Gardening brochures, whether they arrive as a monthly edition, or with each season, glossy or plain paper, are a handy ready-reckoner for planning the coming season's garden display, access to hard to get plant varieties, and the replacement of worn out-tools or apparel. This is a great time of vision for most gardeners and many idle hours are taken up, traipsing through the garden in the mind. Oh! The possibilities! The imagination can run wild, with what you could do, given the time - and money.
These mini-magazines enable gardeners to buy the necessities for their gardening demands without leaving the comfort of their own home, offering a greater range at less expense, with much less trouble and also have it delivered to your front-door, ready for you use.
Gardening brochures, most of all, are very handy. Should you reside a fair distance from a nursery, or some kind of gardening center, it's often difficult to acquire all those essentials needed keep your garden in top shape. Let's face it, in any case - most gardening centers do not have everything you need for a garden, not to mention the fact that the really large centers can be quite overwhelming.
Let us also not forget, that there is a definite problem of the "I want's" in big centers, with the plants on show at their best and everything laid out just so. Gardening brochures give you more options and allow you to view everything and more, available as you sit at home, also, you are not assailed by the sensory over-load of all those colors and scents. At least with a brochure, you can take your time in the comfort of your own home (probably still get the "I want's" though, just not as bad). Whether you are in the market for seeds, plants, protective clothing, or equipment, a gardening brochure is a great alternative to gardening centers.
Gardening brochures really are a valuable horde of info for either the newbie or skilled gardener. There is generally in-depth explanations about all available stock, their growth habits and flowering seasons, and also the upkeep needed, whether it be specialized, or generic. Also, information about nutrient requirements and the correct occasions for fertilizing, is often included in these mini-magazines.
Gardening catalogs will often provide snippets, ideas and suggestions on things like: mower maintenance; how to control weeds and/or diseases in your garden; succession planting for color: etc. They can give step-by-step planting instructions, such as: plant positioning; how much sun; and seasonal planting times. Reputable businesses sending these brochures, will wait to deliver your products, until, based on what climate-zone you reside in, the correct planting time arrives.
Many gardening brochures also included gardening equipment, such as roto-tillers, whipper-snippers, etc, although this is generally considered to be a specialist area of gardening supply. Depending on the supplier, if they are only showing soft supplies, or only specialize in plants, a quick inquiry will probably see them forwarding you the information you need. If nothing else, gardening type people are very easy to get along with.
If it's hydroponics you're into, although once again a fairly specialized field, most catalogs will probably offer things like: water pumps, tap-timers, artificial illumination, nutrient solutions, etc.
Pruning shears or secateurs, knives, hand tools, and the like are fairly standard items in most brochures. Some have a big choice of gloves, making it possible to find a pair that's practical if not stylish, likewise a reasonable variety of protective clothing. Often there will be on offer a range of larger garden tools, generally regarded as large disposable items (this means that they will in fact wear out, or break - eventually) hoes, rakes, forks, spades, shovels, hoses, sprinklers, irrigation and drainage systems, etc.
Usually, the selection of seeds is far greater through catalogs, often including those really hard to get varieties. Also, some varieties of plants are rarely put on show in garden centers, say, if they are just too big, or some such. This is where the gardening brochure, really comes into it's own, imagine, being able to have full-grown trees delivered to your front door.
So, get on a couple of mailing lists and have gardening brochures sent to you, so that you can plan for the next spring from your armchair, with this visionary tool.
