Gardens just don’t have to be in the ground. Did you know that? Well, apparently it’s true. Want to save space, don’t have a yard, or really just want to throw your fist in the face of any traditional gardening ground rules? Well, feel free to. There’s a DVD that will tell you how to do exactly that.
The How to Build a Vertical Garden DVD takes you step by step through this process. A number of plants, vegetables, and fruits can be grown this way. You won’t have to hurt your back bending over all the time, and will still have the taste and quality of a high tech garden. Everybody wins, and you have an original, not traditional garden. Sounds good to me.

Killing weeds by zapping them? No, it’s not some sort of crazy sci-fi related technique. It’s a new way to attack weeds right at the source, stopping normal plant functions and killing the weed at the root. The Electric Weed Zapper is a pretty unique invention in that sense. It is able to kill the weed at the root by using thermogenic energy.
The process is simple: place the weed zapper on top of the weed that you wish to destroy. Press it down. Let it stay down 3 seconds for normal size weeds, or 8 seconds for really big ones. And there you go. No harmful chemicals, you can be weed specific and target individual weeds as well – this is nice because it means you don’t run the risk of killing surrounding plants, as you do if you are using a spray or chemical weed killer.
Also, let’s be honest…the concept of a weed zapper is just cool. For women, it’s a perfect way to get your husband out there zapping weeds…guys will love this tool. It’s only 6 pounds so no worries in regards to heavy lifting. Just pick this weed zapper up and reclaim yourself as king of the garden.
