In a recent article, garden enthusiast Robin Jacobs sheds light on a variety of products that can help transform your home garden. From composters and fertilizers to raised garden beds and hoses, this guide offers practical tips for making the most of these gardening essentials.
Jora JK270 Composter
The insulated metal body of the Jora JK270 Composter allows for hot composting even in winter. To ensure optimal composting, aim for a balanced turning schedule, neither too often nor too little, to maintain heat and decomposition.
Corn Gluten Organic Fertilizer
Corn Gluten Organic Fertilizer serves as a pre-emergent weed control and slow-release nitrogen source. Apply it early in the growing season to prevent weed seeds from germinating and support plant growth.
Worm Factory 360 Composter
Starting with an adequate number of worms is essential for the Worm Factory 360 Composter. A 500g pack typically contains about 450-500 composting worms (Dendrobaena species). For faster composting, starting with about 1kg of worms is recommended. Keep the bin in a cool, shaded place and avoid direct sunlight to maintain worm health.
Stainless Steel Compost Keeper
Stainless steel compost keepers help keep pests out and maintain aeration. Position it in a well-drained area and turn contents periodically to encourage aerobic decomposition.
Natural Cedar Raised Garden Beds
Cedar wood is naturally resistant to rot and insects. When assembling, ensure good soil quality inside and avoid overwatering to maintain plant health. The natural wood also offers aesthetic benefits and should be placed in sun-accessible locations.
Wildflower Farms Eco-Lawn Grass Seed
For eco-lawns, prepare the soil by removing weeds and loosening the topsoil. Sow seeds evenly and keep the soil moist until germination. Eco-lawns often tolerate mowing less frequently and require less fertilizer.
Premium Drinking Water Safe Garden Hose
This hose is designed to water plants safely without risk of chemical contamination. Store it properly to avoid kinks and leaks, and draining water after use in freezing temperatures helps prolong lifespan.
VegTrug Raised Garden Planter
The VegTrug Raised Garden Planter facilitates easy access and soil management. Fill with quality soil mix, water appropriately, and consider crop rotation. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

The Farmstead Raised Garden Bed has a capacity of 7.5 cubic feet. No specific details were provided, but raised garden beds can help improve soil quality and drainage, making them ideal for growing a wide variety of plants.
Natural Cedar L-Shaped Raised Garden Beds
Available in various sizes, the Natural Cedar L-Shaped Raised Garden Beds are another option for those seeking to elevate their garden beds. Like the standard Natural Cedar Raised Garden Beds, they are resistant to rot and insects.
