🍂🏡 Getting Your Lowcountry Yard & Garden Ready for Winter! 🍁❄️

Winter is just around the corner in the Lowcountry, and it's the perfect time to prepare your yard and garden for the chilly months ahead. Here are some tips and product recommendations to help you get started:

1. **Clean Up Debris**: Remove fallen leaves, twigs, and dead plants from your garden beds and lawn. A sturdy rake and leaf bags are essential for this task. Try our lawn bags for easy leaf collection.

2. **Pruning**: Trim overgrown branches and bushes. Our "Fiskars Bypass Pruner" is a reliable tool for precise cutting.

3. **Lawn Care**: Give your lawn some TLC. Use a winter fertilizer like "Pennington" which we carry here at Owens to keep it healthy during the cold months.

4. **Mulch**: Apply a layer of mulch to protect plant roots from freezing. Cypress or pine straw mulch works well for the Lowcountry. Look for "Nature Scapes".

5. **Plant Bulbs**: Fall is a great time to plant spring bulbs. Daffodils and tulips add vibrant colors to your garden. Consider "Burpee" or "Garden State Bulb" bulb assortments.

6. **Protect Delicate Plants**: If you have tender plants, cover them with frost cloth or garden blankets. "Agfabric Plant Covers" are excellent for this purpose.

7. **Clean Tools**: Don't forget to clean and store your garden tools properly. A brush and a little elbow grease will do wonders. Try "Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner."

8. **Pest Control**: Check for pests and apply an organic winter pest control solution like "Safer Brand Insect Killing Soap."

9. **Gutter Maintenance**: Clear out gutters and downspouts to prevent clogs and water damage. "Gutter Guard" is a useful product for keeping debris out.

10. **Bird Feeding**: Set up bird feeders to provide a food source for our feathered friends. "" feeders are easy to maintain.

Remember to adapt these tips to the specific conditions of your yard and garden in the Lowcountry. Proper winter preparation will help your outdoor space thrive come springtime. Happy gardening! 🌻🍁❄️ #LowcountryGardening #WinterPrep #GardenTips #OwensSupplyCo
