It’s the time of year when everybody gets a little pep in their step.

We have listened to our customers and BevoWorks is changing a few things that we believe will make is easier to search and find exactly what you are looking for.

It’s been almost two year since the website was launched and we had no idea at the time how big are product line would become and for how much we would be  asked to carry from our loyal customers. In an effort to carry more products without causing our customers more search hassles, we have had to change some things around.

For those of you who shop  with us a lot, you might find the site harder to search initially but we assure you that the search will ultimately be better and faster. However, as with all types of changes there will be some growing pains and a learning curve.  We respectfully ask for your patience as we move through the cart and rearrange the products and the structure. If ever you have a problem or suggestion, please call us at 888-400-BEVO and talk to us directly. We are here to help and the serve you, our valued customer.

Every spring I am amazed that one of the top complaints we hear is not having enough outdoor storage and it doesn’t matter if you have a small house or a large estate there never seems to be enough space for all of our things. While I might have lawn and garden tools another family may be looking for a way to store the teenager’s new car. We never know what your need is until you tell us.

At BevoWorks.com, we have a number of storage options and are always looking for more to carry in our online store. The current shed and garage selection includes plastic and vinyl as well as metal and they all come in various sizes in order to meet your families needs. If for some reason you don’t find what you are looking for on the website, please call us at 888-400-2386 and tell us what you are looking for because we just may know where you can find it.

Every year I cannot wait until March because it means that spring is right around the corner and I love spring! It’s when everything that was dead and gone starts to peak through the ground and you know it won’t be long before the grass is growing and the color of the next season breaks forth.

It’s also the best time to do some planning for your yard and garden needs as well as getting your equipment ready to use throughout the spring and summer months. Don’t forget to change out the oil and filter on your lawnmower as well as getting the blade sharpened. Making sure your equipment is ready to go now will save you some additional time to enjoy the beautiful weather when it arrives.

Every once in a while a product comes along that looks to change the way we actually do something and the Grow Camp just might be such a product. What I like most is they can be used in multiple ways and can be expanded as you grow. Let me explain.

You can use the basic raised bed of the Grow Camp and if you choose to, you can add the insect net to protect the beds, which is a great feature in a lot of places. But that’s not all. You can also add the greenhouse coverings and turn your raised bed into a greenhouse to grow whatever you want year round! Then on top of this you can add additional Grow Camps to make them as large as you need or want.

We’ve never seen anything quite like the Grow Camp and think you will find them extraordinarily perfect for many applications in your yard and garden.

Most of us think about the emotional reason winter is so good for spring; we all rejoice once spring runs old man winter out of our neighborhood! But there are some real good reasons for us to be appreciative when we have these cold winter months where the snows are deeper than normal.

The first thing that comes to mind is the killing off of bugs and insects that can get really bad in the spring and summer months if there is no natural kill off. Because we have animals that live in our house; two dogs and one cat, I appreciate any help to control fleas and ticks. Having a cold winter helps control those nasty critters along with others that can get out of control if there is no harsh months of weather.

The great thing about snow, other than it is fun to play in and the kids get out of school, is the way it helps rejuvenate the soil. Rain tends to wash or runoff thus never really giving the earth a good slow soaking. Because snow tends to melt slowly, it soaks into the earth with gusto giving it nutrients and a deep watering that can bring beautiful green springs and wonderful flowers and vegetation throughout the seasons.

So before you cuss the cold bitter weather, think again and give a little bit of thanks for things to come.

One of the most popular greenhouse kits on the market today are the ones made by Rion Greenhouses. They have several different sizes as well as types to meet the demand from a variety of households these days. Money for food can eventually be saved from having a greenhouse in your own backyard but it does take some time to get there after the initial outlay for the greenhouse and accessories.

Many people start out with a smaller greenhouse and work themselves up to a larger one as they can. However, one of the biggest complaints we hear from our customers is they wish they had bought a bigger greenhouse kit in the first place. However, you need to be comfortable with your purchase and your ability to to do greenhouse gardening before committing to a large greenhouse. If you have the skill and are ready then now is the time to buy!

Let’s face it, winter is the time when most people do not want to look at their yards. They are bare and ugly and shows everything that is wrong with your overall landscaping scheme and that’s exactly why you need to take a good long look at it when it is as its worse. It is like anything else; you need to see it at the bottom in order to get it back to where you want it to be. You can also look at it as a blank and open canvas ready for you to take the steps to get it back into shape for spring and summer.

There are also those who have a really hard time visualizing and designing an outdoor scheme that will work for them. If you are one of those people, don’t be afraid to hire someone who can help you with your vision and stay within your budget. There are plenty of companies that will work with you to get your yard in shape. Why don’t you pick up the phone and give someone a call today.

As soon as winter breaks and spring comes forth, you will want to start spending some quality time outside in the park, by a lake or river and in your own backyard. One way to make your yard a wonderful oasis is to invest in a pergola kit that comes pre-drilled and ready to install. It’s easy because my wife and I installed one in our backyard a couple of years ago.

We are now collecting arbors and trellises for the flower gardens and beds and for the vegetable garden we put in last spring. I’ve been doing a lot of reading about vertical gardening and arbors work really well to expand the space you have for plants since some of those plants grow up a trellis or arbor and leave room for others to grow out. I’ve seen some great examples of this type of growing and am anxious to get started. Unfortunately, old man winter is still hanging around but I’m going to be ready!

If you have never had a compost pile or thought about how to restore the soil in your garden, you might want to start saving your scraps from fruits and vegetables to put out in a pile with some dirt, leaves, sticks and other natural “brown” material to mix up and create some really rich and useful soil. It easy to do in your backyard or you can buy a compostor to help you make your own soil.

The main thing to remember is to not use any animal product scraps and to have twice the “brown” material than the food scraps. One of the ways I make sure I have enough brown is to put the dry leaves in the yard and add that to the mix each year. You will need to turn it and mix it well. Some of the barrel compostors make this an easy task but it can be done with a pitchfork in an open area.
