Where i live, we now have longer & hotter droughts in summer, so i am blocking the holes at the bottom of my pots & drilling new ones 1"to 3" up the sides to provide a reservoir at the base.
This was very helpful. You covered a lot f products and featured many things I'm interested in. My niece is a new homeowner with a May birthday and you've provided an entire gift basket of ideas. Many thanks!
I have to admit I've not checked the garden area at Dollar Tree (low expectations) but you covered some things that I totally didn't expect (the flower pots, stacking pots, the lantern, plant clips, among others - lol) and really appreciated your comments about type of plastic and the 'strange' coating on the coco-core.... good customer awareness... You mentioned the watering trays, depending on "the showiness" you want, several of the dinner plates / soup bowls, serving tray/bowls (in the past) have been deep enough, and dress up the area.
You have a nice haul. Buy a lot of garden supplies from Dollar tree. Those plant clamps are very nice. I really needed these for my indoor plants and outdoor plants. The flower pots are are great buys. I bought several of those. .. all my seeds come up even the one dollar little cup of basil popped up in a couple days. I asked about the price hike. We asked at the dollar tree here in Alabama about the price changes. They’re not raising the prices they’re bringing more items in that cost more. The same things are gonna be 1.25..3.00.. and five dollars, but the newer items are gonna be up to seven dollars. That’s the type of changes they will make. They are bigger and better quality things that are coming.
The garden area of DT is the main reason I go there. Everything is smaller and quality is not the same either. And with them closing stores raising prices up to $7 and trying to attract customers with more disposable income, they will lose their solid customer base as people will find better deals at places like Walmart. Typical corporate greed
It has become more difficult to find good bargains. Comparison shopping and keeping an list of prices/sizes is definitely helpful. Thanks for watching!
