Garden and lawn care

Smart: Don't hesitate to go for garden center leftovers. Annuals and perennials are likely root-bound by now, leaving you free to negotiate a lower price. Many plants can be given a makeover with this quick fix from Craig Cramer of Cornell University's horticulture department: Turn the root ball upside down and use a knife to cut an X halfway up into the soil. Spread the four flaps and plant in well-prepared soil or potting mix. Then cut off the flowers and cut back the stems by about one-third to encourage the plant to take root faster. Water frequently.

Smarter: Save on gardening and lawn-care supplies at sites such as GardenBargainsOnline.com, a clearinghouse for coupons, discounts, free shipping and other special offers at nursery and garden product companies. A $27.99 neoprene garden tote, for example, was recently on sale for $19.99. Gardeners.com also offers good prices on overstock items. Be sure to check often for the best deals.

Smartest: Consider low- or no-cost alternatives. Instead of expensive landscaping cloth, black plastic or mulch, use sheets of old newspaper covered with a layer of soil to prevent weeds. And reuse packing peanuts in raised beds and containers instead of buying expensive, heavy crushed stone, says b gardening expert David Beaulieu.
