Gardeners, green thumbs are eagerly awaiting the oppotunity to get ...
Green grass and robins have homeowners swapping snow shovels for hoes. The skill- or time-strapped ones just grab the phone and call a landscaper. Anyone who hasn't made an appointment may have to wait awhile. Local landscaping companies have already taken a deluge of requests for new lawns, decorative stone and outdoor rooms. Recent cold temperatures haven't fazed customers, said Dan Patin, owner of Horticultural Specialties Service, N6708 Triple T Road, Mount Calvary. "The weather didn't really help, but the work is there," Patin said. Before the cold spell arrived, most Wisconsin cities had several record-setting warm days, with highs reaching into the 60s and 70s. At Stuart's Landscaping & Garden Center, N7820 Lakeshore Drive, those few days were all it took.

You gotta get it!
Homemade compost is the surest way to get necessary nutrients into soil so it yields bigger and better flowering geraniums and juicy tomatoes. Composting is simplified when you use the Tumbleweed Compost Tumbler, which scored 8.9 out of 10 points in tests by members of the National Home Gardening Club. To use the composter, place shredded leaves, grass clippings and kitchen scraps - no meat or grease drippings to attract unwanted critters - into the bin. Spin it daily to produce dark brown, organic compost that you work into new or existing plantings. You can also apply a thin layer of compost around plants, a technique called "top dressing." The compact 58-gallon, 22-pound Tumbleweed assembles in 10 to 15 minutes, requiring only your hands and a screwdriver. It features twist-lock animal-resistant lids and built-in vents to let rain water drain easily.
