Keeping landscaping up can be expensive. A few tips...

1. Use those rewards/points/MyPoints and survey rewards to get Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. cards. In the last few months I've had $150 in g/c earned that went to Home Depot. Tools, fertilizer, peet...

2. If you have hard water and use a softener system, like we do...turn it off when you water! The plants need to keep their "native" environment, and we save $$ by conserving the salt and other softener resouces. They are expensive!

3. If you evergreens need an immediate boost, rhodadedron/azalea fertilizer, like Miracle Gro for azaleas, will revive them quickly to a lush green.

4. Water and time can be expensive. If it's going to rain, SPRINKLE the immediate dry fertilizer (Miracle Gro, Schultz, bloom booster...) over the areas before the rain comes in, and allow the rain to dissolve it and feed. A great way to get the ground cover to fill in quickly after winter.
