They offer a subscription service where you send in a soil test and, based on those results, they customize the liquid fertilizer solutions that they send to you based on your soil’s specific needs.
It’s truly a gift that keeps giving because every couple of months are so throughout the season, Sunday will send a supply of fertilizer for that time of year. It’s like getting a new present over and over again!

Mower Blade Sharpening Kit (Reel & Rotary)
If you have a manual push mower, this simple tool will keep your blades sharp; one of the most undervalued maintenance tasks for a healthy lawn. Clean cuts prevent diseases and will reduce stress on the grass.
Some especially rough turf grasses, like St. Augustine, may require monthly blade sharpening, but that can be time-consuming and expensive. Treat your lawn-obsessed friend to this time-saving tool whether they have a traditional rotary mower or reel mower.

Seller: Amazon
What Reviewers Say: Buyers love how clean and sharp they are able to get their blades with the lapping paste, and say the compound will last a long time if you store it correctly. The only recommendation from users was to use a drill attachment to make the process faster.
Why We Like It: Getting your mower blade sharpened can be a hassle, which is why it is a commonly overlooked maintenance task. This kit helps maintain consistently sharp blades, which makes mowing more enjoyable and less stressful for your lawn.
Dimensions: 10.6 x 5.5 x 1.8 inches
Colors: Silver
Weight: 6 ounces

Seller: Amazon
What Reviewers Say: Buyers love how lightweight and easy these bags are to use, and they especially love the handle on the bottom that makes it easy to dump out the yard waste.
Why We Like It: Paper bags and garbage bags are both one-time use products for throwing away leaves, weeds, and clippings. These reusable bags help with yard cleanup, but are durable enough to be hauled to the compost bin or leaf shredder to recycle lawn waste and create your own mulch or compost.

Click here for latest pricing (link to Amazon).
Seller: Amazon
What Reviewers Say: Buyers say this little reel mower is sturdy, durable, and cuts easily. However, sticks and other debris get caught easily. Rake before using.

With a quick readjustment, this leaf blower turns into a vacuum that sucks leaf litter and grass clippings into the fan and mulches the debris. The shredded plant material is collected in a bag with a sling that fits over the shoulder. Perfect for cleaning up sidewalk and landscape areas without raking or sweeping.

Seller: Amazon

Put the shredder over a trash can or reusable yard waste bag to collect the leaves and use them in a compost pile or for mulch.
Click here for latest pricing (link to Amazon).
Seller: Amazon
What Reviewers Say: Buyers like that they are able to reduce the amount of bags they need for leaves, but some users said it was a time-consuming process compared to just bagging. This will depend on what you intend to do with these collective leaves. If you are adding to compost or mulching, shredding is preferred.

Dimensions: 22 x 22 x 13 inches
Colors: Black & Orange
Weight: 24.3 Lbs.
Use: Shred leaves to use as compost or mulch.

Click here for latest pricing (link to Amazon).
