I LOVE â€ïžÂ Homegrown Tomatoes! đ Like many of you, I just hate when my plants are attacked by the dreaded Tomato Hornworms! They can devour a plant overnight and ruin your yields. So, I keep an eye on my plants daily & pick them off quickly… Unless I see one that has been visited by a parasitic wasp. Then, I just leave it be…Â
In a healthy, organic garden, donât use chemicals! Let natural predators take care of business | Carterâs Nursery, Pond & Patio
Hereâs a link to more info on this wonderful, natural predator, the Parasitic Wasp đđ»

Late season Tomatoes đ
 are the best! I think we are in for a bumper crop of September, October & maybe even November Tomatoes đ
! Organic just tastes better đ
Fall is Coming đÂ

As a âPond Enthusiastâ I am always looking for  ideas & tips to keep my Water Garden cleaner and ways to have less maintenance. Then I like to share them with you đ One of the biggies is Proper Filtration! Keeping the water clean & clear! And also, keeping the algae and sludge to a minimum… That brings me to todayâs Pond Tip :  đđ»
– Algae Eating Japanese Trapdoor Snails (Viviparis malleatus). Â đ„
These snails are highly sought after by Pond Keepers. They are non-invasive, hardy & will help to keep algae under control in your Water Garden! Japanese Trapdoor Snails will work around your entire Pond consuming decaying organic matter like algae, leaves, excess fish food, and fish waste.
Japanese Trapdoor Snails are hardy and can live up to 5 years! They really help to keep your pond clean. Hereâs one we just pulled out of a pond at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio during a clean out demonstration | Jackson, TN
Japanese Trapdoor Snails are âLive-Bearingâ and only breed a couple of times per year â So they wonât take over your pond! Unlike other snails that can breed out of control.
Japanese trapdoor Snails do a great job helping with Pond Maintenance and they only cost around $5 each.
I try to always have some available for purchase. You need to have around 10 Japanese Trapdoor Snails per 50 sq. ft. of surface area of pond and they really make a difference!Â
There you have it… Pond Tip Tuesday lives on…Â
Happy Pondering đ€Â
The pools are open and Summertime is upon us! So in that spirit, ALL our hanging baskets are ON – SALE! Boom đ„Â
The Hanging Baskets are YUGE! 5 for $50! Yes, you heard me correctly!
Boston fern, Kimberly Queen, Macho fern, Petunias, Purple Hearts, Wandering Jew, and more! 5 for $50! đ„
Come on by and load up on some beauty! Right now, we can use all the beauty we can get â€ïž
Have a Great Thursday!Â

I do a weekly Gardening Show on the radio with Seabass (The 180) @ 101.5fm radio. Itâs a call in talk show where people ask questions about all sorts of things. Last week âLasagna Gardeningâ came up and it brought back some old memories from way back when… Hereâs a Blog I wrote about Lasagna Gardens back in the day with Bill Way. 2009 Or so I believe. Bill was a HUGE Lasagna Gardener đ Enjoy –
âMy friend, Bill Way, turned me onto this idea of simple, organic style gardening and I think it is really catching on here in my neck of the woods. Itâs not a new idea really, just a cool take on an old one⊠Best thing is, IT WORKS! Below is a very simple breakdown on âHow Toâ make your own Lasagna Garden⊠ENJOY!
Thereâs no hard and fast rules about what to use for your layers, just so long as itâs organic and doesnât contain any protein (fat, meat, or bone). Just as with an edible lasagna, there is some importance to the methods you use to build your lasagna garden âLayersâ. Youâll want to alternate layers of âbrownsâ such as fall leaves, shredded newspaper, peat, and pine needles with layers of âgreensâ such as vegetable scraps, garden trimmings, and grass clippings. In general, you want your âbrownâ layers to be about twice as deep as your âgreenâ layers, but thereâs no need to get too picky about this. Just layer browns and greens, and a lasagna garden will result. What you want at the end of your layering process is a two-foot tall layered bed. Youâll be amazed at how much this will shrink down in a few short weeks.
Lasagna gardens are a bit less work than a conventional garden. And they are a great way to get rid of grass clippings and leaves đ
â The basics of making garden lasagnas are simple:
â Donât remove the sod or do any extra work, like removing weeds or rocks.
â Mark the area for your garden using a water hose or a long rope to get the desired shape.
â Cover the area youâve marked with wet newspapers, overlapping the edges (5 or more sheets per layer).
â Cover the paper with one to two inches of peat moss or other organic material.
â Layer several inches of organic material on top of the peat moss.
â Continue to alternate layers of peat moss and organic material, until desired thickness is reached.
â Water until the garden is the consistency of a damp sponge.
â Plant, plant, plant and mulch, mulch, mulch.
 Ingredients For A Lasagna Garden
 Anything youâd put in a compost pile, you can put into a lasagna garden. The materials you put into the garden will break down, providing nutrient-rich, crumbly soil in which to plant. The following materials are all perfect for lasagna gardens:
 Grass Clippings
 Leaves
 Fruit and Vegetable Scraps
 Coffee Grounds
 Tea leaves and tea bags
 Weeds (if they havenât gone to seed)
 Manure
 Compost
 Seaweed
 Shredded newspaper or junk mail
 Pine needles
 Spent blooms, trimmings from the garden
 Peat moss
 Straw
 Hay
If itâs too late in the season this year for you to start one, there is a whole summer of grass clippings and veg. scraps to get started with and FALL is coming with tons of leaves to use! With all this FREE organic material at your fingertips, that you have to dispose of anyway, put it too good use! You wonât regret it!
 Hereâs to the Life Abundant!

IF your wondering what Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is… Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a natural product made of the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. D.E. easily crumbles to a fine powder and is used for many purposes from high end skin care products, to water purification, to farming & parasite/insect control. We can even use it to control internal parasites in our own bodies!
We use and sell Diatomaceous Earth at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee | Call for curbside pickup 731-424-2206
I personally use it to kill/control fleas, ticks & ants around my home and on my pets. I also use it to worm my dogs and cats! Itâs even a great organic insect dust that I use in my vegetable garden! The good stuff, as pictured above, is organic and food grade!
Anytime I can turn someone on to a useful, organic product is a good day! If you haven’t tried it yourself, give us a call 731-424-2206, We will fix you up đ itâs inexpensive, organic and most importantly- It Works!
Have a great day!
