<h1>Preparing the Garden</h1> <p>This is Yard Rescuers and we&rsquo;re going to teach these neighbours how to get the lawns and gardens they&rsquo;ve always wanted, so join us to see how we can bring these yards back to life in just a few easy steps with help from the latest Scotts and Miracle-Gro products.</p> <p>On this episode of Yard Rescuers, we&rsquo;ll help Shannon get started on her flower garden, turning her hard-packed soil into a fertile foundation for her plants to thrive.</p> <p>What do you want to do with your garden this year? Chris, I would love to have a flower garden, but honestly, I find my flowers just do not grow here.</p> <p>Have you ever replaced or added soil to your garden? No, I haven&rsquo;t. Let&rsquo;s take a closer look. You have such a great space here. &nbsp;You&rsquo;re getting plenty of sunlight and it&rsquo;s out of the wind, and that leaves us with soil quality as the culprit, and the key to every great garden is great soil. &nbsp;And you want a light, nutrient-rich foundation that will nurture your new plants and flowers. &nbsp;We have some great Miracle-Gro products that will help you get started. &nbsp;Let&rsquo;s go take a look.</p> <p>Alright, Shannon. &nbsp;Here we have Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Garden Soil, and this stuff is great. &nbsp;It improves soil structure while adding back organic matter to create a fertile foundation for your plants to thrive. &nbsp;It also prevents over- and under-watering by absorbing up to 25% more water than regular soil and releases it to plants when they need it. It even has Miracle-Gro Plant Food to feed your garden for up to three months. &nbsp;And to ease your plants&rsquo; transition into their new home, we also have Miracle-Gro Quick Start. &nbsp;This will stimulate your plants&rsquo; roots and helps avoid transplant shock, which can shorten the lives of young plants. And we don&rsquo;t want that.</p> <p>So you want to use this for your first few waterings to give them a healthy start. &nbsp;Are you ready to get planting? Absolutely. Wow, Shannon, that is looking amazing. &nbsp;I&rsquo;m so proud of you. Thanks, Chris. &nbsp;I am so happy with the way it turned out. And now that you have a light, nutrient-rich soil foundation, you&rsquo;re going to see some big results this summer.</p> <p>Well, that&rsquo;s it for this episode. &nbsp;For more great lawn and garden tips, visit Scotts.ca.</p> <div><br /></div>
