Lawn and Garden Reviews

McCulloch MT2027 3.7 Amp, 12" Twist & Edge Trimmer is cheap but reliable for yard/garden work. Easy to use and light, a convinience for any person.

I have used one of these sprinkers for four seasons of daily use. There are also a lot of minerals in my water. It has held up better than any other oscillating sprinkler I have owned. When it did fail the store replaced it with a new one.

The very first time I used the Miracle Frying Oil Pump, I had an positive experience in that it worked like a charm. The used frying oil, once cooled, was extracted from the frying container and the pump filtered approximately 90-95% of the cornmeal batter used for frying the fish. However, following the second use of the product, I encountered several problems. First, since there were no instructions included in the box, cleaning it was a problem you had to try solving yourself. I pumped a warm soapy solution through the tubing; however, this method was not totally successful. The vertical tube from the pump to the hose (that delivers the oil to a metal or plastic container of your choice) was not very clean. So I proceeded to unscrew a couple of the screws holding the tube which houses the rod from the pump motor to the filter mechanism. This ended in thorough cleaning the vertical tube. However, when reinserting the rod, I could not center it in the middle of the hole in the circular part of the filter. Had the instructions been included in the product's box, it would have saved me many hours of attempting to reassemble this item after cleaning. Also, when cleaning, be sure that you do not allow any water in the battery compartment as it will affect the contacts of the pump motor and batteries. After the initial use of the pump, I found that the batteries had a slight coating of oil on them. Thus, each time frying oil has been pumped, the battery compartment should be cleaned with a cloth that has been sprayed with an all-purpose cleaner/degreaser product.

What a difference it makes using this gas powered lawn edger. No more sore back. No more blisters on my fingers. The most physical part to edging now is starting the edger, and that only took a couple of pulls of the cord. It used to take a couple of hours to do my edging the first time of the season. Now I'm done edging in about 25 minutes. I choose gas powerd for 2 reasons. 1)I feel that with lawn toys...I mean lawn tools, gas is more powerfull than elecrtic. 2) I didn't want to be "tied" to a cord. When edging for the first time of the season I recomend starting on the 2nd highest setting of the 6. Then I change it to the fourth setting. And lastly, I set it for the deepest setting. I just got my edger last week so I can't tell you for sure, but I think that for the rest of the season I'll just use the deepest setting. Now the hard part will be not getting "shamed" into doing all my neighbors lawn edging.

I bought this for a Bolens 38" cut rider. The unit is designed for multiple applications (about a half dozen tractors) and was kind of a Pain-in-the butt to put together. It took help from a friend to install the tines. It even bent 2 screwdrivers in the process. The metal they use is pretty heavy. The nice thing about the product is that it is front mounted. So you can bag as to go. It got up so much thatch that I had a 4'x10'x10' foot pile from approximately ? acre lot!

Several years ago, we hired a landscaper to remake our lawn. They used roto-tillers to churn up the existing lawn, then covered it with many tons of top soil, leveling the soil with rakes. They were to come back in a couple of days to lay sod, but I was worried that the top-soil/old-sod mixture would be too soft to work well. So, I bought one of these rollers at Home Depot, filled it with water and rolled it over the front "lawn" numerous times. It mashed the entire surface down pretty well. The only thing better would have been a larger (heavier) roller. However, because the lawn has some mild inclines, I wouldn't have been able to push or pull anything heavier than this roller. (I'm 6/4 and weigh 270). It's pretty easy to roll over level ground, but it doesn't take much of an incline to become problematic. I only used the device for an afternoon, but it paid for itself with that one job, because the lawn turned out great.

For storage, the handle removes easily, and once the water is drained, it's not very heavy.

This home-owner grade tool may not be appropriate for landscaping contractors, but it's fine for occasional use.

This rope is excellent for tyin'. I've been rather disappointed in its versatility, however, as it is only so-so for wranglin'. I tried using it for wrastlin' but discovered that one does not need rope at all to wrastle.

If I were to give performance scores for each of the potential uses of this rope, they would be as follows:

Tyin': 10/10
Wranglin': 7/10
Rustlin': 4/10
Lassoin': 8/10
Chustlin': 9/10

If you plan on using this rope for anything other than tyin' or chustlin', I recommend you look into a separate rope - or buy different ropes for those activities.

Easy to construct. Keeps contents dry. I thought the description had said the top could be used as a table, but this is not true. Top is tilted enough that most things would roll off.

This is a heaveyduty hose guide for sure. Made of a good solid cast iron with a nice unknown finish. The stake is good and long and keeps the guide firmly in place. The curve is good and deep and keeps the hose from coming out. I like em!

I'm and very inerested in your solar lighting features because as you claim they are cost effective and technologically superior to others offered on the market
