Plus great gardening deals on a lemon tree, lawn aerator, raised beds and more…
Every week, our experts at Gardening Know How are scouring the shopping aisles to bring you the very best deals on gardening goods we can find. These aren't simply the cheapest or most discounted garden deals, but products that are worth having and offer excellent value for money.
This week, heading up our top 10 deals of the week is Miracle-Gro Potting Mix, with a $4.49 saving on a $12.49 sack at Walmart. That's $8 for 25 quarts of great-quality potting soil, which is enough to fill around three 10-inch containers. Suitable for indoor and outdoor container-grown plants, this enriched potting mix feeds for up to 6 months for bigger, better-colored flowers and harvests. So, if you're adding cheery planters of chrysanthemums or pansies to your garden, switching up containers with cool-season plants that last from fall into winter or planting a fall hanging basket, this nutrient-rich mix will fuel abundant blooms.
An enriched potting mix is also ideal for refreshing containers in early spring. This is a job that should be done every year just as plants awaken, scraping away the top 3 inches of soil and replacing with fresh to replenish nutrients for strong growth. Potted plants across the nation are tired after this heatwave summer, so refreshing planters will be a vital step in next year's gardening schedule.
As Miracle-Gro Potting Mix is also suitable for indoor use, you can use it to repot houseplants for a season of lush growth. Early spring is also the best time for this task, so stock up now while this potting soil is on sale.
