The Rumford Gardener JBI2000 Gardener's Kneeler/Seat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just about everybody over the age of thirty has some kind of issue with knee and/or back pain, esp. when you want to do seasonal clean-ups inside or out.
I was kind of flabbergasted when I was on my hands and knees, cleaning the bathroom floor, and my knees...hurt!...just from kneeling on the tile. I bought this device to help with that chore, and it's a lifesaver. It's made for outdoor use (and it's one of the sturdiest things I've ever bought), but for me it's been wonderful for indoor cleaning.
The reviews here are excellent, so I don't want to reinvent that wheel. There are just two things I'd add from my own observations; that is, things you might not know until you actually order and get this kneeler.
First of all, the yellow pad is on both sides, it's not just padded one one side. Now as it's show in this picture, it's something to sit on. If you burn it upside down so the yellow pads are a few inches off the floor, behold! It's a kneeler! The metal "arms" that become long when you flip it over are extremely sturdy. If you have problems working on the floor and getting up, they'll hold your weight easily and make getting off the floor a breeze (you don't even have to be kneeling ON it to use it as a sturdy prop to stand up.)
The other thing is that the device is folded up when you get it. To use it, you just open one "leg," then the other. Some folks seem to have problems folding it back up (very easy to store.) To do this, look for the springs on each side. There is a metal bar that runs perpendicular to the springs. Grasp the bar AND the spring section and squeeze. It's very resilient. You don't have to force the two bars together, but just enough to loosen the knobs that click into place when you open the device. When you squeeze (and yes, it's a bit hard if you're a woman), push the arm down, and one half is folded. Do the same with the other side, and you're done. (To open it, just open each arm. It locks into place with no effort.)
You don't have to be an AARP member to find this device to be incredibly useful. I bought two: one for indoors and one for outside stuff. I absolutely recommend it if you find that your glucosamine and chondroitin tablets are taking awhile to kick in with that knee pain!

The Rumford Gardener Red Foam Kneeling Pad JBI1002 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Thank goodness I found a product made with quality. I've had the cheap pads from the large hardware stores. They don't last and endup taking up space in the trash can. Spend a little more for this pad, you will be happy and get your money's worth by keeping it longer.

Burpee 72-Cell Greenhouse Kit - Seed Starting Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I decided to sprout my own garden plants this year, so I went to Walmart and bought 2 of the Jiffy seed starting kits. I filled them up very quicking (even though they each start 72 plants)and on a subsequent visit to Home Depot,saw the Burpee kits. "Well, well," I thought, "this must be MUCH better than the Jiffy!. First off, it's made by Burpee, the reputable seed company. Secondly, it's a bit more expensive than the Jiffy. Thirdly, it's got these cute little markers so you can tell what is planted where."
Fellow Amazon consumer, I was wrong, wrong WRONG! Don't get me wrong - if you want to start seeds and can't find the Jiffy model, or if you've already bought the Burpee, you'll still be able to grow little plants. But here are the advantages the Jiffy model has over the Burpee: 1. Jiffy uses little peat pellets that grow into bags of peat. You DO have to be careful that they are positioned correctly when you add the water the first time, but they work beautifully and can be removed easily from the little greenhouse. This means that you can reuse the greenhouse again and again by simply purchasing refill peat bag pellets. 2. The pellet design, and the design of the inserts for the Jiffy make watering MUCH easier. You can even water the entire little greenhouse by removing one little bag carefully and pouring the water into one cell. The Burpee, however, must be watered very carefully so as not to disturb your little seedlings, and you have to water in many places to moisten every cell. 3. The Jiffy is cheaper. I DO advise buying either greenhouse-lette locally, they are almost %50 cheaper than ordering on line.
As for the cute little seed markers? I can't find anything that will write on them! I've tried permanent markers, pencils, ballpoints, regular markers, colored pencils, crayons and have even tried to melt the crayons! Nothing works! I have to tear off the top of the seed bag and hang it on the marker, which is inconvenient if you haven't used all the seeds in the bag. Also, the paper falls off easily. Ah well.

Curlex I Erosion Control Blanket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently did some work at home requiring me to dig 4 trenches. To best rate the product, compared it to using the product as directed, not using it at all, using it until the grass began coming through the product and then removing, and also covered some of the seeded spaces with hay. Using the product as directed, I have thick dense grass growing. It came up quicker than all other areas tested, and is thicker as well.
It's very important to make sure the product is flush with the ground, and to let the grass get several inches tall before mowing it. If not, the product will become a tripping hazard and will get caught up in the lawn mower. The latter is not a significant problem, but you won't get the best use out of it.
Also, I had one place in my yard where I'd left a tarp on it for most of the winter and the grass was mostly dead. I shaved the existing grass down with my trimmer (aka weed eater), seeded and fertilized and put the product down over the top. All the grass is growing well at this point, and it was absolutely worth it. I've shared it with my neighbors and they to have used it with much success.
Those interested should keep in mind that it's not going to make grass grow, in places grass won't grow. For instance, if your soil is poor of if you use this in shade; it's not going to be effective. Consider hardscaping instead.

