Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How can I use the extra wood after tree removal or tree trimming?
Log splitters leave you with more manageable chunks of wood, while wood chippers make tiny 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 wood makes mulch that you can spread around your flowers and plants in the spring. If you removed a tree, you can either get a splitting maul or a log splitter to break up the downed tree into smaller pieces. A wood splitter is quicker and a wise investment if you're doing an expansive amount of tree cleanup, and the bigger the splitter, the better.
What do I do with all these leaves on my lawn?
Stay on top of leaf maintenance with just a few tools. For a quiet workout that saves you money compared to methods, rake the leaves. We've also got leaf blowers if you'd prefer an outdoor power tool.
How do I store my garden tools for the season?
Give your lawn and garden a good cleaning, then store the tools for the winter. Remove dirt and grime with a soak in soapy water, then dry your tools well. Next, soak them in a bleach and water mix for 20 minutes to kill off any fungus or bacteria, and follow with a rinse. Then, scrub off rust specks with a wire brush, oil them with vegetable oil or WD-40 if necessary, and ensure they're dry before hanging them in a shed or garage.
How do I winterize a hose bibb?
Prepare your outdoor taps for freezing temperatures by draining and covering them with faucet covers. Shutting down the outdoor tap can be put off until washing the car in the driveway or watering the garden is done for the year, but don't wait too long. With all hoses disconnected, turn off the indoor valves that control the spigots, then run the water until it 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 an air compressor to get out every last 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.
Do I get a snow blower or snow shovel?
In climates where it gets cold and snowy, preparing your snow removal tools is key. Snow blowers are great, but keep a snow shovel and ice scraper to clean trouble spots or chip away ice patches. Find one-, two-, and three-stage snow blowers in electric and gas options. People with larger driveways may consider using a salt spreader to evenly distribute the ice melt or salt to clear the way to the mailbox. Prepare now before the snow starts falling.
The Home Depot Garden Center at Santa Maria
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, there are usually other projects to do. In the meantime, enjoy your plants indoors. Read on for more on final tree and leaf 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
On a balmy wintertime day, you may want to take advantage of the weather and do outdoor maintenance. Neaten up your trees and bushes with pole saws and chainsaws. Fallen leaves are an issue even late in the season in warmer climates, so check out rakes, leaf blowers, and lawn bags. Remember a wheelbarrow and buckets to easily 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 annuals or perennials, 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. Succulents are drought resistant, and low-maintenance indoor plants are great for nervous gardeners. If you have furry friends, be sure to look for cat-safe indoor plants or dog-safe plants. Just rotate the planter pots regularly to give all leaves equal sunlight for photosynthesis, and make sure they get enough water. If the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes, be sure to add shallow bowls beneath them to catch any extra water.
Swap Soil for Air
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 beds aren't an option or the existing soil is poor.
A hydroponic garden uses fertilizer and water infused with nutrients to keep plants growing in something other than soil — like rock chips, perlite, or sand. Use it to grow veggies 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 replenishes and adds nutrients and trace minerals that your soil may lack. Fill in the blanks with fertilizer. We carry many types of non-organic and organic plant fertilizers to keep your indoor plants happy and healthy.
Add Decorative Retaining Wall Blocks and Mulch
On days when you'd like to garden but the growing season is over, consider planning for the spring instead. 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. While you're at it, 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 well and resists fading longer than other mulches.
Warm the Outdoors with a Fire Pit
Stretch out warmer winter evenings with an outdoor fireplace, patio heater, or fire pit 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 your exact specifications with pavers that lead to and surround the pit. Stop by your closest garden center to see what's in stock.
