Manual hand duster that’s perfect for diatomaceous earth

Using dry fertilizer can sometimes be sort of an ordeal. Spreading Diatomaceous Earth for example, can take a lot of time and care to ensure that the job gets done properly. However, with the purchase of a Manual Hand Duster, this process can become a little bit easier.

Lightweight and not bulky, this duster features a hand crank that allows an even flow of material over plants, lawns, trees, or even produce. Couple this hand duster with a 5 pound bag of diatomaceous earth, and you’ve got yourself a party. Diatomaceous earth is a natural pesticide that is safe for your friends, family, and pets. The two items combined are a winning combination. This way, you can rest assured that your lawn and garden will have that natural beauty, free of toxins and harmful chemical pesticides.

A naural way to kill weeds.

Prevent weeds from destroying your soil and your crops. Protect that which you have worked so hard to produce from the very start. By incorporating the use of the Weed Guard Plus, you can stop the spread of weeds right from the very start. The way it works is pretty simple: place the Weed Guard Plus down on the soil when you are planting. Cut holes in the material for any bulbs for anything you are going to lay down. It allows weeds not to be able to get a strong foothold in the soil, and will even boost your crop gain by up to 20%.

This product is also made from recycled cellulose fiber. This means that it eventually breaks down and does not release any harmful chemicals into the soil. In addition, since you only cut holes in the material for the plants/bulbs sunlight does not get to any other areas…thus further preventing the spread of weeds.

The Weed Guard Plus is a nice way to keep the beauty of your lawn and garden while still avoiding weed infestation. It breaks down without the aid of chemicals, and goes to the soil. All in all, it’s a positive situation.

Aerate that lawn or garden!

Proper aeration of your lawn is important. It’s a way to make sure your soil is receiving the proper nutrients and water. As a result, you will find that your lawn will maintain a healthier appearance, and will certainly be the envy of all those in the neighborhood.

There is a lawn aerating tool available that, constructed from durable steel, will last for ages. It is easy to use, just poke it in the ground, hold onto the handles, and stomp down. Easy enough. You will notice a healthier lawn in no time.

It’s perfect to make sure that your lawn looks as beautiful as your know it can look. With tools like this, it’s nice to know that all the work and effort you put in to your lawn and garden can be nicely rewarded.

Square raised bed planter for your lawn or garden

Looks can be deceiving. This planter appears to be made from granite. It’s not though. It’s all high density polyethylene. Therefore, this Square Raised Bed Planter is lightweight and can withstand harsh sunlight. It’s double coated, so it won’t chip, peel or crack.

Nobody likes to be messing with placing heavy granite bricks on top of one another all day. There are four interlocking modules included, and 18” spikes to nail this down to the ground. This planter can withstand a weight of up to 200 lbs as well, so you don’t have to be paranoid about people sitting on it.

Basically, it’s a wonderful addition to a lawn or garden, and it is a lot more convenient than going through the trouble of trying to find granite bricks, carrying them back to the house, carrying them back to the perfect spot in the yard, and then trying to get them set up in such a fashion that it looks perfect.

Triple Chamber Compost Bin

Have a continuous cycle of compost in your backyard or garden. With the Triple Chamber Aerobic Compost Bin you can constantly have all three stages of compost. Thus, there’s always fresh, usable compost available for your lawn or garden. Here’s how it works: there are three different chambers in which to place anything you might use for compost – table scraps, yard waste, etc. You place the materials into the top chamber and let them sit for a few days. Then, by using a slideable shelf, you can move the scraps to the second chamber, allowing you to add more compost material to the first bin. A few days after that, repeat the cycle so the material can filter in to the final chamber…this is where it sits and matures until the end result is rich, glorious compost.

It’s a time saver, and it means you can in essence, have a long lasting supply of compost handy. Not a bad idea, all things considered. If you are one who likes to organize or color code, then this style of gardening is surely for you. It means that there is a focused nature to your compost, something that you can rely on.

Chain Saws

Uses:

Trimming trees and shrubs
Breaking down garden waste

Chain saws are nice to have if you have large trees and shrubs in your landscaping that require regular maintenance. As with chipper shredders, mowers, etc., we recommend electrical chainsaws for the garden as they are better for the environment. There are also manual chainsaws which allow you to use your own human energy to cut quickly through garden debris.

Chipper Shredder

Uses:

Shredding garden waste
Making mulch for the garden

Chipper shredders are handy tools if you want to break down garden debris. If you have a lot of trees and shrubs that you prune regularly, a chipper

shredder is definitely a useful tool to have in your garden shed. There are electric chipper shredders available that are good alternatives to the noisy gas guzzling models.

Power Tillers

Uses:

Mixing compost into the soil
Breaking up tough soil
Tilling garden soil

Power tillers can save you lots of time preparing garden beds for planting. If you’re a serious gardener with big plots of veggies, this can be an indispensable tool. Even if you don’t have a big garden, a small electric tiller can really help in the garden.

You can pick from gasoline powered tillers or electric models. If you’re working an extra large garden plot, it’s more sensible to use a bigger, gas-powered tiller. If you have a smaller plot, a smaller electric tiller is very useful. Remember that electric garden tools are quieter and better for the environment. Most gardeners prefer a tiller with a forward and a reverse gear.
