Recommended for application when weeds are actively growing and temperatures are between 60°F and 90°F, it requires wet grass for optimal adherence. Suitable for various grass types like Bermudagrass and Fescue, but not for Creeping Bentgrass or St. Augustinegrass. It comes in an 11.32 lb. bag covering 4,000 sq. ft., with specific spreader settings for application. The product is phosphorus-free with a fertilizer analysis of 28-0-3, suitable for established lawns and small areas.

Miracle-Gro Moisture Control All Purpose Potting Mix 2 cu ft
This potting mix is designed to protect plants from over and under-watering, feeding them for up to 6 months and promoting growth to twice their size compared to unfed plants. Its exclusive AquaCoir Formula absorbs up to 33% more water than basic potting soil. Suitable for all types of outdoor container plants, including flowers, shrubs, and vegetables, it is recommended to use a pot with a drainage hole, filling it about one-third full with the mix before adding the plant and more soil. A 2 cu. ft. bag can fill two 14-inch containers, and repotting annually is suggested to avoid soil compaction. The product is not organic and is designed for potting purposes with nutrient-enriched soil. It is not suitable for hydroponic use. Gardening gloves are recommended during use.
“For thriving container plants, this potting mix is unmatched in its ability to manage moisture effectively,” notes Anthony Costello.

This weed and grass killer features a dual action formula that eliminates existing weeds down to the root and prevents new growth for up to four months by creating an invisible soil barrier. It is suitable for application in areas such as driveways, sidewalks, patios, fences, mulched beds, and gravel. Effective results are achieved best in warm, sunny weather above 60°F, and the product becomes rainproof in 30 minutes. Weeds begin to yellow and wilt within hours, with complete elimination in 1 to 2 weeks. Ornamental plants, trees, shrubs, sod, and seeds can be planted four months post-application. The product is packaged in a 1-gallon container with an extended wand sprayer for precise application and is suitable for multi-region use against various weeds and grasses. The primary active ingredient is Triclopyr.
“For those persistent weeds, this Roundup product is a reliable solution to keep your garden pristine,” Anthony Costello shares.

This insect killer efficiently targets and eliminates a wide range of household bugs including ants, cockroaches, spiders, and more, providing a protective barrier for up to 12 months on non-porous indoor surfaces. Its Invisi-Shield Technology ensures a fume-free, clear, and fast-drying application. Suitable for use both indoors and outdoors, it can be applied as a preventative measure or in response to insect activity. The product is easy to apply using the included battery-powered Comfort Wand, which allows for continuous spraying without bending or hand fatigue.

Scotts Nature Scapes Deep Forest Brown Bark Color Enhanced Mulch 2 cu ft
Locally produced using regional forest products, this mulch provides vibrant, year-long color to landscapes through Color Guard technology, which helps it retain its hue. A three-inch layer effectively prevents weed growth by blocking sunlight. It can be used around trees, shrubs, flowers, or vegetables to enhance beauty and conserve soil moisture. Certified by the Mulch & Soil Council, it ensures quality and industry standards, containing only natural forest products. Manufactured within an average of 150 miles from where it is sold, it supports local production. For optimal color, keep it dry for 24 hours post-application and rake the top inch every 3-4 months. It is packaged in bags, with a dry volume of 2 cubic feet, covering 12 square feet at a 2-inch depth. The mulch is bark-based and comes in Deep Forest Brown.
“This mulch not only beautifies your garden but also supports local production, making it an eco-friendly choice,” Anthony Costello highlights.
