Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed Lawn Fertilizer For Multiple Grass Types 4000 sq ft
This lawn care product combines a weed killer and fertilizer using WeedGrip Technology to eliminate visible and hidden weeds, controlling over 50 types, including clover and dandelion. It also nourishes and thickens lawns to prevent future weed growth. 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.
“This fertilizer is a game-changer for anyone struggling with weeds while wanting to maintain a healthy lawn,” said Reiser. “The dual action ensures your lawn is both weed-free and lush.”
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.
“Using the right potting mix is crucial for the health of your plants, and Miracle-Gro Moisture Control ensures they thrive,” Reiser explained. “It’s perfect for both amateur and seasoned gardeners.”

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.
“Roundup’s dual action formula is a must-have for anyone looking to maintain a pristine garden free of weeds,” Reiser noted. “Its lasting effect is truly impressive.”

Suitable for use both indoors and outdoors, it can be applied as a preventative measure or in response to insect activity.

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.
