Also: Have you learned that your soil is acidic and now need an environmentally friendly solution?

In the Aisles of The Home Depot

Labor Day has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean the celebration — or the deals, for that matter — stop at The Home Depot. We caught up with our friend Danny Watson to let our viewers know that The Home Depot’s Labor Day Sale continues through Sept. 15!

Some of the top deals include four for $10 on select Mums, three for $10 garden soil, grills, RYOBI blowers, Hampton Bay fans, BEHR paint and so on. These items are great for preparing your home for fall and cooler weather.

Speaking of which, it’s that time again: to break out the firepit! And The Home Depot has a great selection like the Hampton Bay Piedmont 30 inch Steel Fire Pit. Its two-in-one design is great for staying warm and grilling out with family and friends.

You don’t want to miss these savings, so head to The Home Depot (or shop online) by Sept. 15!
