Starting Thursday October 11 through Wednesday October 17 our Fall Lineup Theme is Fall Clean Up and Composting here at Skillin's.
*This Saturday October 13 we are holding our Beds to Rest class at each Skillin's store. We are offering 2 classes; one at 9 AM and also another at 1 PM. The class is free of charge; Getting a good winters rest makes the spring look brighter. Let us share with you how to get our perennials, roses and shrubs tucked away for winter. And before the tucking away should happen we can explain to you some of the wise steps of fall cleanup. Email us at info@skillins.com if you would like to register for the class; just let us know the time and location (Brunswick, Cumberland or Falmouth).
Now onto our exciting specials for the week:
*All Compost Bins are 20% off! Come let us show you how to set up your composting process for your yard. Make sure we give you our complimentary Skillin's Composting Book; a compiliation of good source material we have accumulated over the years.
*All Garden Carts are 20% off! Years ago, I purchased a 7 cubic foot capacity Agri Fab wooden cart here and I still use it in my yard all the time for hauling leaves, wood, garden cuttings and years ago my toddler son who is now a senior in high school! That is a great quality cart with lots of memories; and at 20% off this week you are probably paying less for the cart than I did years and years ago.
*All Garden Gloves are 20% off! We have a great selection of gloves. Check out our selection of West County Gardener Gloves (http://www.westcountygardener.com/). They are a top of the line glove and of course they are on sale this week. We have garden gloves of all price ranges and types; don't be hobbled by blisters!
*All Garden Rakes are 20 off! I am considered a little nutty by some because I LOVE to rake leaves; well maybe not LOVE but I love to get out there in the fresh air and rake those colorful leaves up. We have some great rakes of all price ranges on sale for you.
Lime is a great additive to your compost pile and also typically a good thing to put on the lawn to keep that pH range between 6.0 and 6.8; we have pelletized lime on sale for $3.49 per bag; it usually sells for $4.99
Have some bare ground that could use some enriching. For years, farmers and gardeners alike have sown "green manure" or a winter cover crop that can be "tilled" or cultivated into the ground in the Spring. We often recommend winter rye; which grows well in the fall; dies off by Spring and then can be cultivated into the ground as a good source of organic matter for your soil. Winter rye is on sale this week for 20% off.
We also still have perennials, shrubs, and trees on sale for some great prices. And Fall is still the best Time for Planting.
We also still have a great selection of Fall Mums, pumpkins, and gourds that will give your home and yard a great fall look!
Come see us, enjoy and save!
