Overwintering Geraniums Redux

Posted on October 27, 2014 by Jim

I originally wrote this post a couple of Autmuns ago, but it's just one of those posts that I think deserves a yearly redux. Last year I added about six geraniums to my overwinting project, and all six did great and will be overwintered once again this year.  Not only does overwintering save your geraniums from the compost heap, but it saves you money as well!

Landscaping & Clean-up Tips for Fall

Posted on September 22, 2014 by Jim

Since it's the first day of fall I thought it would be appropriate for a fall post, even though I'm really not ready to let summer go.  However, I happen love fall in the garden, I use the cooler temps for large projects I've planned and when I clean up I tend to really clean up.  I always feel the more I clean in the fall, the better my gardens look in the spring & summer.  That said I wanted to share a few of my fall landscaping tips, including cleaning up.

Step-by-Step Build your own Fire Pit

Posted on July 14, 2014 by Jim

Last year my little one and I built our own Fire Pit, I posted it July of 2013 and I decided to re-post it this year since the response was so great.  There’s nothing like a nice fire in the evening hours to wind down these long summer days.  Whether you enjoy a good S’mores, or a glass of wine, the crackling of burning wood is sure to relax.  So I thought I'd re-share my step-by-step on how we built it.

First let me start by saying that there are thousands of ways to build your own fire pit.  The instruction I’ll lay out below just happens to be a fast, easy, and most importantly inexpensive way to do it.  I wanted an old, rustic, “cottagey” look, and I felt this served me the best.  Since the pit has been in place for one year now, there are a couple of things I think I would add and I've mentioned them at the end of the post…

Posted on June 30, 2014 by Jim

JGB Enterprises now offers a new Point of Sale (POS) or Point of Purchase (POP) display for The Perfect Garden Hose to meet the merchandising and display needs of our retailers.  The display can be sent empty for loading by the retailer, or preloaded with five 100' units, ten 50' units, and ten 25' units. 

JGB General Manager Josh Defino states, "Our aim was to create a display that connects to the gardener who is looking for a solution to the problems associated with their garden hose.  The display highlights the Kink-PROOF, Extra Flexible, & Ultra Lightweight attributes that The Perfect Garden Hose is known for."

                                                               

The New display is made with heavy duty corrugated cardboard to withstand continuous loading and unloading, and is "wrapped" in an image of our unique blue colored garden hose, featuring the popular imagery of the "knot" that's become the face of the product.  We're also in the final stages of offering a "no tear" packaging solution for the product that will be available soon.
