Published on April 12, 2016
In her latest article, gardening enthusiast Jessica Dawe takes a closer look at essential gardening products that can help you grow a thriving garden. From raised garden beds to composters and fertilizers, here's a roundup of the products she recommends.
Raised Garden Beds
Jessica Dawe suggests investing in raised garden beds made from durable materials like cedar or redwood. Farmstead offers raised garden beds constructed from natural cedar, and they come with adjustable heights for customization. For those who prefer eco-friendly options, Farmstead also provides raised garden beds made from recycled materials.
Composters
Composting is an excellent way to recycle kitchen waste and create nutrient-rich soil for your garden. The Jora JK270 Composter, with its 9.5 cubic feet capacity, is a great choice for larger gardens. Its removable drum makes emptying a breeze, and the composter's compact design takes up minimal space. If you're looking for a more secure composting solution, consider a stainless steel compost keeper with a lid to prevent pests and animals from entering.
Fertilizers
Organic fertilizers like Corn Gluten Organic Fertilizer are a natural choice for gardeners who want to keep their gardens free from synthetic chemicals. This fertilizer, available in a 40-pound bag, acts as a pre-emergent herbicide that helps control weeds while providing essential nutrients for your plants. For those who prefer a more balanced approach, consider using a synthetic NPK fertilizer to meet the specific nutritional needs of your garden.
Garden Hose
To conserve water and ensure safety, choose a garden hose made from lead-free materials. Look for hoses with a shut-off valve to control water flow and a kink-free design for easy handling.
Wildflower Farms Eco-Lawn Grass Seed
For a pollinator-friendly lawn, consider Wildflower Farms Eco-Lawn Grass Seed. This non-GMO seed blend promotes pollinators and provides a beautiful, colourful lawn. Available in a 5-pound bag.
The Worm Factory 360 Composter
Last but not least, Jessica Dawe also mentions the Worm Factory 360 Composter. This composter has multiple trays for composting at different stages, making it an ideal choice for those who want to create high-quality compost with minimal effort.

To help create a thriving garden, consider adopting a lifestyle that includes a home-and-garden approach, such as using raised garden beds, composters, and fertilizers. For instance, Farmstead offers raised garden beds made from natural cedar, and the Jora JK270 Composter is a great choice for larger gardens due to its large capacity and easy emptying design. To maintain the health of your garden, you might consider organic fertilizers like Corn Gluten Organic Fertilizer, which acts as both a pre-emergent herbicide and a nutrient provider.
