Winter, Winter Go AWAY!

It wasn't that long ago, when you looked out our front door all you could see was SNOW. Now I understand we live in Minnesota so snow is common. However, we were so spoiled last year with the super short winter, early spring, and hot summer. March is one of those months that can go either way. This year I would have just liked to see some grass before Easter. This also doesn't quite help the fertilizer sales either.

At Pellicci Ace Hardware, our number one seller is the Scotts 4-step fertilizer. You will notice in the picture below, that we have the snap easy to use spreader that has the fertilizer bags all ready to go and super easy to use. We also have the 'good ol' fashion fertilizer bags. Both options are awesome because you are using great products. But if you know a whole lot about fertilizer you know that our window for step 1 is slowly closing. Here is a little information about Scotts 4-Step Lawn Fertilizer:
