Winter is just the time to add mycorrhizae inoculant to your garden or landscape.  Simply apply small spoonfuls into the top inch or so of the soil around your plants, and the roots will figure the rest out.  Mycorrhizae has been proven to conserve water and increase nutrient uptake in most plants.  Don't believe us?  Try some out for as little as $3.99.  Check out our video on Micorrhizae

If you don't know the last time you fed your indoor plants, then it is time to feed.  Winter is especially crucial as indoor environments prepare for the longer and warmer days of spring and summer.  There is no better "natural" slow release houseplant food then Organix.  

Steve is super excited about an organic all-purpose fertilizer called Dynamite.  This is exactly the slow release feeding your veggies, fruit trees, and ornamentals are looking for.  For a limited time, we've got it on sale for only $3.75 for a 1.5 lb container.

Pond Department:

Pond maintenance should be done by now.  If not, stop in and check with Jeramey to see what you need to do.  Continue to run your pumps if you are keeping your fish in the pond all year. Most of your plants have gone dormant by now.  Wait until spring to get rid of rough looking plants.  Often, a plant will look great again in spring as the temperatures warm up.
