Rejuvinate© was formulated as an additive to existing soils in aging raised beds, planter beds and containers or it can be used alone as a high quality soil. Rejuvinate© performs best when mixed or incorporated into an existing soil (1:4) but can be applied to the surface in cases where the soil must be left undisturbed. Raised beds and planter beds: Apply 1 to 2 inches of Rejuvenate© to the soil surface and mix with the existing soil before seeding. Transplanting: Mix 50/50 with the backfilled soil when transplanting vegetables, bedding plants, ornamentals and fruit trees.

Planting of Fall and Winter Vegetable Gardens extends from now until mid-September. In our climate you can plant all through the winter if you know what to plant. And when. And where.

In the Fall weather begins to cool. Cold-blooded insects look for warm places to live until it gets warm again. Insects, and the critters who eat them, trail them. This means your home becomes a resort destination for cockroaches, spiders, scorpions and the food they eat.

Protect your home with an insect barrier you can apply as a spray that lasts for months. Prelude insecticide is a commercialgrade insecticide that is approved for do-it-yourselfers. You will need a pump up sprayer if you plan on doing it yourself. Send us an email and we will send you complete details.
