10 Things to Consider When Purchasing Plants
Wednesday, March 11th, 2015
Spending some time preparing and planning for your garden will pay off in the end. Consider these tips before purchasing plants for your garden.1. Know your zone: What garden zone do you live in? Understanding your garden zone will help determine what plants will thrive in your environment,and which you should stay away from.
2. Do some research: Once you know which plants do best in your zone, find out what infestation or disease they are susceptible to. Which pests are abundant in your area? Once you know you can make an informed decision on which plants to purchase.
3.Review your landscape: Shade or sun? Look at your landscape and determine which areas are best for sun-loving plants and shade plants. Look at the landscape throughout the day to determine how much sun these areas receive.
4.Design your flower bed: How much space do you have? A small space that needs a pop of color? Or a larger space that will require a variety of bushes, plants and flowers?
5. Prepare for the future: Remember that plants grow! Check the projected height and width of each plant to avoid unhealthy and unattractive crowding.
6. Arrangement matters: Layer your arrangement. Step 5 will help you determine the full hight of your plant. Keep this in mind as you plant, place the taller plants in the back and shorter plants or flowers in front.
7. Tis the season: Remember your seasons when building your garden. Do they bloom all season or for a few weeks? Is color important? Think about different varieties and the timing of blooms as you arrange and build your landscaping.
8. Buds are best: When visiting your local nursery or feed store, look for plants with more buds, not blooms. Buds will eventually bloom and have you garden looking good longer.
9. Healthy plants: Look for healthy plants. Look for insects or browning leaves, and check for an overly crowded or shriveled root ball.
10. Understand your landscape: Do you have time to maintain your landscape? Do you have the time to water and trim your landscape? Are you in a drought with water restrictions? Think about this as you plan. Low-maintenance or a drought tolerant landscape may be better.
A little time, thought and preparation will go a long way to enjoying your garden and landscape.

Lawncare: Scalping or Aerating?
Tuesday, March 10th, 2015“Should I scalp or aerate my lawn?” And when should I do it?
Let’s start with scalping. You set the mower to the lowest setting and bag all the clipping. You’ll need to invest in a good respirator or dust mask too because this can be a very messy process. On the positive side, it removes a lot of last year’s dead grass and also a lot of the weeds. It allows the soil to warm up fast which will make the lawn green up sooner which in turn allows you to start mowing sooner. Not only does lawn scalping promote growth, but it also thwarts diseases. Scalping your lawn eliminates a layer of thatch and thatch holds moisture.
Aerating the lawn is another subject that gets brought up often. Aerating is the physical process of making small holes in the soil and grass. If any of the following conditions exist in your yard, you should probably aerate:
- Soil compact from children or pets running in the yard
- Dries out easily
- Was established by sod, and soil has been layered over an existing coarser soil. This layering disrupts drainage, as water is held in the finer-textured soil. This can lead to compacted conditions and poor root development. Aerating breaks up the layers, allowing water to flow through the soil more easily and reach the roots.
When aerating, it is better to remove a plug of soil than to just poke a hole in it. These holes allow a more efficient use of water and fertilizer by allowing them to get through layers of compacted soil and thatch. Aerating should be done during the early part of the growing season. In most case this is not a yearly task but one that should be done when needed. Click here for how to steps for aerating your lawn.
The best time to scalp or aerate your lawn is in the early spring right before the growing season begins. Stop by for all your spring gardening tools and get a head start on a beautiful lawn!

Tips to Prepare Your Chicken Coop
Sunday, February 22nd, 2015
Tips To Prepare Your Chicken Coop
We are in the full swing of chick season. You might have even purchased your baby chicks and they grow fast. When your baby chicks are ready to leave your brooder, make sure you have your coop ready to go.Most chicks can be transferred to their coops as early as 4-5 weeks of age. If you have already purchased your baby chicks, it is imperative that your coop is ready to go as soon as possible. You will be shocked at how fast they feather and grow, and take up space! Here are some tips to ensure your chicken coop is adequately prepared:
- Be predator-proof, not just from the sides, but from above and below as well. Predators that would love chicken wings for dinner include but are not limited to raccoons, foxes, wolves, coyotes and hawks.
- Be secure from nasty rodents (yes, rats!) that will be attracted to the feed and droppings. Rodents are burrowing creatures, so you need to block them from slipping into the coop from below. If you coop doesn’t have a floor, you need to bury small-mesh fencing down into the ground about 12″ all around the coop.
- Be breezy enough to prevent respiratory diseases, to which chickens are especially prone, but not so drafty during winter that they freeze their tushes off. Chickens can withstand the cold so long as it’s not drafty!
- Be easy to clean so bugs and bacteria don’t fester.
- Provide “roosting poles” for your girls to sleep on (2″ wide; rounded edges; allot 5-10″ of space per bird side to side and 10″ between poles if more than one is necessary; plus ladder-like grading so the pole furthest away is several inches higher than the closest).
- Encourage egg-laying with 1 nest box for every four or five chickens. Nest boxes should be raised off the ground at least a few inches, but lower than the lowest roosting pole. They should also be dark and “out of the way” to cater to the hen’s instinct to lay her eggs in a safe, place.
- Be roomy: at least 4 square feet per bird if birds are able to roam freely during the day, and at least 10 square feet per bird if they are permanently confined.
- Accommodate a feeder and waterer, which should hang 6-8″ off the ground.
- Include a removable “droppings tray” under roosting poles for capture and easy disposal of droppings. (Or should we say for easy access to your lawn fertilizer?)
- Similar to the coop, the sides of the attached chicken run, if you have one, should be buried 12″ into the soil to keep predators and rodents from digging their way in. Once again, we recommend chicken wire fencing or half-inch hardware cloth. It’s also our strong recommendation that you secure the top of the run with aviary netting or deer netting. This will keep wild birds (which can carry communicable diseases) out and provide further defense against sly predators.
Come see us and pick up everything you need from waterers, bulbs, heat lamps and more.
