Summertime Tips

Pools
Pools can be tons of backyard fun!

Above-ground pools have
become very popular as

they are usually easier to

install, easier to maintain,
faster to clean, require no
heating and best of all are
usually less expensive than
in-ground pools. Often own-
ers like to buy an above-
ground so that when their
children grow out of using
the pool every day they just
remove it! But that could be
after over 20 years of fun,
fun, fun!

Awnings
Care and Cleaning of
Awnings made with woven
acrylic fabrics. Brush off any
loose dirt, particles or
leaves; hose off and clean
with a mixture of water and
a mild, natural soap. Use a
soft brush or sponge.

‘ Thoroughly rinse with cold

water. Do not use deter-
gents! Allow fabric to air
dry. If heavy stain removal is
required, use a mixture of 4
oz. chlorine bleach, 2 oz. nat-

‘ural soap and 1 gallon

water; rinse thoroughly and

+ re-treat according to manu-

facturer’s recommendations.

Gardens
Tips for Hanging Baskets

For best results with your
summer hanging baskets
always keep them = well
watered and feed with a fer-
tilizer. We suggest our
Nurseryland 20-20-20 every
two weeks. Another recom-
mended product,“Soil Most”,
helps store water in the soil.
Great for vacationers.

When do | replace my burner?
When a burner is ready to

be replaced there will be Ry

holes in the upper surface
and along the sides of the
burner. A burner head in
this condition cannot do its
job evenly distributing the
burning propane. Instead,
the gas seeks the easiest
way out and the result is
flaring hot and cold spots
on the grill, and greater gas
consumption. Johnstone's
carries burners for all makes
and models - check us out!

| Patio Planters

Ornamental Planters and
Garden Accessories
Every year more and more
people are discovering the
beauty and versatility of
concrete planters, fountains
and statuary, both in natural
concrete finish or stained
and treated surfaces. Dis-
tinct from clay or ceramic
products concrete will not
chip, break or ‘spall’ due to
cold weather. Concrete,
unlike wood goods will last
for many years with little or
no maintenance and comes
in a myriad of colours and

finishes.

Reflective gazing globes,
popular at the turn of the
century are becoming very
prevalent in the last few
years. These mirror like
giobes are mounted on a
concrete stand or old tree
stump in the corner of your
garden, reflecting back to
the viewer the beauty of
your garden.
