Comments:  Leaf scoops are the best - you don't have to get your hands dirty. We have a lot of different animals in our yard and we tend to find things they leave behind. Knowing that we won't have to touch it with our hands is comforting. Thanks for a great product.

Comments:  My husband and I are getting older and it's harder to lift heavy pot. I do alot of container gardening and have to move pot in and out of the house spring and fall and the Pot Lifter is really helpful. I'm really glad I bought it.

☺☺☺☺☺  Pot Lifter = Back Saver

From:  Florence, VT

Comments:  We use this device to move large potted plants, but I'm sure I'll find more uses for it. In a household run by two humans with bad backs (and cats who don't seem inclined to help with lifting), the Pot Lifter is a useful tool.

 


icon This Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps icon is a natural solution for pesky fruit flies!

Unlike sticky, unsightly flypaper, these Fruit Fly Traps are enclosed in a tasteful, hand-carved Soapstone Box. The all-natural, non-toxic lures are simple to use, mess-free and safe around food. Flies are trapped out of sight. After a month you simply throw the trap away.

Best of all, the soapstone box can also hold potpourri or jewelry! Note: Natural soapstone will vary in color.  Dimensions are 4-1/2" x 4-3/4" x 2-3/8" H.

Comments:  After the problems I had last year I vowed I would buy it this year and give it a try. WOW. I can leave fruit out and it takes care of the flies that want to hang around. I go to the farmers market a lot and have fruits and vegetables all over the place. No fruit flies though! Thank you. My friends are using it now too.

arrived just in time after I had picked strawberries, blueberries and bought some bananas. So glad something works.

 


iconThis Citronella Rope Candle iconis the perfect candle for a delightful garden soirée.

Every guest is sure to admire this unusual candle. But it's more than a conversation piece since the wax coil contains 6% citronella oil, about twice the power found in most citronella candles. The thin coil ensures that all the wax is burned, and none goes to waste.  Burns for approximately 95 hours.

 

☺☺☺☺☺  Pretty ... And they work!

Comments:  This is a delightful conversation starter and keeps those pesky mosquitoes away as well. We have had our delightful "courting candle" for several summers and we still haven't use the second candle. This one was purchased as a gift for a friend who admired the unusual design.

Comments:  Such a beautiful candle for your outdoor entertaining that keeps the bugs at bay. A conversation piece that all my guests love.

 


iconThis odorless Green Stoneware Compost Crock iconadds style to your kitchen! No one will guess this handsome crock is collecting food scraps for composting, so you can keep it right on the kitchen counter. An activated charcoal filter in the lid traps odors, and it's dishwasher-safe, too. Made of glazed ceramic, the crock comes with 2 filters that last up to two months each. Generous one-gallon capacity.

 

☺☺☺☺☺  Great product

Reviewed on:  June 15, 2009

From:  Philadelphia

Comments:  The crock looks just like the photo and blends in nicely on our counter without screaming "compost!" The first charcoal filter I used (fits under the lid) got wet and moldy, so I am using none right now and there is no smell. don't know if the filters always get moldy or if it was just my cleaning the top and wetting it. I have loosely drapped a bit of plastic wrap over the top (which now has tiny open holes) to keep away fruit flies just in case. I will reinsert another filter; they are not especially expensive, I'm just testing without them until the weather gets very hot.

Comments:  Having the crock in the kitchen makes collection of scrapes so easy. Every couple of days it gets dumped into my garden composter. There is no odor when used with the filter.

iconThis Blossom Rain Gauge iconis cute and practical! There's a busy bee hovering over this daisy, and his job is about collecting rain, not honey. Attached to a natural cork float, he rises a little higher with each passing shower. A charming and functional accent for the garden and a hit with the kids. Hand-painted steel with a powder-coated steel stake. Tracks up to 4" of rainfall in 1/2" increments to make it easy to tell if you need to water your garden or not!

iconThis English Rain Barrel iconis a beautiful yet efficient way to collect rainwater.  In England, antique "dollies" or wash tubs have found a new purpose: collecting rainwater for the garden. This version has the charming design details of the original, including distinctive ribs that add strength as well as character. Plus, added features to make it easier to collect and use free rainwater.

Comments:  The new "granite" color lets this rain barrel settle into the background. The lid unlocks easily, facilitating a quick dip of the watering can. Screening on lid keeps leaves and bugs out.

 

☺☺☺☺☺  Love my Barrel

Comments:  My english rain barrel arrive promptly. I ordered the downspout diverter, which was shipped separately, so I had to wait to set it up. It arrived just in time for a good shower and it performed wonderfully. My only recommendation is to test the hose connection before the barrel is full of rain water as mine didn't seal well at first. I added one of the included hose valves, and it works great now.

 

☺☺☺☺☺  We love this!!
