em right with a slow release fertilizer if needed.

Composter - Turn your fruit/vegetable scraps and landscape waste into a wonderful amendment for your soil.

Soils - A good soil mix is necessary for successful seed starting and propagation
