What's a good way to use trimmed tree branches?
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 chopped wood and bark chips make 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 a wedge and a sledgehammer to break up the wood 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 rake or leaf blower on fallen leaves?
Although it may sometimes feel like a losing battle, you can keep on top of leaf maintenance. For a quiet and economical cleanup method, go with a rake, some work gloves, and lawn and leaf bags. We've also got leaf blowers if you'd prefer an outdoor power tool instead.
How do I store my garden tools for the season?
To make next spring easier, clean your garden tools before you store them. Remove grime and clay 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 bacteria or fungus, and follow with a rinse. Then, polish off rust with a wire brush, oil them with WD-40 or vegetable oil if necessary, and ensure they're dry before hanging them in a garage or shed.
How do I prepare outdoor spigots for winter?
Prepare for freezing temps by covering outside spigots with faucet covers. Winterizing the hose bibb can be put off until watering the garden or washing the car 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.
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 lightweight cordless and electric snow blowers as well as gas snow blowers. People with larger driveways may consider using a spreader to evenly distribute the ice melt or salt to clear a path 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 beautiful green plants indoors. 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 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, and chainsaws. If you haven't done it yet, the focus is on cleanup and preparing for next year. Fallen leaves are an issue even late in the season in warmer climates, so check out leaf blowers, yard waste bags, and rakes. Be sure to get buckets and a wheelbarrow to easily transport leaves and branches. Of course, if you've got snow on the ground, you'd need to wait for a thaw.
Raise 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 while you cheer up your home's interior.
Many types of plants will thrive indoors, from bonsai trees to fruit trees to traditional potted plants like peace lilies. Low-maintenance indoor plants are great for nervous gardeners, and succulents are drought resistant. If you have furry friends, be sure to look for dog-safe plants and cat-safe indoor plants. Just turn the planter pots regularly to give all the leaves equal sunlight, and make sure they get enough water. Be sure to add dishes beneath the pots to catch any extra water if they don't have built-in overflow dishes.
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 garden beds aren't an option or the existing soil is hard clay, rocks, or sand.
A hydroponic garden uses fertilizer and water infused with nutrients to keep plants growing in a substrate that isn't dirt — like perlite, sand, or rock chips. 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 offer a variety of organic and non-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, try doing 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 patio heater, fire pit, 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 find the one that matches your decor style.
When you're curious about how to build an outdoor fire pit or fireplace, we have the supplies you need. We carry brick pavers, mortar, a wheelbarrow, trowels, and more. If you'd love some extra heat but would rather not install a gas fire pit or fireplace, we also have patio heaters, including gas, propane, and electric models.
Ease Into Winter
This winter, shore up your lawn for the year with us. Move your garden indoors and admire your house plants while outdoor plants have retired for the season. We'll be here when it's time to shop our wide variety of outdoor living products in your local store, online, or in our mobile app.
