If you’ve recently purchased your first home or have been in your home for years, you’re probably in a whirlwind of decorating and home improvement projects when the weather turns warm. This spring, you should also think about gathering lawn and garden supplies, so you can plant flowers, grow vegetables, and keep your grass green. The list below will help you find everything you need at your local garden supplies store.

The Essential Gardening & Lawn Care Items for Homeowners

1. Digging Implements

You might already have a shovel sitting in your garage, but gardening calls for some specialized garden supplies. A trowel is easy to maneuver when you’re digging holes for planting, and a cultivator has multiple tines to loosen soil and smooth your garden. A weeder has a long, slim blade to help you pull even the most stubborn roots.

2. Sturdy Gloves

A durable pair of gardening gloves will protect your hands and make it easier to clean up after you’re done working. You never know what is buried in the ground, and some weeds have sharp spines or cause allergic reactions. Protect your skin and keep dirt away from your fingernails with gardening gloves.

3. A Healthy Lawn 

 Remember to take care of the lawn using the Fertilome 3 step program. 

If you have an established lawn, April/May is the time to use All Seasons weed & feed with dimension.

Next, in early summer before it’s too hot; use Fertilome lawn food plus iron (makes your grass green) in between regular mowings and then apply again in fall.

Purchasing the right grass seed is important too for a healthy lawn whether your seeding a new lawn or seeding bare spots in an existing lawn.   

4. Hoses & Nozzles

To keep all your plants healthy during dry spells, you’ll need a hose that can reach all of your flower and garden beds as well as across your lawn. You should also find an adjustable nozzle to handle multiple jobs. A mist setting is ideal for delicate plants, a wide spray helps you water your lawn more quickly, and a powerful jet can be used for cleaning purposes.
