This can be seen as a bit late or early enough to digest before the holiday rush. This is an article by Susan Harkins and Paula Mullins and published by The Kentucky Native Plant Society. Good on it's own. I'm hoping it sparks some additional discussion, updating, etc. Most of us have had similar discussions in various threads. Why not another? Anyway, enjoy...

All and any of the mentioned. my neighbor loves to garden but is sometimes a bit clueless. A set of her own pruners [like mine] would be just the thing for her Christmas stocking because she's always borrowing mine.

They are all great ideas! They said your friend will always remember your gift of bringing compost that you help to spread. No doubt. I bought it, but a few friends did help me spread a whole dump truck of mulch once and I definitely still remember, 25 yrs later.

A hose is definitely a great gift too. The one I want is $300. Somebody put me down for that! LOL!

I thought it was kind of weird that there was a pic of a mask for sale, but the article is from 2020. Other than that, I thought the info was fresh!

I need a dump truck load of mulch and a load of compost for out here. At least one each, maybe 2. If I wasn't trying to get my boat going for the first time in almost 20 years (was a gift to me last year, different states, different paperwork and now trailer and boat work) I would ask for that stuff but I'll stick with small stuff. I do have a good source for bulk mulch and now a source for bulk compost since we don't like our next door neighbors who have goats. I may make my dad go talk to him anyways. They burn their pile while I would make a couple bins out of pallets and let them break down.
