It’s the time of year when we have to get the shovels out of the shed, head to the store to buy gardening supplies like Scotts Florida Select Natural Eucalyptus Mulch and pretty flowers!  I love thinking about planting new flowers each year and what our yard will look like once we are done.  We have a pretty big pool in our backyard and right now there is not a single plant around it!  Here’ are some pictures of ideas that I would like to implement in our yard…. consider these photos my inspiration!

I love the bright flowers in this landscape and the pathway is adorable!

The rock and plant landscaping around this pool is gorgeous!

This is for the jungle woman in me!

Scotts Florida Select Natural Eucalyptus Mulch is made from 100% Florida-grown Eucalyptus and is not just for Florida yards!  Apply mulch around trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables after seeds have germinated and plants have developed to help keep weeds from growing and to keep your flower beds and landscape looking clean and tidy.

Scotts Florida Select Natural Eucalyptus Mulch is the best option for your landscape because it is:

SUSTAINABLE:  Are you concerned with sustainable gardening?
Sustainably-harvested and plantation grown Eucalyptus is considered a renewable resource because it re-grows up to 4-times faster than Cypress.*

NATURAL: Made from 100% plantation-grown Eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus Mulch is guaranteed free from any construction, demolition, pallet, or other waste materials.

EFFECTIVE: Prevents weeds naturally** while helping to conserve soil moisture and moderate soil temperature.

Plus..

Scotts Florida Select Mulch is LOCAL: 100% Florida-grown – helps support your local economy.

I have a hard time remembering when is the best time to spread mulch.

When and how to spread mulch:

• Apply around trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables after seeds have germinated and plants have developed. Spread the mulch 3 inches deep.
• Make sure to keep mulch several inches from tree trunks and house foundations or other wood structures.
• A 2 cu. ft. bag will cover the following: At a depth of 2 inches, 12 sq. ft of bedding area. At a depth of 3 inches, 8 sq. ft. of bedding area. At a depth of 4 inches, 6 sq. ft. of bedding.

Don’t live in Florida?  It’s ok!
