Safely and effectively scare off marauding birds who seem to know exactly when seedlings are at their most tender or fruit crops are fully ripe on the tree. This shiny metalized 7/16” wide tape is silver on one side and red on the other.

Attached to stakes over seedling beds, or hung from fruit tree limbs, air movement causes the alternating sides to flutter and flash as they reflect light, signaling danger to birds. Flash tape works even against the most persistent birds. 290 ft. roll 

Wooden plant labels are just the ticket for identifying and keeping track of your newly sown seeds and seedlings. Made in the USA with New England white birch veneer, they are a welcome alternative to plastic and biodegradable, sustainable and renewable to boot. Use both sides with permanent marker or write in erasable pencil to extend use.

6” x 5/8”. Package of 24.

Why use chemical pesticides when this non-toxic, non-chemical alternative does the job? Regular application of Safer will control soft-bodied insects such as aphids, whiteflies, spittlebugs, earwigs, thrips and spider mites without harming people, pets, wildlife or beneficial insects.

Its formula is composed of potassium-based fatty acids that work by destroying the membranes of targeted insects, yet is gentle enough to spray directly on plants. A major ally in summer when aphids and whiteflies attack (and they always do!) and later again against a range of other pests. Biodegradable and OMRI Listed® for use in organic gardening. Easy to apply with our Multi-Use Pump Sprayer.

16 oz. container of concentrate to mix up as needed, making a total of 6.5 gallons of spray.

Nutrient-rich and high in nitrogen and phosphorous, we rely on Down to Earth Bio Fish Organic Fertilizer for success with all Brassica family members including broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale and pak choi, etc., because it helps them head up nicely without prematurely bolting (sending up a seed stalk). Because Brassicas also are notoriously prone to aphids, Bio Fish increases pest resistance by keeping plants well-nourished and strong from the start.

We also use Bio Fish fertilizer to boost heavy feeders like rapidly developing corn, tomatoes and cucumbers both early and midseason, and it is a fine supplement for beautiful heads of lettuce with sweet tasting leaves and juicy, strong growing leafy greens of all kinds. Don't forget to use it after harvesting your first “cut and come again” lettuces to foster fast regrowth for another harvest. 

Easy to use Bio Fish can be mixed into planting beds and containers, added to the planting hole when transplanting seedlings and used throughout the season as a side-dressing to boost nutrition and performance for all of your garden plants.

Our go-to choice of fertilizer for plants that flower or fruit! We amend all of our flower beds with this gentle formula, broadcasting about 5 lbs. per 100 square feet, digging it well into the soil. We sow directly into the amended beds and it never burns the plants.

For fruiting varieties like cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants, work several tablespoons into each planting hole when transplanting, then side dress throughout the season as needed.

For container flowers and vegetables, amend the potting soil with several tablespoons before planting. It makes a noticeable difference, resulting in lush, vigorous growth and great flower and fruit set. Because container plants need to be constantly watered, nutrients flush out fast. About a month after planting, side-dress with All Purpose to keep them productive throughout a long season.

This is also our favorite fertilizer around the landscape. In early spring, when perennials are still dormant and spring rains expected, broadcast sparingly, then cover with a layer of mulch. The fertilizer breaks down slowly and, as plants wake up, they sprout back with vigor. Especially good for dahlias, roses, and bulbs – we also use it on grapes, kiwis and other fruit trees.

Ingredients: Fish Bone Meal, Blood Meal, Feather Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Rock Phosphate, Langbeinite, Humates and Kelp Meal.

Our favorite gloves – hands-down!  We’ve tried about every type of glove out there and we still swear by Atlas nitrile gloves for everyday gardening duties.

Made of breathable nylon knit, the thin and grippy nitrile coating offers good protection without compromising dexterity. They’re perfect for fine motor tasks like planting out seedlings, weeding and sowing – anything where you need to be able to feel what you’re doing. Plus, nitrile is three times more puncture resistant than ordinary rubber – protecting your palms and fingertips from splinters and thorns.

Elasticized wrists keep dirt out without being too tight. And they’re washable, too, holding up well without shrinking or snagging.

We offer Small, Medium and Large gloves in four bright colors that make them easy to spot in the garden: Pink, Orange, Purple and Green.

Non-toxic and OMRI registered for use in all organic gardening, Sluggo Plus reliably kills slimy slugs and voracious snails as well as pillbugs, sow bugs and earwigs: all the very unwelcome garden pests that particularly love young seedlings. We absolutely rely on Sluggo Plus as we always get these pests in spring and it absolutely works quickly and efficiently.   

Sluggo Plus comes as granules that you simply spread/sprinkle among seedlings/young plants, so there’s no need to spray or mix anything. Its active ingredients are a combination of iron phosphate and Spinosad, a natural substance made by a soil bacterium that is toxic to insects. 

Sluggo Plus bait lures slugs, snails and its target insects from their hiding places and attacks their nervous and digestive systems when they ingest the granules. It works so well that we cannot remember how we managed without it!

Unfortunately for home gardeners, birds of many kinds love young seedlings and baby plants. Sometimes they eat them, but they also frequently just pull them out! It’s frustrating, especially after all the work we’ve put into raising tender young plants. The best way to keep birds out is by exclusion. We use and recommend reusable Bird X protective netting.

Made in the USA, this high-quality, heavy duty 5/8-inch polypropylene mesh holds up because it has UV inhibitors, does not tear easily and holds up over time. It’s an excellent product that ensures protection for both tiny seedlings and young plants of vegetables, flowers and herbs in your garden beds.

Simply stretch the bird netting tautly over supports to hold it above the seedlings. We recommend using pliable irrigation tubing (aka poly tubing) bent into hoops over the bed so it holds the netting securely 12-15 inches above the plants. Even if birds land on it, they won’t be able to push it down and peck at your plants.

Each package contains a 7’ x 20’ length of netting.
Easy to cut to the size of your garden beds.

Growing vining/climbing vegetables and flowers requires a good plant support system. We use and recommend this sturdy, lightweight and reusable polypropylene trellis. It supports climbing flowers and vining vegetables both horizontally and vertically. Made in Italy, this durable, strong UV resistant netting allows air to circulate freely and its big squares are easy to reach through and harvest on both sides. 

Easily attached to poles, fences or tripods, it handily supports plants that do best trained up, including pole beans of all kinds, tall peas, cucumbers, mini pumpkins, gourds, and climbing summer squash, as well as sweet peas, morning glories, and many other ornamentals and edibles. 

The netting also can be installed horizontally over flower beds to support tall flowers. This is especially useful in gardens where the soil is loose and sandy or where high winds are an issue. Flowers grow up through the netting and will not flop over. 

Choose from two sizes: 6.5 feet x 15 feet length or 6.5 feet x 30 feet length. Enough to amply support several garden crops and easy to cut to size as needed.
