Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
What should I do with the leftover wood after tree removal or tree trimming?
Log splitters leave you with more manageable chunks of wood, while wood chippers make small wood chips. After pruning bushes and trees with a gas chainsaw or hedge trimmers, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the chopped wood and bark chips make fresh mulch that you can spread around your fall plants and flowers. 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 faster and a wise investment if you're doing a large amount of tree cleanup.
How can I get rid of all these leaves?
Although it may sometimes feel like a losing battle, you can keep ahead of leaf maintenance. For a workout, a quiet cleanup method, and an economical choice, go with a rake, some work gloves, and lawn bags. We also have leaf blowers if you'd rather use an outdoor power tool instead.
What's the best way to store my garden tools for the season?
Give your garden and yard a final cleanup for the season, then store the tools for the winter. Give your tools a soak in soapy water to remove dirt and grime, then dry them thoroughly. Next, soak them in a bleach and water mix for 20 minutes to kill off any bacteria or fungi, and follow with a rinse. Then, scrub away specks of rust with a wire brush, oil them with WD-40 or vegetable oil if necessary, and make sure they're dry before hanging them in a garage or shed.
How do I prepare my outdoor spigots for freezing temps?
Protect your outdoor spigots from freezing temps by draining and covering them with faucet covers. 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 in-ground sprinklers or an irrigation system, drain them per the manufacturer's instructions. You may need an air compressor to get every last drop of water out.
What tools do I need for snow removal?
If you live in an area where it gets cold and snowy, preparing to remove snow is key. Snow blowers are great, but keep a snow shovel available to clear trouble spots or chip away ice patches. We carry high-quality electric snow blowers and gas snow blowers. Rock salt and ice melt can clear walkways with less effort and help keep you safer when you make quick trips to the car or mailbox. Prepare now before the snow starts falling.

The Home Depot Garden Center at Inver Grove Heights
Colder 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, you may still have projects you need to knock out. In the meantime, you can still enjoy house plants. Read on for more on final leaf and tree cleanup, indoor gardening, giving next year's garden bed a glow-up, or making the most of a break in the cold weather.
Leaf Upkeep and Tree Maintenance
Between cold snaps, you might still be able to get out your work gloves, pruners, chainsaws, and pole saws. If you haven't done it yet, the focus is on cleanup and preparing for next year. Leaf maintenance is a concern throughout the season in warmer climates, so check out rakes, leaf blowers, and leaf bags. Remember to use buckets or a wheelbarrow to transport branches and leaves.
Dote on Indoor Plants
Enjoy caring for indoor house plants? Trimming, watering, and attending to your plants can be calming and centering. Indoor plants can help brighten your mood, clean the air, and cheer up any room. 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 or nervous gardeners, and succulents thrive with little watering. If you have pets, be sure to look for cat-safe indoor plants or dog-safe plants. As long as the plant pots are big enough and you follow the directions for sunlight and watering, you'll soon have a gorgeous and green indoor garden. As a precaution, 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 the existing soil is low-quality or outdoor raised beds aren't an option. A hydroponic garden uses water infused with nutrients and fertilizer to keep plants growing in something other than dirt — like rock chips, perlite, or sand. It's an excellent way to grow vegetables and herbs. Later in the year, you can just snip an herb or pick a fresh veggie to incorporate into your meal. You can also use hydroponics to grow certain 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 require a sandier soil mix that allows for drainage. For the best results, always match your soil to your plants when transplanting to larger containers. Fertilizer replenishes and adds trace minerals and nutrients that your soil may lack. Fill in the blanks with fertilizer. We offer a variety of non-organic and organic plant fertilizers to keep your indoor plants healthy and happy.
Add Mulch and Decorative Retaining Wall Blocks
It's not too early to begin planning for the spring. Measure the perimeter of your garden and crunch some numbers to see how many retaining wall blocks you'd need to surround or accent your garden. Use our mulch calculator to figure out how much you'll need to buy when the temperatures warm. Give your garden a finished look with rubber mulch. It overwinters just fine and looks new longer than bark chips or other mulches that fade with weathering.
Warm the Outdoors with a Fire Pit
Stretch out warmer winter evenings with a fire pit, outdoor fireplace, or patio heater to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking to heat a spacious deck, a small patio, or a cozy back porch, we've got what you need. Simply find the one that matches your 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 various shapes. We've also got wood-burning fire pits and the firewood to stoke them. You can even build your own using a fire pit kit or create a custom in-ground design with pavers. Stop by your closest garden center to see what's in stock.
