Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How do I pick my produce at harvest time?
To pick your produce, push aside the leaves and pinch the stem just above the veggie. Hold the stem tightly with the fingers of one hand, then with your dominant hand, twist the produce. Keep rotating the veggie, twisting the stem until it comes loose of the main stem.
How can I use trimmed tree branches?
Wood chippers make tiny chips, while wood splitters leave you with more manageable chunks of wood. 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 wood makes fresh mulch that you can spread in your fall garden. If you removed a tree, you can either get a log splitter or a splitting maul 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.
How can I get rid of fall leaves from my lawn?
If you'd prefer to use power tools to keep fallen leaves under control, shop our leaf blowers. Electric versions come as cordless or corded leaf blowers. We've also got handheld, walk-behind, and backpack leaf blower models. Leaf vacuums, vacuum-mulcher combo units, or rakes are additional options. Let the gathered leaves turn into mulch and enrich your soil or fill up lawn and leaf bags and take them out to the curb.
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 disinfect them, and follow with a rinse. Then, scrub off rust specks 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 winterize an outdoor spigot?
Prepare for freezing temps by covering outside spigots with faucet covers. Shutting down the outdoor spigot can be put off until watering the garden or washing the car is done for the year, but don't wait until the temps drop into the 40s. With all hoses disconnected, turn off the indoor valves that control the spigots, then open the taps and let them run until the water stops. If you have underground sprinklers or an irrigation system, drain those as well as per the manufacturer's instructions. You may need a rental air compressor to remove every drop of water. While you're at it, get a pool vacuum and pool cover and winterize your swimming pool, too.
How early do I prep for snow blower use?
In climates where it gets cold and snowy, early fall is the time to prepare your snow removal tools. Snow blowers are great, but keep a snow shovel and ice scraper 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 salt spreader to evenly distribute the ice melt or salt to clear the way to the mailbox or car. Prepare now before the snow starts falling.

Fall is a different time for your garden and lawn, so get out your work gloves, pole saws, and chainsaws. The focus shifts from growing to harvesting, from upkeep to cleanup. We've got fall lawn tips to help you make the most of your landscaping and garden as the season ends. We'll also guide you through planting and fall harvest. Depending on your climate, you might be able to garden throughout the chillier months. Read on for more on fall garden and lawn maintenance.
Patch or Fertilize Your Lawn
Patch bald spots on your lawn by overseeding them. Cooler weather is a great time to fill in brown, dead, or bare places in your yard. However, you should try to keep leaves off freshly seeded areas. New grass seed needs water, air, and sun to grow, and leaf litter can block out the sunlight and air it needs to germinate.
If you're in a northern climate, prepare your cool-season grass for the fall with lawn fertilizer. Aerate your lawn before adding fertilizer to get the most bang for your buck. An edger gives extra polish to the perimeter of your yard. Water your cool-season lawn regularly and tend to any weeds that show up. Warm-season varieties, like those in the southern states, are winding down their growth for the year. It's better not to fertilize it now, as you don't want fresh grass growing right before it goes dormant. Taper down watering on warm-season lawns.
Plant Flower Bulbs
If you've got your eye on springtime tulips and daffodils, plant them soon. Although their roots look different because they sprout from bulbs and not just below the stem, they still need time to grow downward. Check your plant hardiness zone before planting. In colder climates, some bulb plants should be planted in spring instead. Plan your tulip, daffodil, and iris displays now. Garlic and onions can also go in for a harvest next spring or summer, but they won't need soil additives.
Try using retaining wall blocks to accent or surround your garden. A beautiful garden wall or hardscaping gives a finished look, especially when you spread a layer of rubber mulch. It'll overwinter just fine and look new longer than bark chips or other mulches that fade with weathering.
Skip the soil amendments when planting garlic or onion bulbs instead of flower bulbs. Simply plant them now, pointy-side up like a teardrop shape, and you'll have a fresh harvest by next summer. These plants will spread though, so be careful not to let them flower, dry out, and go to seed when they mature. Snip off the dried flowers to avoid planting a patch of volunteer onion and garlic plants.
Cut and Cover Perennials
In climates where you might have a cold snap and then warm up above freezing, cover your plants. Protect your garden from freeze and frost damage to extend their season. You can get extra life out of your garden by covering your plants with buckets, tarps, or even painting drop cloths. It'll warm your plants like a greenhouse or blanket, and they'll survive a frost.
This works well when the weather is still transitional, until you're fully into the colder parts of the season. Uncover the plants in the morning when the thermometer goes up again and let them enjoy that fall sun. Once the temperatures regularly dip below freezing, say goodbye to the garden for the rest of the year.
Put the Garden to Bed
When your annuals start looking rougher, it's time to dig up the plants. Northern climates that get cold earlier in the fall might be putting the garden to bed for the season in October or November. After your vegetable plants have given their final harvest, dig them up, then chop and dispose of the dead plant debris. You can let them return their nutrients to the soil, but there are two exceptions: if your plants dealt with blight or if you had a snail problem.
For gardens overrun with slugs and snails or if your plants struggled with blight, put the old plants in a lawn and leaf bag for disposal. You don't want to bring the disease or snails to next year's garden. However, if you have a compost pile in the corner of the yard, feel free to add the slug-riddled plant parts there.
After you've removed the old plants, you have a clean slate. Prepare your garden bed for the spring by rotating the soil with a rototiller or shovel. You want to loosen the earth so the topsoil goes down and the deeper soil comes up. It helps nutrients penetrate and lets the soil rest. It's also an excellent opportunity to test the soil and see what, if any, soil amendments you need. Different crops and plants use different nutrients. Test your soil to see if it's balanced or if you ought to add certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Bring Potted Plants Indoors
Gardeners with potted plants can extend their growing season by bringing the plants indoors to a sunny window. Indoor gardening allows both outdoor plants to live longer and indoor plants to bring joy into your home. Just turn them regularly to give all leaves equal sunlight, 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.
Warm the Outdoors with a Fire Pit
Stretch out your fall 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.
When you're curious about how to build an outdoor fireplace or fire pit, we have the supplies you need. We carry brick pavers, mortar, a wheelbarrow, trowels, and more. Let us help you get this fall project done. 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.

We have the tools and supplies you need for putting the garden to bed, leaf cleanup, and replenishing nutrients in your soil so it's ready for next spring.
