My man @johne
I do not have not found a dedicated supply store for just gardening supplies.
I keep my eye out at various ferreterías for the light duty stuff.
For specialized tools I import one then take it to my machine shop and have them copy it for me. It has worked out well so far.
Just a little slow.
I have not had the occasion to buy fertilizer.
As I have the facilities and means to make my own through composting.
One advantage here in the Dominican Republic is the the heat and humidity speeds the composting process.
You can make liquid based products in small quantities and you have the advantage of knowing exactly what you are putting onto you plants.

Try right clicking on the image on your PC, then right click on your reply box and click on paste.

That should work too.

Can you sharpen pruning shears at most ferreterias? If not, where could I go or would it just be better to buy a sharpening stone and do it myself. If the latter, would most ferreterias have a sharpening stone?

Thanks for any responses.

This morning we were do some transplanting. We needed to get a large cucumber plant carefully out of a black plastic container and into the soil. N o problem. He sliced the plastic container around the sides with his machete and lifted the plant out. :)
