Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader – 5 Star Review

Very nice, bigger and better than my original drop spreader. Seems to hold a lot more and has arrows in the plastic, so that all you do lines up with the arrows in the green plastic with the wheel marks you just made in the grass and you don't miss or overlap. Perfect results every time. - Bruce

Snow Joe SJ618E Electric Single Stage Snow Thrower – 5 Star Review

The Snow Joe arrived on Friday and Mother Nature gave us snow here in Southwest Virginia on Saturday night into Sunday. Low side 10 inches and mostly 15 to 18 inches. Connected the unit to a 12 wire 50 foot extension cord and gave it a try. Frankly, I had my concerns regarding the little unit's ability to do the job. Going slowly, forward [...]

Mosthink LED Plant Light Strips – 5 Star Review

I'll preface this by saying I know absolutely nothing about grow lights, but at this price it was a good place to start. I've been using them for a month now and my plants have grown like crazy! I'm honestly really surprised, I just wanted something that kept them from dying this winter. I didn't expect them to like it so much. Down side [...]

Alvada Merino Wool Hiking Socks – 5 Star Review

I have this amazing natural ability to soak through socks and shoes in 30 minutes. Don't be jealous. I have been looking for socks to help with this issue and have tried just about everything, including wool, cotton, Under Armor, Copper, Synthetic, dress socks under wool socks. I have tried all types of foot wear also, tennis shoes, running shoes, hiking shoes and boots. [...]

AeroGarden Harvest-Black Indoor Hydroponic Garden – 5 Star Review

I got this as a birthday present for my husband, the classic man who's impossible to buy for, and he was thrilled with it. He's a by the numbers kind of guy, and followed the directions carefully. As a result, all 6 of the herbs have germinated, and we are already using some of them, basil, thyme and dill, only 3 weeks later. Just [...]

40 Assorted Vegetable & Herb Seeds – 5 Star Review

I was really skeptical about the quality of these seeds, given the price and variety. They contain more seeds per pack than most of those sold for more money at local stores, including the big box places with garden centers. We planted some in peat cups with potting soil soon after they arrived, and the germination rate was very high. There's an excellent variety [...]

BAXIA TECHNOLOGY BX-SL-101 Solar Lights – 5 Star Review

These solar lights are simple to install and work great. We installed them on trees outside a rental property and it took my husband only a few minutes to screw each one in place. I recommend peeling off the film over the solar part and placing them in the sun for a day first. Then you need to use the enclosed pin to push [...]

Masterbuilt MB20071117 Digital Electric Smoker – 5 Star Review

With a few minor adjustments this smoker is perfect. First I took the chip tray rack out to let it sit directly on the coils. I flipped a bracket that is over top of the heating element and put it below. Lastly I drilled about 12 very small holes in the chip tray. After making these adjustments this thing started rolling out smoke. I [...]

Kootek Camping Hammock Double and Single Portable Hammocks – 5 Star Review

I was a little skeptical of the quality of this hammock for the price, but I ordered it anyways since my old one ripped and I had an upcoming camping trip. I was totally impressed when it came in the mail! I got the double nest size. It was even roomier and comfier than I thought it would be. It also came with straps. [...]
