It’s that time of year again — time to prep our yard for spring season! We have been meaning to for weeks now, but all of this late season snow here in Colorado has delayed us a bit. Thankfully, the forecast is callling for warmer weather this weekend, which means my yard will finally get some much-needed attention! My husband and I are planning on planting our garden, trimming bushes, and laying down new mulch.

If you are planning on getting your yard ready for spring, here are some recommended gardening supplies you may need:

  • Scotts Florida Select Mulch
  • Plants
  • Flowers
  • Landscape liner
  • Shovel
  • Trowel
  • Gardening Rake
  • Gardening Hoe
  • Edger
  • Pruner
  • Water Hose
  • Wheelbarrow or Garden Cart

If you are a Florida resident, Scotts Florida Select Natural Eucalyptus Mulch is the perfect mulch for sustainable gardening. It is made from 100% Florida-grown Eucalyptus. Eucalyptus Mulch is a sustainable Cypress alternative that is grown in Florida, for Florida!

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

1. SUSTAINABLE: Sustainably-harvested and plantation grown Eucalyptus is considered a renewable resource because it re-grows up to 4-times faster than Cypress.*

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

3. EFFECTIVE: Prevents weeds naturally while helping to conserve soil moisture and moderate soil temperature. A three-inch layer of Eucalyptus Mulch naturally helps prevent weeds by blocking growth and access to sunlight.

4. LOCAL: 100% Florida-grown – helps support your local economy.

How to Use Scotts Florida Select Natural Eucalyptus Mulch

Apply around trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables after seeds have germinated and plants have developed. After applying, spread 3 inches deep. Avoid using it before seeds have germinated, around underdeveloped plants, and within several inches of house foundations or other wood surfaces. A 2 cu. ft. bag will cover a 12 sq. ft of bedding area at a depth of 2 inches.
