We asked our staff what gardening tools they’ll be using in the new year and here are their responses!
1. Fish Emulsion – Can you say LOVE? Our staff uses Fish Emulsion on everything in the garden. This easy to use and fast acting organic plant food with kelp helps plants grow, flower, fruit and stay deep green. We swear by it!
2. Fox Farm Fertilizers - Over the last 12 months we’ve received rave reviews from customers about Fox Farm fertilizers… But our staff and mangers love them, too! Ideal for all flowering and fruiting plants and easy to use!
3. Micro Bark – We really like the neat and tidy look of Micro Bark and also, its effectiveness with inhibiting weed growth and soil moisture conservation. Ideal for walkways, gardens and play areas; it also protects roots from summer heat or winter cold.
4. Sloat Loam Builder – Really, we’re not just patting ourselves on the back here… This rich amendment makes any garden thrive – ornamentals and edibles do exceptionally well when Sloat Loam Builder is used.
5. Maybe it goes without saying – but we swear by E.B. Stone’s Sure Start! We don’t plant anything without this planting-time fertilizer. It’s made from a blend of organic ingredients formulated to help newly transplanted plants develop strong roots and sturdy growth.
6. Can-O-Worms Worm Composter – Talk about fun for kids…and eco-friendly too! This is an odorless, user-friendly worm composting system that allows anyone to participate in recycling and gardening via composting. Wow…love, love, love this product!
7. Bahco Pruning Snips are incredibly lightweight yet have strong blades. They can cut a wide variety of plants, from long flowers to pruning roses. Also great for small jobs, deadheading, tight spots and bonsai. These are terrific general use pruners!
8. Serenade Disease Control - provides protection against the most common fungal and bacterial garden diseases, yet is non-toxic to bees and beneficial insects. Safe to use around kids and pets. We really recommend this product!
9. West County Gardener Gloves – quality glove for every type of gardening job.
10. Earthbox – Right in the middle of the grow-your-own food craze comes the Earthbox planter. This maintenance-free growing system controls soil conditions, eliminates guesswork and more than doubles your garden’s yield. Wow. Earth boxes have been extremely popular in all our stores.
ok...we said 10, but here's one more for good luck!
11. Keeper Stoppers - keeps soil in and insects out of pots. We use these religiously and cannot recommend them enough!
p.s. We'll unveil favorite plants for 2010 as spring approaches!
