CALLOWAY'S TIMELY TIPS FOR APRIL GARDENERS
Many gardeners are looking for ways to get the most out of gardening and landscape
enjoyment while preserving and protecting our environment. Earth-Kind™ gardening uses
research-proven techniques to achieve this and it can be done in any home garden.
The objective of Earth-Kind™ gardening is to combine the best of organic
and traditional gardening and landscaping principles. Begin with proper
flower bed preparation. Amend your soils with organic compost and
expanded shale to open up and aerate clay soils. Use seeds and plants which
have been proven to thrive in our Texas weather and always top-dress all
plantings with a 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch.
Earth-Kind™ is an important designation given to select roses by the Texas
A&M University Agriculture program. Earth-Kind™ Roses have been
through rigorous statewide testing and evaluation by a team of horticultural
experts. They tend to be drought tolerant, disease resistant and overall low
maintenance. These roses produce abundant blooms and beautiful foliage.
Our most popular Earth-Kind™ variety is ‘Knock-Out®’ which will grace
your landscape with cherry red blooms until the first hard frost.
We will be hosting a free clinic in every store on Earth-Kind™ Gardening
