Lets get ready for the long sleep! In part 1 of this series The Growing Season jumps into a pile of leaves before they're blown into the flower beds for the off-season.  Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland discuss the how-to's of what to do to get your property prepped for the winter season. How do you prep your lawn for a long sleep?  What are the benefits of gypsum?  Can you use it in the fall? The composition of triple mix topsoil is discussed and how it relates to all those leaves your trees are dropping at this time of year. Sumacs become a focal point and The McFarland Query System chimes in to help. The difference between form pruning and function during are uncovered.  Looking to book a consult for your property?  We'd love to help.  CLICK HERE. What is a TGS Tiny Garden? CLICK HERE.
