WORX WG800.1 3.6 Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear/Hedge Trimmer Right now


I have had other types of trimmers and the batteries don't last so you end up either throwing them away or they sit for years. I like the fact that this trimmer has the Lithium - ion battery. It seems to last forever and its nice for trimming fine bushes. Not good on thick branches. The attachment change over is very easy. I wasn't impressed with the long attachment. The openings were to small for hedge trimming and they are not strong enough for big branches.Get more detail about WORX WG800.1 3.6 Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear/Hedge Trimmer.

Hand Garden 4 Prong Claw Fork Compost Turner Buy Now


The Hand Garden 4 Prong Claw Fork compost turner is perfect for doing my worm maintenance (covering their food, digging and checking general health, removing vermicompost and separting worms). It's a good size and really gentle on my worms. I read some complaints about it being $4.95 but requiring another $5 for shipping. I think that if you check for a well made smooth, light-weight claw at your gardening shop, it'll be about $10 plus. As my mom would say -- "six of one half-a-dozen of the other -- it's all the same."
I think it was worth the money. I recommend this.Get more detail about Hand Garden 4 Prong Claw Fork Compost Turner.

Weed Eater RTE112C 3.7 Amp 12-Inch Electric Trimmer Best Quality


I knew there was a problem when I order it( from reading the reviews). I thought it was the string shield that breaks but the problem is that the entire head rotates I think 90degrees ( its suppose to by pushing a button to unlock it then I re-locks in the new position). The locking device for the head rotation breaks . Mine developed a wobbly head in 20 minutes .
I have prime account so it arrived at my home for $17.91 . So if you are willing to preform a repair right out of the box it's worth the price . I would recommend installing a bolt through the shaft prior to locking the string guard on its (hell to get off later). You have to be careful not to drill through the wiring the runs through the handle's shaft. The string advance works by manually by pushing the head in and pulling out more string (it doesn't seem to work bumping it on the ground).

Xantrex Technologies 851-0401 XPower Plus 400-Watt Inverter Immediately


Good size, fan is not very noisy and other users indicate longivity with Xantrex products.

I have only used the unit two times; first to see if it worked via cigarette lighter, and second to hook up a Milwaukee Power tool charger for recharging a M18 Lithium-ion battery (Xantrex hooks directly to auto battery via clamps). Worked great!

With 320 continuous watts (400 surge) the unit had no problem meeting the requirements of the Milwaukee charger (300 continous watts). Before I purchased, I called Xantrex to get their opinion on the model and my application. They said it shoud handle it with no problem. It took less than 30 minutes to recharge a battery that was half discharged (M18 batteries have 4 indicator lights to let you know what's left). I watched it carefully to make sure nothing got hot since it was 97 degrees in the garage but the unit never indicated warm to hot air at the fan exhaust. It didn't drain the auto battery much during the 30 minutes.

Very Impressed ... a solid recommendation. Get more detail about Xantrex Technologies 851-0401 XPower Plus 400-Watt Inverter.

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.

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.
