Did You Know?
At Countrybrook Farms, we believe that the best gardens start with the right knowledge. Whether you’re caring for your landscape during a summer heat wave, planting new shrubs, or looking for products that make gardening easier, a few helpful tips can go a long way.
Each month, we’ll feature some of our favorite products and plants along with expert advice to help you get the most out of your garden. You might even discover a few things you didn’t know!
Take a look at this month’s featured products and see how they can help your landscape thrive all summer long.
Water Smarter During Summer
Water early in the morning for the best water retention. Cooler morning temperatures reduce evaporation and give plants time to absorb moisture before the hottest part of the day.
Water deeply and less frequently to encourage stronger, deeper root systems. Apply water at the soil level whenever possible to reduce waste and help keep foliage dry.
Mulching is also one of the best ways to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Countrybrook Farms carries bagged mulch and bulk mulch by the yard—and we deliver!
Essential Watering & Moisture-Retention Products

Dramm Hoses
Did You Know?
A quality garden hose can make watering easier and more enjoyable. Dramm Hoses are designed to resist kinks while remaining lightweight and flexible, even during hot summer weather. Their durable construction helps deliver reliable performance season after season.

Dramm Rain Wands
Did You Know?
Rain Wands provide a gentle shower that’s ideal for flowers, hanging baskets, containers, and newly planted shrubs. Their soft watering pattern protects delicate blooms while allowing moisture to soak slowly into the soil where it’s needed most.

Dramm Sprinklers
Did You Know?
Deep, even watering encourages stronger root systems and healthier lawns and gardens. Dramm Sprinklers are designed to distribute water evenly, helping reduce dry spots while maximizing watering efficiency.

Soaker Hoses
Did You Know?
Soaker hoses slowly release water directly into the soil, delivering moisture exactly where plant roots need it. This helps reduce evaporation, conserve water, and keep foliage dry, making them an excellent choice for flower beds, vegetable gardens, and landscape borders.

Dew Right Tree Bags
Did You Know?
Newly planted trees need slow, consistent watering to establish healthy root systems. Dew Right Tree Bags gradually release water over several hours, helping eliminate runoff while providing deep root hydration during periods of hot, dry weather.

Watering Cans
Did You Know?
Watering cans provide greater control than a garden hose, making them ideal for container gardens, seedlings, hanging baskets, and indoor plants. A gentle watering stream helps prevent soil disturbance while ensuring plants receive the moisture they need.

Soil Moist
Did You Know?
Soil Moist crystals absorb water and slowly release it back into the soil as plants need it. They’re especially effective in containers, hanging baskets, and newly planted landscapes, helping reduce watering frequency while keeping plants hydrated during summer heat.

Bagged & Bulk Mulch
Did You Know?
A 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch helps reduce evaporation, retain consistent soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep mulch a few inches away from trunks and plant stems to avoid excess moisture buildup.
Available by the bag or by the yard. Delivery is available!
Planting Tips for Stronger Roots

Bio-tone Starter Plus
Did You Know?
New plantings need strong roots to become established. Use Bio-tone Starter Plus and a root stimulator at planting time to encourage new root growth, reduce transplant stress, and help trees, shrubs, and perennials settle into their new location.

Proper Planting
Did You Know?
Dig the planting hole wider—but no deeper—than the root ball, position the plant at the correct soil level, backfill carefully, and water thoroughly. Finish with mulch to retain moisture, but avoid piling mulch against the trunk or crown.
Fertilizers & Garden Solutions

Premium Bedding Plant Food
Did You Know?
Flowering annuals, hanging baskets, and container gardens use nutrients much faster during the summer than they do in the spring. Regular feeding every one to two weeks helps encourage continuous blooms, stronger root development, richer color, and healthier plants throughout the growing season. If your flowers seem to have slowed down, they may simply need a fresh supply of nutrients.
Now through July, save on Premium Bedding Plant Food while supplies last.

Brush & Stump Killer
Did You Know?
