Prep Your Yard For Spring with Scotts Florida Select Natural Eucalyptus Mulch

May 2, 2013 by Nicole 9 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Warm weather has arrived and our grass is finally starting to grow greener! I have been looking around at pictures of pretty gardens to get some “Yard-spiration” for my own garden areas. What do you think of these beautiful yards?

I especially love the tiny blue flowers as the ground cover!

The vibrant color of these flowers is Ah-Mazing!

I have always wanted to plant Hydrangeas in my yard. Maybe this is the year I do it!

Your yard is waiting for you to make it beautiful this Spring! It does not take a lot to give your yard a quick jumpstart. However, to make things easier on yourself, you will need to gather a few must have gardening supplies:

  • Plants. Be sure to pick plants that will grow in your zone of the country.
  • Gardening Gloves. They will protect your hands.
  • Shovel. It makes digging holes in the dirt a lot easier!
  • Wheelbarrow. You’ll be amazed at how useful a wheelbarrow can be for all your yardwork!
  • Scotts Florida Select Natural Eucalyptus Mulch

Why use mulch?

Mulch helps to maintain moisture, prevent weeds, and created a groomed landscape all year long! Spend a little time mulching your yard this Spring and sit back, relax and enjoy the rewards! Scotts Florida Select Natural Eucalyptus Mulch is perfect for your sustainable gardening needs. It is made from 100% Florida Grown Eucalyptus that is sustainably grown and harvested. Plus, a 3-inch layer naturally prevents weeds by blocking growth and access to sunlight.

Where To Use: Apply around trees, shrubs, vegetables or flowers after seeds have germinated and plants have developed.

Where NOT To Use: Do no apply before seeds have germinated, around underdeveloped plants or within several inches of house foundations and other wood surfaces.

What Mulch Should You Use If You Live Outside of Florida? 

If you are non-Florida reader, there’s great news for your gardens, too! Try Scotts Nature Scapes mulch for your landscaping needs this Spring. They are natural forest products and come in a variety of colors and textures. Color choices include: Classic Black, Sierra Red and Deep Forest Brown.

We currently have black mulch in our yard, and I really like the contrast it provides with the light color of our house. Which color of Scotts Nature Scapes mulch would look best in your yard? Let me know in the comments.

    I am getting some mulch this weekend to spruce up the front yard. It really needs it because it looks bad after the winter. This is really good mulch!

    Some day I would like to try planting something either flowers or a garden, I have no idea if I have a green thumb or not. I’ve heard of the Scots brand before, I’m sure these would be great products to help your garden or flowers grow.

    My daughter has been working on our yard and has purchased many beautiful plants and trees, some potted trees for patio. Mulch is the next thing on her list. I best let her know to make sure to keep that mulch away from the home. I don’t believe she knows that. Thanks for reviewing

    Those ARE gorgeous flowers! Wish I had a garden so I could try the Ecualyptus mulch, which I never heard of!

    OMG ~ don’t you just love the smell of fresh mulch! It is awesome! Some years I know we have purchased over a hundred bags or so. You always need more than you think. Yes it can be cheaper to buy it bulk and have it dumped, but we are to old to shovel a heap of heavy mulch! We love Scott’s!!

    My husband uses Scott’s all of the time. I would love to use Scotts Florida Select Natural Eucalyptus Mulch. I can imagine the fragrance would be wonderful. However, I don’t live in Florida. But the other Scott’s mulch will do just fine.
