Lowe's Companies, Inc, a Fortune 50 home improvement company has offered certain innovative ideas to make gardening simpler and enjoyable. To avoid unsightly crabgrass from growing, Lowes suggests the use of Sta-Green® Phosphorus-free CrabEx with Fertilizer. For controlling other lawn weeds Sta-Green® Phosphorus-free Weed and Feedis recommended.

When you have that settled, take your gardening to the next level. Plant easy-to-grow flowers: the bountiful Wave Petunias; the picture-perfect Gerbera Daisy with its large blooms; and the all-time favorite Impatiens for shady locations. These and many more are available in different colors.

For the eco-conscious, plant them in Fiskars All-Natural Planter to create a beautiful garden arrangement.According to Lowes, a manicured lawn can be achieved only with the right mower. Before you rev up your old mower, though, make sure you use sharp blades to avoid tearing the grass and turning it brown, clean the spark plugs, lubricate all moving parts and use appropriate fuel mixture.
