What Color
is Your Pool?

sun-burn shock treatment
How do you keep your swimming pool clear when the lakes around you are turning green? What color is your swimming pool? Pool problems are easy to fix if you understand how to achieve perfectly balanced and sanitized water. Peterson’s carries a broad assortment of high-quality water treatment chemicals including chlorine and bromine sanitizers along with algaecides for your pool or spa. Also visit our Do-It-Yourself library for instructional literature, including “A Home-owner’s Guide to Trouble-Free Pool, Spa, and Hot Tub Maintenance”.

 

 

 

New Wolf Garten Tools!


Save valuable storage space and cost. Peterson’s is proud to offer Wolf Garten’s patented multi-change range of handles and tool heads. The tool heads snap in and lock firmly, then release instantly when required—just like a car seatbelt. This unique system means you can use the same tool head for close work in garden beds or to reach the backs of borders with just a simple change of handle. With such a complete range of handles, you’ll avoid the pain of stooping and bending to perform almost any gardening task. Very convenient and an excellent value.

 

Peterson's grass seed mixes

Fall is the time to sow grass seed!

Peterson’s Sunny Mix and Shady Mix seeds are packaged specifically for local area soils. Apply 4 lbs. per 1000 square feet, water at least every three days until grass is established. Peterson’s also recommends fertilizing with 4-12-36 or 8-10-30 mixtures.

grilled meats and vegetables

Grilled Steamed Corn
1 dozen ears of corn

Place the corn, with the husks still on, in a pan of cold water. Leave them to soak for about 20 minutes. Remove the silks from the end of the ear, but do not pull the husks back. Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 20 minutes, approximately 10 minutes to a side. Once off the grill, let the ears cool a few minutes before shucking them. Serve with butter, salt and pepper. Yum!

Figi lawn ornaments

Figi Lawn ornaments are available with sturdy “step-stake” for easy installation.
