Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening

What do I do with trimmed tree branches?

A wood splitter leaves you with more manageable chunks of wood, while a wood chipper makes tiny wood chips. After pruning trees and bushes with hedge trimmers or a gas chainsaw, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the chopped wood makes mulch that you can spread around your flowers and plants in the spring. If you removed a tree, you can either get an axe or a log splitter to divide the wood into smaller pieces. The wood splitter will be quicker and a wise investment if you're doing an expansive amount of tree cleanup, and bigger is better here.

What do I do with all these leaves on my lawn?

If you'd prefer to use power tools to keep fallen leaves under control, shop our leaf blowers. Electric versions come as corded or cordless leaf blowers. We've also got walk-behind, backpack, and handheld leaf blower models. Leaf vacuums, vacuum-mulcher combo units, or rakes are additional options. Turn the fallen leaves into mulch and enrich your soil or fill up lawn bags and take them out to the curb.

How do I store my garden tools for the season?

Give your garden and lawn a good cleaning, then store the tools for the winter. Remove clay and grime with a soak in soapy water, then dry your tools well. Next, soak them in a water and bleach mix for 20 minutes to disinfect them, 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 shed or garage.

How do I winterize an outdoor spigot?

Prepare for freezing temps by covering outside faucets 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 a rental air compressor to get every last drop of water out. 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 equipment is key. Snow blowers are great, but keep a snow shovel or two to chip away ice patches and clear trouble spots. We carry gas snow blowers, electric snow blowers, and cordless ones, too. People with larger driveways may consider using a spreader to fling the ice melt or salt to clear the way to the car or mailbox. Shop now before the weather cools more and the snow rolls in.

The Home Depot Garden Center at Kenner

Colder temperatures often mean you've wrapped up the gardening and outdoor work 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 beautiful green plants indoors. Read on for more on final tree and leaf 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 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 the spring. Leaf maintenance is still an issue 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, now isn't the time.

Raise Indoor Plants
An indoor garden of greenery is also lovely. Look into house plants and create an oasis within your home. A covered 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 thrive with little watering, and low-maintenance plants are great for new or nervous gardeners. If you have furry friends, be sure to look for cat-safe indoor plants or dog-safe plants. Just make sure they get enough water, and rotate the planter pots regularly to give all leaves equal sunlight for photosynthesis. Remember to place decorative dishes beneath them if the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes 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 the existing soil on your property is not suitable for growing or outdoor raised garden beds aren't an option.

A hydroponic garden uses fertilizer and water infused with nutrients to keep plants growing in a substrate that isn't 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 ideal results, always match your soil to your plants when transplanting to larger containers.

Fertilizer adds and replenishes 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 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 accent or surround 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 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 patio heater, outdoor fireplace, or fire pit to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking to heat a small patio, a cozy back porch, or a spacious deck, we've got options. All you have to do is find 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.

Ease Into Winter
This winter, start dreaming of next year's garden 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 our mobile app, online, or in the aisles of your local store.
