AP9 HomeWorksPlus Offers Tips on Preparing Your Garden for Summer
AP9 HomeWorksPlus by Adaptive Marketing LLC Helps Green Thumbers and Others Save Substantially on Landscaping Supplies, Gardening Needs, More
Stamford, CT (PRWEB) May 6, 2005 -- Spring has sprung, and while a young
man’s fancies may turn to love, green-thumb members of AP9 HomeWorksPlus, a
leading discount membership program offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC and
accessed through DealPass, also turn their attention to more tangible rewards
-- beautiful gardens at affordable prices.
AP9 HomeWorksPlus
knows that vibrant gardens do more than just add color and life to your
surroundings; a well-landscaped yard can increase the value of your property.
And while AP9 HomeWorksPlus members can take joy in the real estate rewards,
they can also take home significant savings through their members-only
benefits.
AP9 HomeWorksPlus offers a few helpful tips as you set out this
spring to beautify your yard:
- First, check your gardening tools and
supplies (spades, shovels, pruning shears, potting soil, fertilizer and the
like). Clean and restock your inventory as needed.
- Next, clean the flower
bed. Clear off fallen branches and debris, and rake off last year’s leftover
growth, mulch and leaves, taking care not to damage any early-growing
perennials. Add the leftover growth and leaves to your compost heap (or create a
compost heap if you don’t already have one).
- Test the basic nutrient values
and the pH level of your soil. Check with your local nursery to find a soil
test. The nutrients and pH level can help you determine which plants and
vegetables will flourish in your chosen location.
- Protect your crop. Apply
pesticides as needed to keep insects from eating away at your plants. If you’re
growing vegetables, consider putting up a fence around your garden to keep deer
and other foraging animals from dining on your efforts.
- Start (or maintain)
a compost heap. Compost heaps create rich, fertile filler for flowers and other
plants, and they’re environmentally sound: You can recycle leaves, eggshells,
spoiled fruit and vegetables, coffee grounds, tea bags -- even old newspapers,
pet hair and fireplace ash. Go online or ask your local nursery for more
information.
AP9 HomeWorksPlus members have access to a variety of
savings for their home and yard through the program. They can log on to their
members-only website at DealPass.com to save at major home centers, department
stores and other national retailers.
