It’s growing season at Odiorne! This month we’d like to tell you more about our pre-emergent, feed & weed, fertilizer and seeds. In Texas, especially, the need for lawn and garden care often comes with record-breaking temperatures. This year, don’t let the heat beat you down! Be prepared before planting anything by stocking up with us.

First up, let’s talk about pre-emergent:

As the days get longer, temperatures inch higher. As the Texas landscape warms up, blooming flowers become a cheerful reminder of spring. But before you can enjoy those beautiful blossoms in your garden or pasture, it’s important to prepare for growing season—and that means understanding pre-emergent herbicides.

Pre-emergent herbicides are products used to stop weeds from emerging out of the soil and taking over your yard. As part of their spring gardening arsenal, savvy Texans use pre-emergents as one line of defense against weeds encroaching on desirable plants in their outdoor spaces. At Odiorne, we carry Hi-Yield, which works as both a pre-emergent and fertilizer!

Second, let’s take a look at feed & weed:

How do you make sure that your garden stays healthy and productive? One key tool for success is applying weed & feed throughout the season. These substances work by providing a balanced combination of nutrients essential for lush vegetation. In addition, also controlling any pesky weeds that may be vying for resources too.

We carry products that can be used from every inch of soil in a large garden all the way down to a potted plat. For example:

1. Lady Bug is made in Conroe, Texas. It is good to topdress the lawn, mulch around trees and shrubs, enrich garden soils, and loosen heavy clay or compacted soils.
2. For the potted plants? Their roots can’t seek out nutrition in the ground, so you have to bring it to them. “Jump start their root growth,” with Happy Frog Potting Soil. Their tagline is a pun and who doesn’t love a good pun?

What exactly does fertilizer do?

Fertilizer provides essential nutrition in controlled and measured doses. It is important for any gardeners interested in healthy and bountiful harvests to understand the basics about fertilizer use.
