Trees, Shrubs & Vines -
Look for our 50% off select plants .
Lawns- Make a fall application of an organic fertilizer . Make sure not to over-fertilize because that can predispose the grass to brown patch. The purpose of fertilizing now is to get some nitrogen and potassium to the grass to help it prepare for winter and come out stronger in the spring.
If brown patch is an annual problem on your lawn, apply a fungicide early this month to get ahead of the infection. Once the brown circles appear, it is too late to make them go away.
If take all root rot has been a problem, it may help to apply a thin layer of finely ground peat moss early this month. Spread one or two 3.8 cu ft bales per 1,000 square feet of lawn and water in down to the soil surface.
If you are planning on applying something to prevent weed germination, do so early this month. We recommend using Corn Gluten for an organic weed pre-emergent.
Garlic is both an insect repellant and a fungicide!

- Warm soil+cool air = happy plants
- Less insect pest and disease pressure
- Less water stress
- Planting is more pleasant
- Plants have a head start for next spring
- Better drought tolerance
Or you can let us do the planting for you!
