GrowTech KNKDA1S Hori Hori Knife Review


A very useful tool for getting to the 'root' of the problem. If you are having trouble deciding between stainless steel and carbon steel go with the carbon option. I got the stainless version and still expect to get much use [many years] from it even though I bent it while weeding near a concrete walkway.

Don't be surprised how much this looks like a hunting or survival knife :)

With some practice you'll soon be scoring roots 6" and longer. Get more detail about GrowTech KNKDA1S Hori Hori Knife.

Bird-X SE-PAC Scare Eye Balloon, 3-Pack


We have a couple lychee and longan trees in our yard that the blackbirds used to raid like a swarm of locusts. We tried cd's, pie plates, sling shots (never hit any), plastic owl, nothing worked. So this year I went online looking for something cheap that might help. I saw this thing and the reviews were good so I bought one. All it is , is a couple beachballs with eyes and a place to tie a string to. You get mylar strips in the package also. I took a 16' PVC pipe and put a 90 degree elbow on the end and a 24" piece sticking out and tied the thing to it. Then I took a few large cable ties and attached the pipe to the tree so the thing hangs a little above the tree top. The flimsiness of the PVC gives it a little extra sway. The blackbirds would not even land in the yard for the first week, and after that, the closest they ever got was a couple trees away, where they all just looked at it while complaining loudly. It really did work well on the blackbirds, however apparently bluejays have nads of steel, as they couldn't have cared less if it was there or not. Luckily there aren't that many of them here.

Where To Buy Dial #97218 18CT Combat Roach Bait


I live in an apartment and have had problems with roaches. I bought stuff at the dollar store and nothing ever worked. I got Combat and *poof* they're dead. This is a quality product that will destroy your roach problem. I sound like a commercial for them, but it's true. Look at other Combat products and see their reviews. This stuff is a miracle. I recommend it 100%. This or their gel is like a Nuclear Bomb for roaches. The gel stains though, so I like these a bit better. Amazing!!!Get more detail about Dial #97218 18CT Combat Roach Bait.

Purchase Gilmour 2000P Premium Traditional Sprayer 2 Gallon Teal


Nice sturdy product. Find it a bit dificult to mix properly without being able to see liquid level through container. I now understand why so many have a clear plastic or at least a clear window to help with measuring. I guess one of my products I use (a powder mix) got too thick for the unit, so I had to clean it out, a full dis-assembly was tough and involved a bit of cutting and fugazi re assembly!!lol. I guess for $33 I expected a little bit more, live and learn. Not totally disappointed, not totally not either.Get more detail about Gilmour 2000P Premium Traditional Sprayer 2 Gallon Teal.

Buying Poulan PP5000P Pro Pole Pruner String Trimmer Attachment


Most amazing. Got it, put the oil in that they sent with it. And started lopping limbs. Absolutely works as advertised. From opening the box to lopping limbs, 10 minutes. Only because it was my first time.

Update 11/13/2009: Neighbor had a 20-25' juniper leaning over our mutual fence after a storm. Was right over wife's Mantis composer (very expensive) and my wood chipper (moderately so). If the fence had not been there it would has crushed both. As it was, it was in a very precarious position and if the fence collapsed or the root ball came more out of the ground, the same thing would have happened. So, hanging over composter about at the 12' height were the parallel trunks of this tree. Both about 6" thru the middle. I cut about 4 feet off of both almost standing on tip toes. Sliced thru it like butter. Had to duck and cover, but each 2 - 3' section after that came down very easily. After the part hanging over the fence was cut away, we moved to the other side and finished with my 16" Husqvarna.

This thing is NOT a toy. I had no idea when I ordered it I would use it so extensively so soon. But I have no idea how I would have done this without it. Probably would have had to hire someone for large bucks.

I highly recommend this pole chain saw. The whole Poulan package works exceeding well. Period. Price not withstanding, it is a GREAT deal.

Cheapest Oregon 511AX Saw Chain Bench Grinder/Sharpener

Recommend highly if you like your chains as accurate as can be done at home.

Cheap Bonide Bt Thuricide 8-Ounce Worm Killer and Gnat Control


This product is NOT effective against Fungus Gnats. Used it weekly for five weeks. Successive generations of gnats continue to emerge.
The bottle labeling mentions various pests, but omits fungus gnats, so the above should be no surprise.
It appears to have the incorrect subspecies of Bacillus thuringiensis. The israelensis ssp. is the one which targets the fungus gnat, not the kurstaki ssp. found in this products. Since liquid Gnatrol is no longer available, the only thing that worked for me was adding about an inch of sand above the soil to prevent both the female fungus gnat from laying her eggs and the adults emerging.
I hope this helps.Get more detail about Bonide Bt Thuricide 8-Ounce Worm Killer and Gnat Control.

Low Price Earthwise 50118 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Side Discharge/Mulching Lawn Mower


I got this lawn mower for an average size yard and I was really surprised at how easily it handled. It did not make a lot of noise like some of the gas mowers and was easy to push around the yard. The only problem I had and it actually might have been the orange extension cord I was using but it kept coming out of the outlet for the mower. I would definately recommend.Get more detail about Earthwise 50118 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Side Discharge/Mulching Lawn Mower.

Hobart 770440 Premium Form Fitted Welding Gloves Right now


These gloves are very comfortable and have saved my hands countless times. As they accumulate wear, however, the leather warps a bit and the gloves get a little stiff in the smaller digits. This can probably be expected of most gloves, but overall, a great purchase.Get more detail about Hobart 770440 Premium Form Fitted Welding Gloves.

Karcher 9.558-111.0 Pressure Washer All Purpose Cleaner SoapPac - 12 Pack Decide Now


I am not going to go into a lot of detail but all in all this unit works great. I know that many individuals will tell you to purchase a more powerful gas unit but 9 times out of 10 this unit will do the job. The adjustable wand is super.....don't purchase one where you have to change wands. I would not recommend that you purchase the wand extension (unfortunately, I did) because it is just too hard to hold and control with the extra length. Again, a great unit for the money.Get more detail about Karcher 9.558-111.0 Pressure Washer All Purpose Cleaner SoapPac - 12 Pack.
