Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening

What's a good way to use tree trunks and branches after tree removal?

A wood chipper makes tiny wood chips, while a wood splitter leaves you with more manageable chunks of wood. After pruning trees and bushes with a gas chainsaw or hedge trimmers, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the chopped wood makes fresh mulch that you can spread around your flowers and plants in the spring. If you removed a tree, you can either get a log splitter or an axe to divide the downed tree into smaller pieces. The wood splitter will be quicker and a wise investment if you're doing a large amount of tree cleanup, and bigger is better here.

Is it better to use a leaf blower or rake on fallen leaves?

Keep fallen leaves under control with just a few tools. For a quiet workout that saves you money compared to methods, rake your leaves. We've also got leaf blowers if you'd prefer an outdoor power tool.

How do I store my a chainsaw during the winter?

To maintain outdoor power equipment, clean it before you store it. Check the manufacturer's website or your owner's manual for info on caring for a specific tool, like oiling a chainsaw chain or removing grass from lawn mower blades. For battery-powered tools, store the batteries in a dry place that won't let them freeze, if possible. Idle gas tools until they sputter dry and then change the oil. Your tools will last longer when put some care into them, saving you money and time.

How do I winterize a hose bibb?

Prepare for freezing temps by covering outside faucets with faucet covers. Winterizing the hose bibb can be put off until washing the car in the driveway or watering the garden is done for the year, but don't wait until the temps drop into the 40s. With all hoses disconnected, turn off the indoor valves that control the spigots, then open the taps and let them run until the water stops. If you have pop-up sprinklers or a drip irrigation system, drain those as well as per the manufacturer's instructions. You may need a rental air compressor to remove every drop of water. Even though your pool is winterized by now, you may be able to prepare for next summer by searching for sales on a pool vacuum and pool cover. That way, you'll be all set for the cold now and the heat later.

What tools do I need for snow removal?

In climates where it gets cold and snowy, preparing your snow removal equipment is key. Snow blowers are great, but keep a snow shovel or two to clean trouble spots or chip away ice patches. Find one-, two-, and three-stage snow blowers in electric and gas options. Rock salt and ice melt can clear walkways with less effort and help keep you safer when you make quick trips to the car. Prepare now before the snow starts falling.

Winter temperatures often mean you've wrapped up the outdoor work and gardening for the season. However, if it's not freezing outside and you're motivated, there's usually a project to do. In the meantime, enjoy your plants indoors. Read on for more on final leaf and tree cleanup, indoor gardening, enhancing next year's garden bed, or making the most of a slightly warmer day.

Leaf Upkeep and Tree Maintenance in Warmer Climates
Between cold snaps, you might want to get out your work gloves, pole saws, pruners, and chainsaws. The focus is on cleanup and preparing for next year. Fallen leaves are still an issue in warmer climates, so check out leaf blowers, rakes, and lawn and leaf bags. Be sure to get buckets and a wheelbarrow to transport leaves and branches. Of course, if you've got snow on the ground, you'd need to wait for a thaw.

Dote on Indoor Plants
An indoor garden of greenery might be lovely as well. Look into house plants and create an oasis within your home. An enclosed porch or sunroom is a great place to encourage plant growth, especially with pots and plant stands of all sizes. Your spring flower seed choices, whether they're perennials or annuals, can also often get an indoor start once we turn the corner toward warmer weather.

Many types of plants will thrive indoors, from fruit trees to bonsai trees to traditional potted plants like peace lilies. Low-maintenance indoor plants are great for new gardeners, and succulents thrive with little watering. If you have furry friends, be sure to look for dog-safe plants and cat-safe indoor plants. As long as the plant pots are big enough and you follow the directions for sunlight and watering, you'll soon have a green and gorgeous indoor garden. Remember to place decorative dishes beneath them if the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes to catch any extra water.

Garden with Air Instead of Soil
For a different type of indoor planting, try hydroponic gardening. Hydroponics are an unconventional choice for indoor gardens. You can also keep them going year-round if outdoor raised garden beds aren't available or the existing soil is poor.

A hydroponic garden uses fertilizer and water infused with nutrients to keep plants growing in something other than dirt — like perlite, sand, or rock chips. Use it to grow vegetables and herbs this way. It's also sometimes used to grow a few types of succulents.

Spread Nutrients
Give your house plants a nutritious place to grow with fertilizer and proper soil. Potted plants all do best with specialty potting soil. Keep in mind that succulents need a sandier soil mix that allows for lots of drainage. For optimal results, always match your soil to your plants when transplanting to larger containers.

Fertilizer adds trace minerals and replenishes nutrients that your soil may lack. Fill in the blanks with fertilizer. We offer a variety of organic and non-organic plant fertilizers to keep your indoor plants healthy and happy.

Add Decorative Mulch and Retaining Wall Blocks
On days when you'd like to garden but the growing season is over, do some prep work for the spring instead. Consider using retaining wall blocks to surround or accent your garden. Just measure the perimeter of your garden to get started on a plan for when the ground thaws. A beautiful garden wall or hardscaping gives a finished look, especially when you spread a layer of rubber mulch. It overwinters well and resists fading longer than other mulches.

Warm the Outdoors with an Outdoor Fireplace
Stretch out warmer winter evenings with a fire pit, patio heater, or outdoor fireplace to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking for outdoor heaters for decks, small patios, or cozy porches, we've got options. All you have to do is pick the one that matches your decor style.

We've got fire bowls and fire pit tables ready to warm your outdoor space. Check out stylish propane and natural gas fire pits in a variety of shapes. We've also got woodburning fire pits and the firewood to stoke them. You can even build your own with fire pit kits or make it completely custom and build an in-ground fire pit to fit your vision with pavers that lead to and surround the pit. Stop by your closest garden center to see what's in stock.
