What are the best gardening tools?
It depends on what you are growing and how large you want your garden to be. We have tools for small flower window boxes up to large, high-yielding family fruit and vegetable gardens. We carry a wide variety of brands and products, and our staff will help you make sure you have everything you need.
How much does gardening cost?
You can build a garden with any budget. It all depends on how large or small of a garden you wish to construct and what crops you want to grow. Just like you can develop a garden virtually anywhere, our friendly and knowledgeable staff will help you determine what is best for your budget and space.
What soil should I use for my gardening?
We carry a wide variety of garden soils for various gardening needs. These include potting soil mixtures, garden soil for vegetables and herbs, organic raised bed soil mixtures, garden soil for flowers, moisture-control potting soil, compost, soil additives, fertilizers, and more, depending on what you are growing. Tell us what you are growing, and we will be happy to advise you on what soil you should be using for your garden.
What’s the difference between organic gardening and non-organic gardening?
Non-organic farming uses chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth, genetically modified seeds, synthetic pesticides to kill insects on or near plants, and synthetic herbicides to kill weeds. Organic gardening relies on crop rotation, natural insect or bird predators, traps, manure-based fertilizers, mulches, and naturally derived weedkillers to keep pests and weeds away from your crops.
We carry the gardening products and supplies you need for either type of gardening practice and are happy to assist you in deciding what is best for you and your family.
What garden plants are best for bees in our area?
Honey bees, solitary bees, and bumble bees are helpful in pollinating vegetable and fruit crops in your home garden, and they feed on a wide variety of flowering plants, both native and non-native to Montana. If you plant a wide variety of flowering plants (including vegetables and herbs), you will be supporting bees.
As far as native plants are concerned, in the spring, we recommend willows, maples, linden, serviceberry, dandelion, crocus, calendula, borage, chokecherry, pussy willow, and leadplant. In the fall, we recommend sedum, aster, Rocky Mountain bee plant, fireweed, goldenrod, Joe-Pye weed, rabbitbrush, snakeweed, blanket flower, and several native thistle species.
