NYP Corp. has proudly served America’s nursery growers with quality burlap, twine, shade clothes, and wire baskets. Wire baskets are commonly used by many nurseries to support a tree’s root ball. The question that lingers in the minds of many people, however, is whether the basket should be removed when planting, or even whether it should be used at all. Does the basket present harm for the tree? Or would stakes be better to use?

Many people’s experiences with sandbags revolve around flood control. They certainly do the job better than just about anything else available. Because they can be transported empty and filled on site, they can quickly reach areas with little else available or where heavy equipment can’t.
When filled, one person can easily carry and place a sandbag. With an interlocking stacking pattern, (Read our previous blog on How to Correctly Create a Sandbag Wall) sandbags create an excellent barrier to water. For flood control, they can be used to repair levies, create a barrier around a house, or simply block water from entering under doorways.

Established 93 years ago in St. Louis, Missouri, Great Western Bag processed burlap and burlap bags for feed mills, farmers and nurserymen across the Midwest. As demand grew from the emerging nursery industry; Great Western focused on the needs of nurserymen by providing a diverse and expanded line of growing and digging supplies.
In 1974 Great Western opened its second location in McMinnville, Tennessee operating as “Southwestern Nursery Supply”. In 1985, the McMinnville location introduced the patented “Superior” wire basket and commenced full scale basket production. The company further expanded its line of nursery products and changed its name to Great Western, for greater customer recognition between the Missouri and Tennessee locations.
During its years of growth, Great Western and NYP Corp maintained a close working relationship; supplying each other with quality products for Americas Nurserymen. The synergies between the businesses lead to the eventual acquisition of Great Western by NYP Corp in December 2010.
Operations in St. Louis and McMinnville will continue in their current locations, and will be managed by former Great Western employees. Check out our contact page for a complete map of all NYP locations.
This acquisition will offer new and existing customers of both companies an expanded product line and factory direct nursery burlap and wire baskets. And, as with all NYP operations, this welcomed addition will be operated with the same core values and principles that have made NYP the leader in factory direct wholesale nursery supplies.

The biggest enemy in a yard is weeds. These noxious plants grow prolifically and steal nutrients from grass, flowers, shrubs and other landscaping foliage. Weeds can be removed by uprooting them or spraying them with herbicides but neither method is a practical, long term solution. It may be impossible to pull up all weeds in a large yard and the chemicals in herbicides have been found to pollute groundwater.
