Electric Lawn & Landscape Edger


This Black and Decker Landscape Edger is an incredible bit of technology. Improvements in electrical appliance technology and in ball bearing and technology in general are providing electrical solutions to old landscaping problems by the dozen. Dealing with gas mixes and carburetors can be time-consuming and far too complex for most homeowners and even professionals in the long run. What newer technologies offer is a unit such as this which pumps out 2.25 HP from a simple electrical outlet. This implies a hard-working and most durable metallic blade which can cut through overgrowth and messy edges like nobody's business. Like the electrical chain saws and weed-eaters now available on the market, these appliances make work at home far quieter and much less messy, and without the polluting fossil fuel - based machine work. This comes in vsarious sizes but this one may very well be the best, depending on the application of a reasonable sized home. This one will last for years.

Plastair 25'- 50' - 75' Spring Hose



The Plastair Spring Hose comes in a variety of lengths and is one of the greatest ideas ever. Lightweight, yet far more durable than the standard garden hoses, the Spring Hose is an idea whose time has come. Its light weight removes the fatigue-factor from hosing things down and provides an easy-storage hose that is simple to hook up and as easy to operate.

This is a polyurethane coiled water hose that is extremely flexible, lightweight, compact, it is UV resistant and comes with a lifetime warranty. A great alternative to standard rubber & PVC water hoses for use in lawn & garden, marine, and RVs. In the end, it completely eliminates the use of a hose reel.

Mini Indoor Gardening Set


The Rumford Gardener Mini Idoor garden Set is an well-needed item for anyone who has abundant indoor plantings to maintain and care for. As a person with large hands and who tries - often - to use large tools for indoor tasks, believe me when I say there are times when smaller tools are called for. My history has me breaking any wild number of vases and plastic thingies, let me put it that way. A more delicate touch is required indoors. This little set is perfect for such small endeavors, as numerous as they may be. Nothing here is on the over-built side of rustic but monstrous toolage. Believe me when i mention size matters. In this case, smaller is much, much better.

Folding Pruning Saw


This Silky Folding Landscaping Saw I recommend because I have used it. Folding pruning saws are fairly common and one can easily pick one up down at Home Depot or somewhere for a one time use for a bit less money. My experience with this one, however is something more than memorable. Somehow, the formation and manufacture of the teeth on this saw make its cutting time far faster than even the best other brands. These saws can universally surprise anyone who takes on limbs and branches with even the most average one's ability to quickly slice through wood. They are simply fairly stunning, even at their worst. But what this saw did for me - who had used them for decades - was not only surprise me with the speed of the cutting, but the sheer durability of the unit itself. And not only that, but the handle fits a hand with stunningly more comfort. It's hard to aver that someone should spend something extra on something they may only need to use a few times. But for anyone who has repeated journeys up into trees for purposes of pruning, there is no other saw I could possibly recommend more.

Electric Landscape Edger

This Black and Decker Electric Landscape Edger is just like what the professionals use - metal blade and all - but it comes at a stunningly fair price and without the ultra-power of the machine driven ones. At the same time, this item has plenty of Oomph to do the job for a single homeowner and represents yet another very cool movement towards quieter, cleaner and less dangerous equipment for the average Joe like us. What many people tend to overlook is the power electricity delivers. In terms of sheer torque, this one rivals gas-powered units. It is far cleaner to operate, has fewer parts to go South and it still represents the best possible way to edge lawns and sidewalk edges. This is a heck of a little machine.

Garden Hopper Mobile Garden Stool and Storage


This Mobile Garden Stool And Storage device is not funny. I know, I know, I can hear the questions already: "Why on Earth is this even here, posed by a supposed serious landscaper and gardener?" Well, it's an easy answer to anyone who knows the field. Bending over gets exhausting. Standing up, bending over, sitting down - repeatedly, in just about that order - are even more exhausting. From working inside irrigation boxes to weeding and planting bulbs, from installing lighting systems to dealing with wet ground on the rear end of pants - these factors all contribute to a longing for just this unit. It carries around my 250 pound friend with no problem, scooting across grass and dirt at the typical glacial speed we gardeners operate at. It also gives a spot to leave a cell phone, tools, parts, gizmo's and the likes without picking them all up and scooting them, along with ourselves, to our next destination. Honestly, the height of this is ideal as is the concept itself. Frankly, I cannot recommend this tidy little unit higher.

High-Powered Electric Snow Blower


This amazing Electric Snow Blower has actually been oin the market for quite a while. It actually runs at more RPM than gas-powered models and no one needs convincing that electrical appliances are far less smelly, less polluting and less prone to breakdown than any gasoline-powered anything. What's most interesting about this model is it's power. It can definitely fling some snow. Yes, it does have some limitations - predictably those relate to the overall amount of snow. The cord does have to be drug around but most people claim to clean off driveways of 30-50 feet two cars wide in less than a half hour. Make no mistake, under a foot of snow, this works as well as any unit in its class. A friend of mine has had one now for 4 years and he loves it. 25 pounds of snow blowing power is nothing to sneeze at. Plus, it's clean!
