GARDEN CARE

Creekside Home and Garden carries soil, pest treatments, weed control options and various hardware such as pottery, tools, trellises and supports. We hope to help you find what you need to care for your garden.

Our assortment of pottery includes ceramic, clay, metal and plastic pots to fit any need or style.

Whether you are looking to refresh your garden’s soil or re-pot a cactus, we have what you’re looking for. We carry seedling starter, potting soil, top soil, triple mix, peat moss, mulch, manure, compost, worm castings, orchid mix and zeolite. Some common soil brands that we carry are Berger, CIL, Pro-Mix and Sea Soil.

Fertilizers are essential to replenish nutrients in the soil and maintain healthy flowers, trees, shrubs and vegetables. Creekside has both chemical and organic based products like: Scott’s, Miracle-Gro, bone meal, fish fertilizer and worm castings.

 

Unsure which fertilizer is best for you? To know the purpose of each fertilizer, look at the three numbers on the label. For example, 10-15-10. These numbers represent the primary nutrients in the fertilizer, nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (N-P-K).

 

N – Nitrogen will help your plants’ foliage grow quicker, bigger and develop a darker green colour. Fertilizers with high nitrogen are great for lawns.
P – Phosphorus aids in root development, increases flowering ability and bloom size. Phosphorus can be used to boost flowering annuals or perennials and help establish newly planted lawns, trees and shrubs.
K – Potassium is primarily used for overall plant health. It helps the plant protect itself from diseases and pests, as well as aids in drought protection and cold tolerance.

 

Microbial inoculants can be used as an alternative method to amend soil. We carry a two part system by Eco Tea which contains nitrogen fixing bacteria. These microbial inoculants improve plant vigor and crop yields.

From shovels, gloves, hoses and rakes, we have the tools for your garden care needs.

There are a variety of different solutions to battle against pests, diseases and weeds. If you have an insect problem, choose from our range of Doktor Doom products to fight back. If you want to remove persistent weeds, we also carry many products like Weed Out, Round Up, and Killex.
