Garden Products
It takes more than plants to maintain a healthy garden.
B.B. Barns continues to embrace sustainable, organic gardening techniques and products for the long term health of your garden. From locally sourced composts, mulches and soil amendments, to water-wise and environmentally friendly gardening accessories, B.B. Barns is your source for the finest garden products.
Soil Amendments, Pest Control & Fertilizers
We are proud to carry a locally sourced line of soil amendments. Daddy Pete's Plant Pleaser is a full line of composted manures, soil conditioners and mulches from a farm in Stony Point, North Carolina. These products are essential when planting in the clay soils of the southern mountains to provide aeration and nutritive material. We also carry the Fafard line of potting soils, which offer the perfect mix of moisture retention and free drainage in any potting soil we have tried.
Our pest control options are also heavily focused on organic and sustainable products. The Safer line of insecticidal soaps, along with other non-toxic products make success in the organic garden a reality. And don't forget that our knowledgeable sales team is always available to answer any questions you may have.
The backbone of our many choices for fertilizers is the Espoma line of products. Espoma offers a range of natural and organic fertilizers that offer a rich blend of macro and micro nutrients. Add to this a great selection of kelp, fish emulsion and other products, and you are sure to have great growth and healthy plants.
Garden Tools
Experienced gardeners know that having the right tools can make the job easier and more fun. Quality pruners, for example, are not only more comfortable, they also cut through branches cleaner and with less damage to the plant. And the right rake can be the difference between a finished job and a sore back. We carry many styles of pruners and tools, including the Felco line of pruners and hand saws. We like them so much at B.B. Barns, you are bound to see us using them or wearing them on our hips as we cruise the nursery yard.

Watering & Composting Supplies
A great deal of attention has been given to watering these days - and for good reason. Proper watering will not only promote a strong healthy plant, it can also save a lot of money. A properly watered plant is more likely to survive. As we all strive to be more water conscious in the garden, B.B. Barns is committed to providing durable rain collection devices, and efficient watering tools. To help you accomplish these two goals, we have telescoping wands, sprayer guns, coiled hoses, watering cans with long, agile spouts in a variety of colors and other top water-saving products.
We also carry tumbling and free standing compost bins, along with starter products providing the micro organisms that bring your compost bin to life. With the average household producing more than enough organic waste material to supply your garden's compost needs, there is no better time to start composting with B.B. Barns by your side.