Phoenix Recycled Prod. Inc. 24"X6' Brn Perm Mulch Pm263 Edging Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this item aug 20,2010 and received it aug 24,2010. SUPER FAST SHIPPING! Kudos to the seller. However,I am a dummy and thought that this product was longer because the seller uses two different units of measurement to describe the product size. My mistake for shopping while half asleep.But I wanted to reinerate that this product is 2 ft x 6 ft. Aside from my mistake the product is a good one. I am using this to cover a dead patch of land that I frequently walk on.I feel the product is on par in terms of quality with the border edge we got at the "Blue" big box store. What I do hate is that everywhere you look for this product it has a high shipping cost. That sucks especially since they don't sell this size in the stores around here. I guess I am spoiled with Free and low cost shipping but nevertheless,I will be ordering more. Two thumbs up!!!

You can defintely see the weedblock working in the side of our garden where we laid it compared to the untreated side. Works great and I love that it is all natural for our vegetable garden. My only complaint is that in areas where it rains alot (central PA) it does decompose VERY quickly.

Black & Decker 1707 Deluxe 1-1/4-Inch Thick Garden Kneeling Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use these for my knees and elbows when I'm digging dinosaur bones out of the ground in Montana -- where we lay for hours at a time. I have used less dense, less expensive versions of these "gardening pads," but this type is well worth the extra cost.
Spend the extra few bucks and your body will thank you that evening ;-)
My only complaint/suggestion is that I wish I could buy a version that was twice this size -- not because I'm big (I'm not) but because I use them for my hips and elbows and a little more "wiggle room" would be nice. Otherwise I have to constantly shift these things to keep them under my pressure points. But if you were *only* using these to kneel on level ground, then this is all you need.

Hydrofarm JSV2 2-Foot Jump Start T5 Grow Light System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered the JSV2 2' grow light jump start system and it arrived pretty quickly and set up was a breeze. All you really need is a screw driver and common sense. I put it together in about 10 minutes and the pully system for the light comes already assembled and works great.
It also comes with a 24 watt T5 6400k High output fluorescent bulb which is already installed upon arrival. The 6400k bulb is a very efficient low heat bulb which is designed to promote overall growth in the plant. Because it is a low heat emitting bulb you can place the light source a couple inches from the plants to prevent the loss of light.
This is not a complex system, it is simple and efficient. For the price it would be hard to find a package which comes with a stand, a reflective fixture, a good bulb, easy adjustment, and easy assembly. It is a good first step into the grow light world which is vast and and many times confusing. I also found that it isn't really that flimsy. The product isn't industrial grade but the light fixture is sturdy and so is the stand if you put it together correctly.
I will be growing venus fly traps when they arrive and I have researched grow light systems quite a bit. This system will only cost me $1.50 cents to run per month. The calculation can be done by taking the 24 Watts and dividing it by 1000 to get KW. Then multiply that number by how much the electric company charges per Kilowatt hour. That is the price it will cost to power the light for one hour. Then multiply that number for one hour by however many hours you will run it during the day. Then just multiply the cost of one day by 30 days and you have how much it will cost you to run the system for a month.
For example here is mine 24W/1000 = .024
.024 x .1484 (cost per kWh) = .0035616 cents per hour (less than 1 cent an hour). .0035616 x 14 hours = .0498624 dollars per day (about 5 cents). .0498624 x 30 = 1.50 per month. So my light run for 14 hours will cost one dollar and fifty cents per month. This is assuming that the light runs at 24 Watts per hour.
When I was shopping for grow lights online I found a very helpful website that includes a much better description on the Jump Start grow light and has a lot of technical and very helpful information on plant lighting. littlegreenhouse.com/accessory/lights2.shtml#jsfixture.
The website has a grow lighting guide and also contains the calculation above. It was by far the most helpful website when considering this purchase. It includes a good bit of information about the T5 6400k bulb and the Jump Start from HydroFarm.

This is SOOO much better then a cheaper plain foam kneeling pad. This has a LOT of give and support for your knees. Since it is oval it leaves more room for positioning. The vinyl is perfect for wet or moist environments. If you dont like the design, its only on one side. Seriously this product is less then other expensive mats out there but the quality is amazing. you could use this for a seat cushion too!

Cat Scat Mats, Set of 5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased a pack of "CATSCAT", the prickly teeth mat. The color is chocolate brown so they blend nicely into the landscape. The teeth (1" high) are not as sharp as a plastic fork but very pointed. I cut the mats in half with scissors and secured them with metal staples along the top of the wooden fence railing that cats and squirrels like to use as a runway.
So far, squirrels and cats will run across them once. After the first attempt, they will detour around them. The mats are an expensive option but especially effective in limited areas like indoor or outdoor pots or window boxes. The mats can be left there permanently year round or moved from place to place.
Made in England with recycled plastic. Each mat is 8 1/2" X 7". They have built-in ground anchors that can be bent down to secure them in the ground. The manufacturer recommends avoiding areas where very young children play and where cats may jump down on them from a height.
